SI Ranks Offensive Backfields

Simply pointing out that Campbell is no better nor no worse then the other two. The team tried for Cutler because of why? his interception ratio? LOL. just kidding. Yes he had more td's but he also had or interceptions and a few more yrds. but as an over all QB I'd rather have JC simply cause of his interception ratio. His rating was a nice 84.3, Cutler was only 2 percent more....right? so my point is for those who think Cutler is a lights out QB are only fooling themselves when you look at the fact JC had similar stats. All the Skins were doing by trying to pick up Cutler was make a lateral move. I mean it's not like we were trying for Bradey.I think you are very balanced with your Campbell analysis; I just want to know what the rankings you cite are using to rank. The sentence, "Campbell is ranked 26th by statistics" is problematic.

I'm on your side in Campbell and Cutler analysis, the difference is more marketing than actual play on the field. You simply wouldn't give up one to get the other, if there weren't external factors. But most measures don't see Orton as anywhere near the level of Cutler or Campbell, but he's ranked 24th in something, so I was just trying to figure out what.

and I think 24 and 26 represent the respective position on SI's strange list, not SBXVII's ranking of the QBsOh, okay. Got it. I was confused because it was in his line.

Perhaps so...sorry. SI ranked the team 26th. sorry. I felt the team should be higher.

As for my putting Campbell at 84.3 below Orton at 79.6 in my first post ....I was just listing them, but not in order. So people could see the statistics of each QB.

Perhaps that issue is JC's ability to read defense? Honestly I have no idea. but statistically they are similar and I could not see trading out Campbell for Cutler.

Statistically, and wisdom alone I would have to go with Portis. If you are talking about age, future of the team, and being on the rise then yes I would take Forte.

As of right now both of them are really good RBs. I dont think right now you could go wrong with either one of them. I just love Fortes style. He runs like a man on a mission and can do so many different things. Hes going to be really good in Chicago for a long time imo.

I would definitly put us ahead of Chicago

Really? I think Forte is on the same level as Portis and Cutler as of right now is better than Campbell.

When you average 16 points a game, you deserve to be ranked in the bottom of the league. Portis doesn't have to prove anything to me. Let Campbell prove them wrong.

Agreed. :food-smil

Man, our PPG total gets worse and worse everytime someone cites it. Next week, our offense will have scored 9 PPG last season.

The external factors would be something like obscene contract value, or an argument with a coach, fan, a media member, or an owner. Or committing a crime of some sort. Or an allergy to having seven draft picks.

I think that ignores that Campbell/Portis were essentially responsible for 6 out of our 8 wins. With Collins and Betts in those rolls, we're a 4-12, or maybe 3-13 team. Which, I think, is something that unit rankings have to figure in.

yeah, it had nothing to do with our 4th ranked defense...what world are you living in making that statement?
