How many RBs in the league DON'T have a history of not staying healthy?

Considering the punishment they take over a 16 game season, it is easy to understand why so many are walking cripples afterthey retire.

Ricky Williams seemed to have an ankle spain the entire time he was with the Saints, but we didn't have 4 RBS like we have now on the roster then lie we do now.

I was just funning about before.

656, look at the article that you posted.

It's a FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE AND ARTICLE!

It's not about RB tandems in the NFL.

Fantasy pts, not real stats is the focus.

The "writer" is a fantasy guru. He is an NFL dummy!

It's ok with me that you are funning.

The writer had this line in his story: 'In today’s NFL, you have to have at least two good starting caliber RBs to compete; so who are the haves and have nots? Let’s take a look.'

I would say that all four of the Saints RBs would be starters on virtually ANY team in the league. Don't forget that it wasn't long ago Pierre Thomas was rumored to be traded to the Patriots; PT is arguably the best screen-running RB in the league. If the Patriots hadn't take the Saints offer to trade up and get Mark Ingram, he may have been a Patriots as well.

We all know what a tremendous FA acquisiton Sproles has been; without a doubt he has been the best FA signing in Saints history after Drew Brees!

My only knocks against Tusk are the frequency of his injuries and he is as useful on a screen play as an old lady is in a bar fight!
