Curtis Martin is having one hell of a year. This guy gets no respect, you hardly ever hear him mentioned along with the other great backs.

He's having a great year ... but, closest to Holmes is a stretch.

Someone just made a trade offer to me...

Vinny Testaverde for Curtis Martin (my player)

WTF is he smoking?

I absolutely agree. And I like watching both of them run. Martin is having a little bit of a late resurgence as well. I don't feel bad with Martin and Priest competing for most yards rushing. They are both work horses. Somehow, I'ld resent LT, RW, or AG getting the title.

I acquired Martin 2 weeks ago for Fred Taylor and Tory Holt.

Tiki Barber is clearly the next Greg Hill.

Nice move.

But yeah, I wouldn't feel bad if LT got the title, he's the best RB IMO. Portis on the other hand...

LT hasn't done shit this year. So much for him being the best RB in football.

LT hasn't done shit this year. So much for him being the best RB in football.I would say he is the 2nd best back in football, but in fairness LT has been playing when he should not be due to injury. Guy is showing his toughness by playing through the injury.

martin doesn't run his yapp, has more yards than jim brown. He is better than priest right now

You gotta give Martin props. He is just a go to work, get it down kind of player. What is he 7th in all time rushing now? He doesn't get enough respect for what he has accomplished.

CuMar is a great RB. Warrior, great guy, great team player, great talent, etc. etc.

BUT he is NOT Priest Holmes. CuMar doesn't have terrific breakaway speed anymore, and never had breakaway speed like Holmes does.

CuMar is terrific, and I'd take him on my team anytime.

But honestly, don't compare to Jim Brown. Just say no to that one.
