The Patriots back in '94 signed Marion Butts, the mediocre former Charger to be their lead back. He was so loving bad at running the ball that they instead just let Drew Bledsoe throw the ball 700 times that season and my love of football was born.

Sour Diesel posted:i feel the pats and the steelers (outside of le'veon bell of course) probably have the biggest stable of mediocre rbs Sammy Morris had a 12 year NFL career as a RB which is pretty incredible and spent 4 in Buffalo, 3 in Miami then 4 in New England. He had 3000 career rushing yards.

On the other hand I will go ahead and mention Kevin Faulk who I loath to call mediocre, but truth be told he was never really used that much. He also played 12 seasons, but all in New England, and ended his career with nearly identical rushing and receiving numbers 3600 rushing yards, 16 rushing TDs 3700 receiving yards, 15 receiving TDs. Then he gets replaced by Danny Woodhead, who I liked before PFTCommenter made him a meme.

The best were the old 90's style giant fat running backs that became pretty rare after Bettis, but god, remember Sam Gash? or Bam Morris. Thank you Eddie Lacey and Blount for keeping the tubby boys alive. Brandon Jacobs thanks you.

Timby posted:I was just looking up the Bears' list of all-time running backs and thinking back to the days of guys like Curtis Enis and Rashaan Salaam and James Allen, and then realized that not only does Walter Payton (naturally) have the team's record for rushing yards, but the next-closest guy, Forte, is more than eight thousand yards behind Payton. Barry Sanders has a fair bit more then #2-#4 on the Lions' list combined.
