Warrior General Games

ffs people...

Earl Campbell? John Riggens? Jerome Bettis?

Ricky Williams and Larry Johnson are two recent power/spd backs who were dominant when not crazy/playing in shape.

Power back's not dead. Personally I like combo.
I also think Bo Jackson>Barry Sanders, Walter Payton and Gale Sayers

I too think Bo would have been the best of all time had he not been injured. However When you speak about Bo
(my Fav back of all time he and Payton) please know what your talking about. Bo was NOT a power back. Bo was a combo back.

"He also ran a 4.12 40 yard dash, still considered the fastest verifiable 40 time at an NFL Combine."

Yes a 4.12!

I have 4 builds speed, power, super elusive and balanced. I am unnerfable.

Your wallet got nerfed imo.

Very true. I can't understand how I spend so much money on these dots.



Just wait for all his special point giveaways

Easily among the best ever. You've obviously never seen him run.

Obviously he was an excellent back . . . nobody's arguing that . . . .

But he isn't up there with Jim Brown/Walter Payton . . .

I know Bort caught a lot of heck because everyone whined about the power back being to "powerful" a few seasons ago, I even went in and figured join the crowd, now it seems the power back is nothing more than a very sub standard back in the game today with the fast elusive guys getting all yards.




Well... I didn't read the thread. I see posts like this, I just go look at their players that are nerfed.

One of your HB's has a 11 ypc and the other 9.7.

I don't feel the need to say anything further.

eric dickerson should get a little love as a speedster/elusive/combo back

Bruiser doesn't work - period.

Last year my PB had 15 bruiser and was TFL 10 times in 194 caries (.05%) - the season before with zero in Bruiser he was TFL 6 times in 267 carries (.02%)

Just like so many other VAs - worthless crap

as long as we're still throwing out great backs...

OJ Simpson
Marshall Faulk
Terrell Davis (Griffey of RBs?)

i am making a power back right now. Playing on a CPU team.

pretty new to the game. How should i spend my points? Right now i am throwing my daily points into strength. I haven't used any -level up- points yet, along with the 15 free points given out.

Any suggestions?

Bruiser works, you clearly just don't have the SAs, speed, strength and/or carrying to make it useful.

You also played on a different team, different league last year. Could have a lot to do with different competition and different blocking.
