we need a QUICK back, that being Archie. George wouldn't get anywhere with our line.

This years bucks need Eddie more then anything. You could build a strong case for pace though. You can say archie was faster or whatever ud like,but it isnt like he could be proven that he could compete with the guys nowadays.
Just like everyone else. Now if O.J Simpson was on the list with his sub 10 second 100 meters i'd buy into that. That and of course the strength programs and the use of certain "liquid power" that people dont use in division one sports because they test for those u know!

Since the question was this years team, I had to go with Orlando Pace. He could even make Lydell look decent. Seriously, he really could. It was hard to pass up on Achie becasue we need a RB so bad, but I think with Pace our ok RB Ross will run for a thousand and if by some miracle JT lets Pittman play more he could be a dominant back with Pace there.

Its gotta be Eddie. If we had a running game with our sick D, Nugent, and explosive recievers it would be hard to top.

I know pace would be great ... but the problem isn't the O-line, its the RB so I got to go with Eddie.

A back like Robert Smith would be an immense help to the current team. I can't call him an "all-time favorite", but he could definitely turn on the jets.
In lieu of Robert, I'd take Archie or Chic any day!
