The guys in the NFL are the elite athletes, don't forget that. Especially in the running back position, there are so many great running backs in the league that have the skills and the physical ability. If you are missing one you won't be more then a third down back in this league.

I completely agree with you. However, I do believe Jerome Bettis is the exception to your third down back rule. My comment was directed at all the time quotes. This is not track and field we are talking about. I am not impressed with who is the fastest runner. If you are extremely fast, and have additional stats of rarely fumbling the ball, a low number of missed tackles, or few drops on catchable balls, that is when I am impressed. My Packers have pretty fast people on defense, but can't tackle anybody to save their life.
