Order right now:

1: Campbell 

2: Henry

3: Johnson

4: George 

 

George and Johnson are kinda a toss up. If henry does this for next few years I can see him being the best.
 

I would definitely flip CJ and Eddie there. Although it's still close between George and Henry for 2nd place, but you can make a case for either.

 

It will take at least a few more years before Henry catches The Tyler Rose, but if he keeps playing the was he has, it's definitely within reach for the King.

Henry is leading the league right now, with 588 yards. Edwards-Helaire had a big game last night, and is second at 505. Henry has played one fewer game than all the other backs. However, he still has more carries than any other back in the league. We are using him a lot. It's funny because people think this means Tanny isn't doing anything. He doesn't sneak up on other teams, but he does shock their fans when he passes all over them. They are scared of Henry and don't even get that Tanny is playing top notch ball, too.

Consider this. Henry should eclipse 5k easily this year and more, sits at 4421 with 44 career TDs, should easily surpass 50 TDs this year, and he will be over 1,000 yard average per season and over 10 TDs averaged per. 
 

And he can still be an effective spell back at the end of his career. 
 

Henry has a good shot at 10k yards and 100 TDs, and the conditioning and discipline to do it.

 

Believe it.

It’s interesting. RB tend to fall off by 30, but Henry is such a freak he could be an anomaly. It wouldn’t shock me if he’s still playing like a beast by the end of the 4 yr deal. We’ll cross that bridge when it gets there.  It’s a long ways away. No you definitely wouldn’t give him another long term deal, but if he was  willing to take a 1 yr deal he could still be pretty effective even if his role is more reduced by that point. Just give him one year deals until the wheels actually fall off.

Yeah, this contract would take him to year 8. I think he would surpass CJ before that. Eight years is how long we had Eddie. 
 

I’m excited for this man’s career.

 

 But I agree. Henry could likely still effective in the twilight.

Even when that speed drops off he's still going to be a very effective power back that you can pair with a more dynamic/versatile guy. I think we caught a glimpse of what Henry will look like last year vs the raiders where he played with a bad hammy and played well but runs that would normally go for 50+ went for like 20.  Injuries are the key factor and Henry is as durable as they come. If Frank Gore can play as long as he has why not Henry? He surely won't be s Titan his whole career but I expect him to be in the league for a long time.

Totally agree.

Just heard Marcellus Wiley, “Dat Dude,” in a Speak for Yourself video,  say a player from the NFCE asked him what was wrong with the Cowboys and he said Quiet as kept, I think it’s Zeke. 

 

The player had someone else over and said to the back ground, Come here, you gotta here this. Say it again.

 

He said again, I think it’s Zeke. 

Guy says, I told you! to his friend.

Wiley said it is widespread knowledge amongst those players that Ezekiel Elliott has lost something off his fastball. Could be mental.

 

Zeke just got a tattoo that says Feed Me. They spoke about getting that big contract and then disappearing.

 

Henry is going counter trend and proving that addage wrong, so far.

I worry about his late start. Hopefully he's got another 4-5 years in him after now but who knows. Guys this big usually get done in by smaller injuries like eddie and the toe.

Which in a way makes Eddie’s longevity kind of unique. He wasn’t the same but he wasn’t halted either. 
 

God forbid that happens to Henry. But it could. 

 

Playing under DeMarco Murray gave Henry some time to marinate and he got all growed up last year. Not worried by the late start. Dude is different and the delay only helped him. No further sign of immaturity, team leader.

 

Compare to Ezekiel Elliott, for instance.

Which is why getting that complimentary running game going is so important. It looks as though we’re finally getting there.

 

Really hoping McNichols and Evans are successful in their roles going forward. I’m very encouraged.

CJ was actually similar. His 8th year in the league was as productive or more productive than his 3rd-7th years on a per-game/per-touch ave... until he got injured. 2 more useless years after that. That last injury ended it for him.

Eddie played 9 years and the last one was super bad.

 

I do think DH got lucky that he could rest his body some from those last two Alabama years.... and he IS a different type of human physically. Those guys only come along a couple every 5-10 years.... a 10 year career would be awesome. 15/18 years like Emmit and Gore isn't likely at all.

Elliot's a good back, but he's also had the perfect storm of having a lot of help around him. The issue I've had with him is he doesn't really make that many explosive plays. His longest run the past 3 seasons is 33, 41, and 30 yards. Henry eats 30 yard runs for breakfast 8-)

 

He's better all-around, but I wouldn't take him over King Henry
