Anyone who says Sproles is lying.

LT.
This guy has finished with 1000 years every year he has played.
Not to mention he did it last year on a spruce wheel...

 

[Lake Louise]

Definately LT, no question.

I didn't vote for sproles lol.

 

[SDdirtybird]

I have to go with LT. I think he bounces back this year and has a good season.

 

[Digital_Viking]

Sproles.


floop LT, hes past his prime and Sproles is just about getting there.
LT is not dominant anymore.

this is Adrian Petersons league now.

I didn't mean to quote your discuss lol. I wasn't trying to say it was you, don't worry haha

 

[RipCity32]

I went with LT...for now.

Let me see a little bit more of Sproles before I vote him.

I agree that Peterson basically runs the league at the moment, but you cant sleep on Kevin Smith.

 

[RipCity32]

Kevin Smith is a lonnnnnnnng ways away from being AP.

He will be a good, maybe great runner in this league though.

Kevin Smith will be a good running back, but he is nothing special, and he certainly isn't in the same building as Adrian Peterson. The only thing Peterson needs to work at is holding onto the football.

You don't know if he is special or not, lots of guys can come out of nowhere to be great.

Sproles has had some straight up finesse runs in SD...but he couldn't take on those tough carries in between the tackles. LT is more of a complete back while Sproles reminds me more of a poor man's Reggie Bush or a better version of Derrick Ward.

On a side note...Kevin Smith isn't even in the same game as APete.

 

[RipCity32]

He did manage pretty good numbers on the worst team in the NFL, the worst o-line in the NFL as well.

 

[jarrod2323]

LT my vote.. Sproles hasn't proven yet he can handle a 300 carry load

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Exactly, I voted LT because if I did vote Sproles, I woulda been wasted at the time and I just voted now... and im not wasted.

Sproles hasnt proven anything in the NFL and hasnt had the time to prove it. LT may be past his prime but hasnt gone too far from it. Give the future HOF a chance, hes done nothing wrong, has some tough injuries last year. Even former RBs have stated that his injuries wont affect his career in the longrun, but that they just take a while to get through and are tough to play through.

One year wont chance my opinion on LT, who I still think is top 5 in the league, possibly top 3. I'll still draft him first round in NFL Sims, never gonna draft Sproles ever, unless Kick Return yards are counted.

 

[Oiler35]

As much as everything is going against LT, I voted for him.
Wifey, getting old, Youth coming through.

 

[lonesomefx]

L.T Is Nowhere near past his prime. Sproles will never be L.T
