NFL Division Preview: AFC West

 Jamaal Charles > The Broncos



Next up, the AFC West, in the style of Cold Coors Light 6-Pack of Questions:

1) When you're talking about the running backs in the AFC West, you're talking about a lot of good running backs under the age of 25.  How do you rank Jamaal Charles, Knowshon Moreno, Ryan Mathews and Darren McFadden?

Dave Hendrie: Charles and McFadden are a clear one and two. Choosing between Moreno and Matthews is hard. They both are young with potential, but neither has been especially productive so far in their respective careers. I will give the edge to Matthews because of the situation he is in.

Sam Widdoes: Darren, Jamaal, Ryan, Knowshon.  Ryan might get to the level of the top two, but McFadden and Charles are clearly way ahead of the pack.

Scott Simon:  Mathews is last. Sorting out the other three is like ranking my favorite pairs of socks. 1,400 is a big number these days so I respect Charles' 2010 season. Ill give Charles my #1 ranking, followed by McFadden, then Moreno (then Mathews).

Johnny Hendrie: Great question. Jamaal Charles has to be the top dawg in this group as he is an established, elite back already. Right now, Run DMC narrowly beats out Ryan Matthews in my book but I was head over heels in love Matthews when he was coming out of Fresno and he could have a breakout year in 2011. Moreno is solid but unproven.
