2019erday we looked at the NFC West at running back, ranking the top nine backs in the division. But if you had to rank each team based on their backs, would the order change?
In Los Angeles, they have Todd Gurley and a rookie in Darrell Henderson. Henderson was dynamic in college but didn’t play against elite competition.
In Seattle, they have Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny. Carson was great and Penny was a first-round pick. His role will increase in 2019.
Here in Arizona, the Cardinals have David Johnson and Chase Edmonds. While people locally know that Edmonds has potential, he isn’t known really outside the team.
San Francisco is unique in they have three guys that probably are best suited as complementary or No. 2 backs. But the trio of Jerick McKinnon, Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida is deep.
For my money, assuming Todd Gurley is healthy, I take the Rams. They have the best back in Gurley and a young back who can do a number of things.
Every situation is a good one in the division. All should be able to run the ball successfully in 2019.
