Who cared about who's number 1... The Colts liked bringing Rhodes off of the bench because of his down hill running style. They'd use Addai to soften the defense up and then put Rhodes in to run down hill.

And who ever wants to debate... just answer the questions. Who led the postseason in rushing yards? And who popped off the longer runs between Addai and Rhodes?

The answer will tell you who the better "runner" is!
no, you will find the real answer this coming season, when he'll be playing behind lamont jordan, and when he won't be doing anything behind that horrible offensive line.

Tony....based off of your question you are saying Rhodes is the better back between

thomas jones
cedric benson
reggie bush
duece mccallister
corey dillon
brian westbrook
ladanian tomlinson
shaun alexander
larry johnson
julius jones
tiki barber



All that rhodes stats mean is that he played in more games...that's it!!!!!

I would take ANY....I REPEAT ANY of the backs listed above before Rhodes...and I would also take Addai before rhodes........as Indy has also chosen..hence rhodes no longer there

you also forgot the two minnesota gopher backs, laurence maroney and marion barber. i will also gladly take them over dominic "most rushing yards in the 2006 postseason" rhodes.

Your questions are weak.

Who led the Colts rushing attack overall?

Who did the Colts give the majority of the rushes to?

You do understand that Rhodes was put on the backburner for a reason, right?

And by the way, Rhodes did not win any postseason games for the Colts. In case you didn't watch the games, it was the defense that won them those games when Peyton was having a bad day. You're trying to give Rhodes credit that he does not deserve, and the only reason you're trying to give him that credit is because he is on the raiders now. Had he gone to any other team you would not even be debating this. "Keep it real!"

I'm keeping it real....Yes the Colts defense stepped up in the playoffs but Rhodes' down hill running had a lot to do with them winning those playoff games. It wouldn't matter what team he signed to. And Rhodes has always been the number #2 back and didn't mind being one. Actually he preferred to not to start.

And the questions weren't weak... who led the postseason in rushing yards? End of discussion!

Next!

Who cares?

That doesn't make him better than anyone. I think you know enough about football to know that Peyton Manning scares defenses, and that helps his RBs. That doesn't mean his RBs are good, it just means that they are good enough to take advantage of the situations Peyton puts them in.

Rhodes kills James. James doesn't hit the hole... Rhodes hits the whole and hard. That's why the Colts couldn't win a SuperBowl with James at Rb. That same old stretch play got old. Edge wouldn't hit the whole...

All of a sudden Edge James signs with another team and the Colts win a SuperBowl. Edge fumbles at the worse times... remember the Cards vs Bears this year? Or the Patriots vs Colts when Edge fumbled at the goal-line? Edge has to be one of the most overrated running backs in the NFL today.

After reading this, I probably shouldn't bother responding, but I will..

It's true that Edge doesn't hit the hole.. He's just like Kevan Barlow, dancing around like an idiot trying to find an opening that is never going to be there. Rhodes does hit the hole, but still can't produce like James can. They've played in the same system (Indy) and it's quite clear that Edge was the far superior back.

LMAO don't try to make it seem like it was all Edge's fault that the Colts didn't win the SuperBowl when he was there. The last year he was there they were the best team in the league and should have won the SuperBowl, but they fell apart in the playoffs. Dungy's kid killing himself may have had some sort of effect because they never really got it together after that.. But in no way was that Edge's fault. Had James been on the team last year, the outcome would have been no different. In fact, they may have been a more convincing team..

I agree with this statement.. He is not an elite RB like he is portrayed, but he is far better than Rhodes.
