Top three in the conference go....who has been more productive and reliable
than Willie other than the two guys going with him, LJ and LT?

Rudi Johnson? Not nearly as productive as Parker, though he was probably the
closest threat.
Willis McGahee has been hurt.
Ronnie Brown was pretty much a sophomore bust.
Fred Taylor & Corey Dillon lost too many carries to their rookie backups.
Jamal Lewis is wearing down. Lamont Jordan was horrible. Travis Henry got
his chances too late in the season to put up the stats. Same for Addai in
Indy.
Nobody consistent on the Jets, Browns, Broncos, or Texans.

So if I had to objectively vote someone into that third spot, it's still
Parker, fumbles and all. Fred Taylor would probably be the closest #4 I
could come up with, but that would be partly on career achievement, and had
they voted that way I wouldn't feel as if Parker had been sleighted.

But there's no way I put Rudi in ahead of Parker.
