Build an offense with players with 3 years or less NFL experience (being they can be going into thier forth year) filling the following positions.

QB - Jay Cutler
RB - Adrian Peterson
RB - Frank Gore
RB - Maurice Jones-Drew
WR - Marques Colston
WR - Braylon Edwards
WR - Brandon Marshall
TE - Heath Miller


QB - Jay Cutler
RB - Adrian Peterson
RB - Marshawn Lynch*
RB - LenDale White*
WR - Brandon Marshall
WR - Braylon Edwards
WR - Marques Colston
TE - Kellen Winslow*

Winslow has some of the best hands for a tight end in the NFL. Last year he had 1106 yards for five touchdowns so he provides another great pair of hands and would make Cutlers job even easier.

Lynch is a great back,he can run up the gut and has the speed to strech it outside. Like Winslow he also had a great season getting 1115 yards and averaging 86 yards per game showing his duriblity as a starter and a great number two back.

Whites the guy every team needs a great up the gut runner who's a great goal line rusher and can carry the load when needed like last uear when he had over 1,000 yards and 7 touchdowns

Since you didnt argue ill stop right there
good luck


First Kellen Winslow has already been in the league for 4 years... he is going into his 5th season. his rookie season was 2004.

Lendale White is a decent back but has not shown the flare that Jones-Drew has and White only averages 3.7 yards a carry where jons-drew averages 5.1. Jones drew also is a better reicever and scores more TDs

Frank Gore is a power house Running back and has played extremly well the past two seasons and also averages more yards a carry than lynch.


He only has three years of NFL EXPERIENCE which means he is allowed since he has only played in 04,06 and 07 as an added bonus you agree with me since you didnt argue the fact that Miller is better then Winslow so my player better there

I picked White for one reason and thats that all championship winning teams have great up the gut goalie rushers. Look at the Steelers, Giants, Ravens and many more teams they all had a man who could put the ball in the endzone on the one or two yard line. Lynch and Peterson are great backs who can strech it outside so a guy like White is a way better fit since he still ran for over 1,000 yards last year.

So what Gore averages .2 yards more then Lynch. You forgot to mention the fact that Lynch ran for 12 more yards every game then Gore and had two more touchdowns so the .2 makes little difference when you look at the other factors plus Lynch was only a rookie and this year will get more yards then last year which makes him way way better then Gore

My players are better

Just because he was injured doesn't mean he doesn't have 4 years onf NFL experience. I mean we could have picked tony romo then. He has 6 years of NFL experience but has only played for 2 seasons? is this right? Get out!!! The rosters would have been totally different you put no thought into this.

You did little to argue Jones Drew over white because it is the truth jones-drew is more valuable. But it would be better to compare jones-Drew and Lynch and then Gore and White since they are simalar type runners and Drew and Gore beat either on of them almost in every catagory. And just because Lynch averages more yards a game doesn't mean that much. He just touchs the ball more. Gore is still a better runner.

I'd put Addai in there before I put White or Jones-Drew. Also you can make a case for Gonzalez or Johnson as WR on this list. Both had pretty good rookie seasons and should only get better.

4.2 yards a carry doesn't suck... specially for a team that has NO passing threat. he broke 1000 yrds. that doesn't suck. granted he only scored 5 times... **** barry had years where he only scored 3.... i doubt you would say he sucks.
