K. Collins, Chris Johnson -- I'd rank them ahead of our guys.
S. Hill, Gore - We're better than Hill and Gore.
Tampa's mess - We're better than Tampa.
Orton, Moreno - Orton is probably better than JC, but MOreno is a total question mark, Id have to put us as better.
Sanchez/Clemens, Jones/Washington - We're about even here, having us slightly ahead. Jones led the AFC in rushing last year, but Sanchez/Clemens are too wild cardish.
Like Orakpo I don't agree with all the rankings, and could see the skins move up a few spots. But I can't argue with a lot of the rankings. That said, a lot of mention of offensive lines in the article. If we're factoring in O-lines, I feel like the list makes more sense.

I don't think ANYONE would argue that the difference between Campbell and Rosenfels is not greater than the difference between Peterson and Portis, though. Maybe someone who thinks Peterson is already better than Barry Sanders, but it'd be hard to take their opinion seriously anyway.
I'd like you to come to Chicago and try to tell someone that Kyle Orton is better than Jason Campbell. You'd get a mixed response of disbelieving laughter, and people wondering who the hell Jason Campbell is. Perhaps both from some people. It's weird how actually being forced to root for certain guys would warp your opinion of them. Oh, and it's really not even close on paper.
