He's got to rank awfully high.  Maybe he is HOF bound.  Meh.

Rush yds:  9320, 4.7 ypc, 50 td
Rec yds:  4908, 8.9 ypc, 12 td


And according to this website:  http://www.topbacks.com/lists/yardsfromscrimmage.html , Barber ranks 20th all time in yards from scrmmage.  And given his current pace, I'd say he has a legit shot at moving up  somewhere between 11 and 13 by the end of the year.

From that list 6 of the players ahead of Barber are WRs.
Meaning that he is 14th all time in yardage for RBs.
If he averages 100 total yards per game for the rest of the season he would only move up one slot to 13th among running backs, past Franco Harris.
He would need about 1400 more yards this season to move up to 11th, past Jim Brown and Ricky Watters.

Like I said, no way he makes it to the HOF.

I think he's got shot at gaining another 1400 total yds....more actually.  He's already over 500 rushing yds for the season through 5 games so 1000 yards in the next 11 shouldn't be too far of a stretch for him.  He's also sitting on 190 recieving yards so he's pretty much on pace to finish the season with 600 yards there.  That would actually give him 2100 total yards on the year. 

Will he gain that many?  I doubt it but I believe he's broken the 2000 total yard mark once or twice before so it's definately do-able.  My guesstimate is that he will finish the season with 1300ish yards rushing and 500 yds recieving.......which will still give him 1800 total yards.

Wow, that came from nowhere.

Not at all. He's been all but declaring it outright for a long time. As a wise man said back in the Giants haiku thread...

Bears S Mike Brown was put on IR.

[PhillyPhreak54]

That's a big loss for them.

I saw he hurt his foot on MNF and had to have surgery - I wonder if Ms. Lis Franc paid him a visit?

Ethan Albright Strikes Back

Albright, an offensive lineman for the Skins, writes an open letter to John Madden for making him the lowest rated player in Madden 07.  It's hilarious.

To: John Madden
CC: Electronic Arts Sports
From: Ethan Albright
Re: Being the worst rated player on Madden '07

Hi, John, my name is Ethan Albright. I play line for the Washington taterskins. You probably already knew that, so I'll continue. I am writing in regards to the overall player rating of 53 that I have received in Madden NFL Football 2007. I feel that this is farging bullshtein and you should kiss my mother-farging ass. Ahmed Carroll was rated a 78 and the Packers just cut his ass on a Tuesday morning after his performance in a Monday night game.   That is pretty terrible. The worst part is that his overall rating was sniffing 80.

You know what, John? Two can play this game. I rate you a farging 12. I rate you a farging 12 in Ethan Albright Football 2000-ever... except for in the category of ball-licking. That is where I will spot you a 98 rating. You will receive this score because I will never give your blubbery ass a 99 in any category. Take that, pencil-dick. Go do Al Micheals or something. Boom. Score one for Red Beard.

It's also pretty wonderful that my awareness rating was 59. You make it sound like I wake up in the morning, helplessly shtein and piss myself, then lose three of my teeth before I discover that I am trying to eat a rock for breakfast. farg, John, I understand you saying that I am slow and lacking athleticism, but a rating like this pretty much labels me as retarded. Rod "He Hate Me" Smart has a 52 in this category. Electronic Arts is saying that seven rating points separate me and the breathing embodiment of the perfect oxymoron. Rod Smart struggled to arrange words in sentence form. Cave men had better hold of the English language. The only actions that separate point values of ignorance at this embarrassing level are things like using your own toothbrush to wipe your ass. I basically edged out Rod by my lack of shtein teeth. If I take a night school class, could you bump me up to a 60?

I guess I just can't fathom the fact that I am the absolute worst player rated out of the entire NFL. farg, man, there are some zesty guys out there. Amongst everyone, I was rated the absolute worst.

I have received the impression that you feel that I am lacking in the agility category. I should consider a walk through my living room where I don't crash through a wall or kick over furniture a resounding success. My agility rating on your game is 33. It makes it sound like I just topple over if I start walking too fast. Ted Washington is rated a 40 in agility. He is listed at 365 pounds. If Ted Washington tied a white lady up and made her wear a metal bikini, he'd look just like Jabba the Hut.

John, you are such a farging dick. I also noticed that my kick return rating was a 0. I was rated a farging zero? So you feel that I shouldn't even receive a 10, or even a 5? You are pretty much saying that I couldn't even fall forward on a ball kicked in my direction. I would just stand there and let the ball bounce off of my farging face. farg that, John, I returned an onside kick 6 yards in 2002. You should have just slapped a - 4 on me and had the EA staff ambush me with paintball guns.

Finally, I would like to comment on an unlikely topic, my pass coverage ratings. I see that I am a better at man-to-man coverage (31) than zone (21). farg me sideways with a lunchbox. Where did these scores even come from? How much time is spent coming up with the pass coverage ratings of offensive lineman? Can I have that job? Let's see here, I think that Orlando Pace would be slightly better at jumping intermediate routes than Larry Allen. While I'm at it, I can assign the passing ratings for offensive lineman as well. I can use mine as a guide.

I was rated with a throwing power of 17 and accuracy of 16. Orlando Pace has a 22 power and 17 accuracy rating. Did someone at EA really put time into figuring out that Orlando Pace edges out Ethan Albright in both throwing power and accuracy? I will challenge him any day. My horrible passer ratings are of greatest misfortune to my son, Red Beard Jr. The poor boy is not only hideously ugly and covered by freakishly large freckles. He also has to suffer through playing catch with me and my senile-elderly-woman-type passer ratings. A session of tossing the pigskin usually consists of me missing my son by thirty yards in sporadic directions. I led him in front of a fire truck once and my wife kicked my ass. This is because of my 76 toughness rating. Yes, a 76 is far better than the other ratings, but I'm a farging lineman, damn it. NFL Linemen are considered to be synonymous with toughness. According to your game, I am a retarded, uncoordinated, Hoyda-ass fargwad that can't fall on a kickoff, throw, or spell. I am, however, slightly better at manning up on a receiver than dropping into zone coverage. You lose your mind more and more each year, old man.

farg you, John. Please expect to find red pubes in various meals you consume for the rest of your life. If you farg with Ethan Albright, you call down the thunder.

Rot in Hell,

Ethan Albright
