Numbers wise, maybe, but Settle IMO is still the best RB App has ever had.

App ran the "I" back then and he was the only option. Everyone is the stadium knew he was going to get the ball and it just didn't matter.

KRich is a very close second and definitely the best pass catching RB I've seen at App.

Cox is pretty special too.

I was at App for the same tiem period as JS. Today will backpeddle and say that IMO he was the best. Despite the level of competition the man was a beast. Great point in that everyone knew he was getting the ball and it didn't matter. If memory serves we were playing traditional under center then and I think we had a pretty awesome home field win percentage (like maybe one or two losses over the whole time period).

I'd put Settle ahead of Richardson as #1 and #2 that I have seen. That is just because Settle was the offense when he was there. Nobody was scared of Todd Payton beating them with his arm. #3 right now, for me, is probably Damon Scott, but Cox will definitely be somewhere in the top 3 by the end of his career if he continues to play as he has so far.
