Am I alone in thinking that Montee Ball is not a top 10 back this year?
I've seen mock drafts where he's a first round pick. I don't like Montee Ball at all this year and won't take him before the 4th round.

    I like Ball a lot. He was a TD machine in college and should be the featured back in a high powered offense.

    Great answer Ankit! With all the weapons Manning has from his WR & TE, some are gonna be doubled up in coverage, leaving some nice holds for Ball- And or dump a quick pass with him coming out of the backfield...

    Montee Ball has everything set up for him to be a top 10 running back this year... I'm a little bias because I'm a broncos fan but our coaching staff has said this offseason that they want to have an equal amount of run plays as pass plays so Montee will get plenty of opportunity.

    I'm sold on Ball. The only thing keeping him in the backseat last year was pass protection and fumbling issues. It appears he has as far as we've seen solved those. And I think people discount Moreno's talent because of Peyton. He was a former first round pick who hadn't lived up to his potential, but over the past two years he has played well. People forget that he had already begun making a name for himself in 2012. And while I'm sure Peyton had something to do with some of that, Manning was playing nowhere near as well in 2012 as he did this past season. Being beat out for the job by Moreno isn't exactly a knock on Ball's talent. I'm definitely sold that this is the year he emerges as a top tier talent.

    I see Ball doing very well this year. With DT, JT, Welker and Sanders as WRs, I see Peyton changing plays to maximize their offense. Ball will be the beneficiary in those changes.

    You're not alone bro. Just keep an eye on which back protects Peyton, that's the one will start the season.
