Quote:You're entitled to your opinion. I too have seen almost every game they've both played, and MJD is at least on par with Fred on the ground.

 

An argument could be made either way.

When you say that, I immediately think of this:

Like I said, you're entitled to your opinions, but as far as the position of running back goes, with all it entails, I'll take MJD who had a knack for landing in the endzone.

Fred wouldn't have been caught from behind...  He was a physical freak of nature.  Nobody his size and with his power should be able to run as fast as him, and he certainly shouldn't have had the lateral quickness to go with it.

 

Mojo definitely had a nose for the endzone, but Fred's biggest roadblock to the goal-line was always Coughlin.  So many times I saw Fred earn a TD for this team only for Coughlin to pull him for a "short-yardage back" when we got close to the end-zone.  Irritated me to no end considering our short-yardage backs were never better than Taylor in short-yardage situations.  Cost him lots of TD's, and probably Pro-Bowls, and possibly even a shot at the HOF.
