Larry Johnson's better, no doubt in my mind. You don't need to even bring up the stats.

LJ is the greatest RB in the history of the game.

Jealousy is such an ugly emotion.

Seriously, I'm not jealous... granted, I do wish the Denver RBs would have produced last week. I posted my comment b/c of the LJ Love Fest the last few days. He deserves loads of props, but the LJ vs Holmes comments I've seen in other threads is kind of humorous. KC is rocking with their duo.

I would take Johnson over a pair of siamese twin McGahees.*

*Even if the league assumed that they only counted as one player on the starting 11.
