And Malcolm Floyd and Nanee have done what? Both Chambers and Bowe have proven more than either Floyd or Nanee-However the **** you spell his name.

They're just big. That's it.

Jamaal Charles = speed demon who isn't very good at running in-between the tackles and is a liability in pass pro and has fumbling issues.

Sproles = speed demon who isn't very good at running in-between the tackles but isn't a liability in pass pro and is much better at catching passes and in the return game.

Thomas Jones = Workhorse back who can be trusted to hold onto the ball, run between the tackles, catch passes, and help in pass pro.

Mathews = Most complete back out of all 4 of them. Can run inside or outside, can catch passes, can help in pass pro, and is younger than all of them.

Floyd is basically on par with the Chiefs WR's they don't have a 2 though, so Gates basically takes that role. If you factor TE into overall receivers San Diego is slightly better.

For RB this is what I'd say, Jones age plays a part, yet Sproles is just a role player due to size. Matthews has a chance to be the most legit of any of the RB's in the game with his combo of size, speed, etc etc. He can be the most complete back and one of the best in the league.

Charles is the big play guy like Sproles but is more than a role guy...

So I think they're close, San Diego's has potential to be one of the best in the league by the end of the year because they can have a workhorse complimented by speed.

I don't think Thomas Jones blows but I question what he'll do behind this line...I'll give the Chiefs a slight edge going into the game because Charles is proven and Matthews is not. At the end of the year that may look much different.

And for anyone who thinks Rivers is a B you need mental help. Top 5 QB's in the league are A's.

GTFO.

Charles had no issues running between the tackles all over Denver, did he? And Sproles isn't a pass blocking liability?

Are you seriously trying to say that Sproles is a better back than Charles? ROFL

And at age 32, the wheels could fall off at any time, especially since he's now dumped his wife for his stalker (which is why San Diego dumped him last year - he couldn't stay focused).

True dat. But until the wheels fall off the edge has to go to him over Legadu. And until Floyd shows he can be more than a compliment to Jackson and Gates, I'd have to give the edge to Bowe.

But their QB can actually get them the ball.

Jamaal gets his yards off of sweeps and off tackle runs. If he was good between the tackles Thomas Jones would not have been brought in.

Charles isn't a willing blocker, Sproles is. I have seen him sacrifice his body numerous times by cutting a blitzer or DE.

What does that have to do with comparing players?

Don't get me wrong, I like Bowe. But he's basically starting over this year. Last year was a disaster. If he can stay clean and get back on his 2007-2008 pace, I'll be thrilled.

But I'll believe it when I see it.

Furthermore, it's difficult to not categorize Gates as a receiver, especially given that he grabs at least 8 TD's each year and 80 plus catches.

Matthews and Gates might be all Rivers needs to terrorize the Chiefs defense.

Your WR is kind of useless if he never gets the ball.

I think the teams overall receiving games are comparable talent wise it's just that when the years over theirs will have much better production.

:facepalm:

You need to pay closer attention. I see Sproles every Sunday. Trust me, he is not a blocker. Diving at a DE's feet isn't exactly "willing" to take on a block.

Charles isn't willing? You need to pay attention, son. He may not be very good at it, but he's plenty willing.

If I had my choice today of:

1. Charles and Jones
2. Matthews and Sproles

I'd chose number two, hands down.
