But Jamaal Charles vs. Gore? Yeah, that's a pretty big margin, IMO. You're talking about the guy who came into this season as the NFL leader in YPC - career. A guy who ran for 1500 yards a year ago when everyone knew he was the only thing that could potentially hurt them.
Gore is a good NFL back, but he's not in that territory.

Charles ran for 1500 yards and Gore ran for 1200. Then you had Kendall Hunter who was averaging something like 5.2 yards a carry also as the back up. I don't know who the KC back up was last season nor how much he touched the field to rest Charles. I assume he did some? So while Frank is certainly a step behind Jamaal...I'm sure some ground was made up in the running game in general when they rested the backs. What also doesn't show statiscally is how good a blocker Gore is in the passing game. Not to take away from Charles here..he's good..very good...but Gore is better...in fact, I think he's the best in the NFL.
I meant Vd as Elite not Delanie...although I'd say Delanie would be a solid step up from any TE currently on the KC roster...and I'd still argue that having either one of them on the field opens things up that aren't possible with the current KC roster.
I think I can see now why we are having our disagreement now. If I felt the same way about this roster being basically equal to what he had in SF, I'd probably be saying the exact same thing. But I don't...especially when we get back to the OL.
