I think Foster's a better back than Griffin, nothing to do with stats, just having watched them play. I like Foster's size/speed combo. He better not have more yards than Griffin though, we're playing at home and they have an O-line that hasn't worked together much having to deal with the noise at Arrowhead.
Also... don't forget Foster played very well in the playoffs last year. He rushed 21 times-95 yards against the Rams, 14 rushes, 60 yds against the Eagles, and 3 carries, 43 yds against the Pats in the Super Bowl.

Griffin started 2 games last year. In one of those starts he rushed for 136 yards and a 4.9 average. He had proven on AT LEAST one occasion that he could actually perform in a situation where he was the #1 starter.
Foster hasn't. I agree, he looks very good on the field. But he's not facing fresh defenses. He's facing guys that have already been subject to Stephen Davis.
