I can and I did.
I think the line's effect on JC is overblown. Part of why Priest was so good behind that line was because he was patient, like Lev Bell. JC wasn't that kind of runner and while that line was all-world, I'm not sure it makes that much difference. JC was a crease runner, bigger holes weren't going to make him a better back. |

Having said that I voted Priest. Watching him work thru the line was a thing of beauty. I think he suffers from recency bias. |

Priest, because he never fumbled or got hurt in crucial moments nachos notwithstanding.

I remember Charles fumbling in a lot of crucial situations, and the Denver game we had won and he fumbled twice in the last few minutes. Actually rewatching that game there were many gaffes, we were playing catch up the entire game. We were down 2 TD's most of the game and obviously had our Defense gotten 1 stop it would have been much closer at the end. We got the ball back with 8 seconds left on our own 30. We missed a FG and probably should have went for the 1st down/TD along with Priests long run and gang tackle fumble and Tony G's bullshit PI penalty that cost us a TD. I think they had 1 penalty against them in that game.

I'm more interested in Harvey "Bobblehead" Williams vs. Greg "The Real Deal" Hill. And for the love of God, have you not considered Jesse Haynes vs. Brian Shay? What the "F" people?

I think that Priest's style would have worked behind Jamaal's line, but I agree with htismaqe that Charles would not have had a huge increase in performance behind the Roaf, Waters, and Shields offensive line. But Charles had the unfortunate luck of playing under Herm Edwards, Todd Haley, and Romeo Crennel, all before he could benefit from playing for an offensive minded coach. But what Priest did running the football, catching the football, and his absolute gift for finding the end zone, are the reasons why I vote for Holmes. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk |

I loved watching Priest but Charles was much better. Hell, Charles is a HoF if he could have remained healthy.
Priest had one of the best lines in NFL history. Charles ran behind absolute shit for lines. If Charles had that line he may have averaged 7+ ypc. |

Jamaal put up great numbers behind a below average OL.
