Jamaal who?
https://www.facebook.com/NFL/videos/10154158103021263/
As good as JC is he'll never be as great as Priest Priest rushing yards per game nearly equals JCs TOTAL yards per game. If you add in Priests receiving he destroys JC in total yards per game. TDs sorry Priest. I'll take Priest over JC any day. He's just more complete as a back then JC |

I don't think that Priest did have the edge in patience.
A runner's patience requires confidence in the line's ability to create holes. Priest could afford that patience. Jamaal, his entire career, has had to hit the first seam that he sees. One of the things I loved about the pick when the Chiefs selected him was the patience he displayed running behind a good line at Texas. Quote:
Jamaal's hands aren't nearly as reliable.

Priest had 2 HOF and one perennial pro bowler on the OL blocking for him. Jamaal had had crap lines, although I think they are finally getting good

If there was one thing, besides durability, that would have put Priest in the pantheon of the all-time greats, it would have been nice if he had something approaching Marshall Faulk's spin move. Faulk's spin move was so compact and fast, I don't know if we've seen anything like it. Priest could have really made hay employing such a move against the second wave of defenders after that mammoth O-line cleared out the first wave. It would have been Bo Jackson Tecmo week in week out.

Wish we could have that O-line back. I miss that.

Priest struck football lottery gold with that line.

Willie Roaf was the best player I have ever seen at any position.

Very few people have the football IQ to understand how much this statement could be argued.

Had he not suffered a litany of injuries he'd be remembered as the best LT in history...

If my research is correct Charles has only played 1 season with a QB who's QBR was in the top 10.
His line has been piss ****ing poor most of his career. Despite that he's top 5 in YPC in NFL HISTORY. 15 players with a worse YPC average are in the HOF. Just a thought...

Honestly, both Priest Holmes and Jamaal Charles put up great regular season stats, but they prove that having a franchise RB is overrated since the Chiefs didn't win shit with either RB.
Meanwhile the Patriots have won four Super Bowls during the past 15 years with a rotating cast of mostly nondescript RB's. |

It also helped that they've had an all time great qb. So yeah, if we can find one of those laying around, let's do that. |

Look at recent Super Bowl winners and only Seattle with Marshawn Lynch had a franchise-type RB that was the focal point of their offense. |

It also proves that you need a solid QB to win...
