I think Edge, but it's close. Like Edge has him by about 700 yards or so and about 10-12 TD, but he also had like 500 more carries.

I love Edge (Because Hurricanes, obviously), but if not for injuries, Fred had a shot at top 5 DOA status.

So basically, what @Swagnificent said. Edge produced more, but Fred was more talented.

I watched a lot more colts than Jaguars game so I'm taking edge, I felt like Fred was always injured he was a beast in 2k1 though, the whole jags team was pretty unfair in the game but they never did nothing in real life besides that 14-2 year
That knee injury slowed edge down a lot but he we still a great back

Edge forward lean was the GOAT. You had to go through his upper body in order to get to his legs, that's how much he ran with forward lean.

My Pop Warner ccoach (RIP) used to stress that to us at RB, "FOWARD LEAN!! FOWARD LEAN!!"

I'm gonna say Edgerrin James.
But Fred Taylor was one hell of a RB.

It's just so hard to have a good career when you played on those Jacksonville teams.

I'll still believe forever that if Willis McGahee never got hurt, he would have been special. Maybe better than both.

The Yay
its closer than many would think because of edge's injuries. but then taylor had his injuries too
but still, edge.
taylor probably a bit better of a pure runner. edge had a lot of edge on him in passing game.
