I'm goin with Frank by a hair..

I think Stephen Jackson is a great RB but I just think Frank has that burst and is more elusive then SJAX.

It's close tho cause SJAX was a monster minus the knick knack injuries.

And is it me or has he had the same groin pull for like 3 yrs now?

Frank is more versatile and better blocker IMO. I think he's a smarter player. Jackson in his prime was :whew:

I pick Frank.

I'm a biased 9er fan, though.

:whoa:

Their running styles are different and Fred was still breaking nikkas off 10 years deep into his career.. Or maybe you're talking from an aspect of being overlooked and underrated:ohhh:

Fred Taylor is so underrated..

He had it all..

:to:

Stephen Jackson can catch the ball. I don't know about smarter player either. Both have great RB IQ's and read what's in front of them better than most backs. Nothing "less" about that in Stephen Jackson's play.

Frank is a more craftier runner while Stephen is more of a one step and explosively plant runner.

I was talking in terms of blitz pickup...pre snap reads and such. I think Frank is better at that. Granted, I haven't watched SJax as much as Frank...but perhaps my SF bias is hurting my objectivity here.

:childplease:

When did Stephen show you he's the lesser of the two in this department?
