I guess Joe's a lil more versatile, but Rudi would break off long TD runs, trucked some of the all time great defenders, and made Corey f'n Dillon expendable (let that last one sink in).
Rudi was effective within his own skillset, but he added absolutely nothing in the passing game. I think it's hard to say. Even Rudi's capacity for long runs was blunted after 2003. He was extremely consistent (1300+ and 12 TDs three straight seasons), but also very low in variance (so his ceiling wasn't sky high).
