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).

Talent wise there is no comparison, Mixon is ten times as talented as Rudi, but it doesn't matter if Mixon isn't hitting 
the hole. That is where Rudi was always just dependable, one of our best RB's but not even close to as versatile as 
Mixon, not just a lil' lol

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).

True, I would take Mixon over Rudi for that very reason, way more versatile. Rudi was a tough sumbitch though.

Curtis Martin was the only reason why I liked the Jets at all. Damn good RB and very underrated.

Nationally that is, of course Bengal fans remember their greatness. 

No doubt Go Cards. Before my time but I definitely looked him up, great speed and hands, one of the best ever.

Kenny was so accurate as well, one of the best QB's ever.
