Dillon was the best runner, Brooks was the better all around player.
This pretty much sums it up for me. And, although people are correct in saying those Dillon teams were devoid of skill position talent, they had a damn good offensive line.
Someone pointed out that Dillon had the rookie rushing record and the NFL rushing record at one time, and that is a very good point.
I guess I still pick Brooks because I remember all that he allowed the offense to do because of his versatility. The so-called "jet" package where both Brooks and Woods were on the field...there were times Brooks would play the lead blocker like a fullback! He would smoke guys in such a manner you would swear he was more than the 205 lbs or whatever he was listed.
If we tend to rank QBs on wins and championships, shouldn't that come in to play just a bit on these two players? Brooks was a huge part of what the Bengals did on offense and they were virtually unstoppable.
