Frank Gore Vs. Steven Jackson (Highlights)

Jackson is the best running back in the league... seriously... i like Frank Gore but jackson does more on a s**tty team and if both were given the same line S-Jax would own gore. Its true. If you think Gore is better your just a homer.

By the way, the fact that some of you are fighting so hard for Steven Jackson is sickening. I can imagine going against your own player when the other player in question is undoubtedly better, but that is far from the case here. Gore was the better RB last year, which, until 2010 plays out, is the ONLY year that matters. There is no legitimate excuse for Jackson, as our O-Line was worse at run blocking. Just because he was the Rams' only threat is not an excuse, either. Gore was put on the backburner when we moved to that spread offense (I don't care what Raye wants to call it) less than halfway into the season. The fact that Crabtree and VD emerged as threats shouldn't take away from what Gore is and add to what Jackson is.

I'd take Gore over Jackson any day. That's not being a homer, either. Being a homer would be along the lines of saying you'd take Gore over Chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson (though I do believe Peterson's superb line is highly responsible for his success, his open field ability is undeniable). Johnson joined an elite club in his first year as the full-time starter and Peterson was the best back in the league before that. But Jackson? He is not endeniably better than Gore, and I will agree Gore is not undeniably better than him. It is close. But when it's close and your own player has a strong argument, it makes me sick to see fans go against their own guy. Dispicable.
