For example, Jack Youngblood has to be very high on any list of ‘favorite’ Ram players, including mine. But was he ever really a better player than AD?
Not really. Even Deacon Jones in his heyday probably has to take a back seat to the freakish AD, don’t you think?
Not hardly. No one took a back seat to Deacon Jones.
Like Donald, he was double and triple teamed back when chop blocking was legal.
You are preaching to the choir about Deacon, Dog. What a player he was! The word freakish applies to him, as well.
But he thrived when opponents just weren’t prepared for him, you know? Plus he benefited by playing on some All World DL’s.
AD is operating in an age of sophisticated coaching where opponents can scheme to try to take him out. And AD has never enjoyed a Fearsome Foursome caliber of teammates to take pressure off.
Look, this is like debating Dickerson vs Faulk as best Ram RB. There is no ‘wrong’ answer.
