Marshawn

I feel like Jamal Lewis fizzled out fast. Was on a HOF track until he blew his ACL that second time.
And it has to be mentioned, 500 of Jamal's yards in that 2k season came against a pathetic Browns team.

Plus Jamal got stuffed in the redzone way more often than he should have been. Marshawn's vision, agility, and explosiveness>

And a factor in their stats being so similar is Marshawn spent 3 1/2 years with mediocre to bad Buffalo teams. Jamal even had a good Browns team around him his first year in Cleveland until they reverted back to form his last two years.

:what:

You think those Ravens and Browns teams Jamal was on were that good?

Aside from the Super Bowl year the Ravens were not very good. And offensively it was basically Jamal by himself.

The D (where it's so cold)
Jamal Lewis was a straight up beast in the early 00's, very underappreciated. His 03 season was ridiculous by running back standards (and their were alot of running backs killing that season), I don't think Marshawn ever had a regular season like that and he had alot of great season and post seasons.

Didn't Jamal spend like a off season in jail and came back with no training camp and was like a top 3 back for the Browns?:heh:
