Tough Choice

well let's see. Tikis average was much better.
Also, Tiki played only 10 seasons and George played just 9, so both had successful but short-lived careers.

Another thing, Tiki was much more dominant receiving wise. Tiki has over 5k receiving yards and 12 TDs, George just 2200 receiving yards and 10 TDs.

I's say Tiki.

This one is tough, when I first startyed watching football, my team was the Titans so I was a huge fan of Eddie George, but as a NYG fan, Tiki was my man...

But Im gonna have to go with Eddie, Tiki got better as he got older but George remained at pro bowl level for years.

I disagree, Tiki was always good through his starting years, but his first 3 or 4 seasons he was a back-up and a returner. Once he got his opportunity he jumped off to a great start immediately.

Tiki became a great player when he changed the way he held the ball and when he stopped getting the ball stripped, something he didnt change until about 3 years before he retired.. thus the Pro-Bowl selections.

Thats the main reason why I picked George, he played at a certain level for more then just the last 3-4 years of his career.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

good point, but I just love a RB who can be a great threat with catching the ball, really adds a whole new element and makes them so much more dangerous, and Tiki did it very well most of his career, adding that extra tool and becoming a bigger thread when he goes out for a pass.

I have to go with Tiki as well because he single handedly put us in the playoffs in 2005 I believe and like GMF said Tiki was a great receiver as well. 400 receptions and 10,000 yards is just beastly.

Tiki. Missed the first four years of his career as a back up. Imagine his stats if he wasn't a backup. He's got a higher YPC than George, more yards and less attempts. Eddie has him in touchdowns because Tiki isn't a redzone back.

 

[dez]

He was a backup because he couldnt protect the ball, so he didnt "miss" 4 years.
