The first thing I will show you is this:
That picture/graph showed the difference in their careers at that point. There are many similarities in their careers but not in their games. LaMichael is a pure speed-back who uses his speed to evade people, JacQuizz is a scat-back who makes people miss and on the off chance he doesn't he breaks the tackle. There are flaws in this graph including the fact that JacQuizz is 5'5'' and 193lbs well as far as the NFL is concerned. Quizz and LaMichael are linked whether it be until they retire or whether it be forever, but they have been compared so far and I have a feeling it will last a while; Both are Texas born and bred and both go/went to Oregon college/universities, these are some of the similarities but there are not many in their games. The ongoing question though. Who is better? In many minds it's JacQuizz; he has a Barry Sanders talent set, I'm not saying he is close to as good but that he has Barry style assets, his amazing lateral quickness and juke moves (which I will testify are better than anyone ever other than the Lion King himself) his ability to stop on a dime, and his burst, my choice as the greatest burst in the NCAA in the last 3 years. LMJ on the other hand is more of a Ladanian Tomlinson, a speed back with a killer juke, there are many things that will not let us see them compete properly; like Kenjon Barner another offensive threat to take pressure off him and what about Darron Thomas/Masoli or the fact that he has a good offensive line all of these guys take/took pressure off LaMichael. Unlike LaMike, Quizz only has his brother James and Ryan McCants, and his offensive line? Atrocious, if Quizz was in the same position as LaMike, In fact lets pretend he played for Oregon, we're talking about a minimum of 1,500 yards every year in my mind he gains around 1,800 yards in his junior year and goes 1st round in the draft.So maybe LMJ is better right now but if you flipped it JaQuizz would look better. We will never know who is better, If you must... Choose yourself, but we will try to provide you with as much evidence as possible.

Yo this opened my eyes to JacQuizz Rodgers, I knew he was good but I didn't know how good and this helped, I can't wait to see these guys go head to head in the NFL.
Exactly what I was hoping would happen, Quizz is my boy and i can't wait either, first I want to see how the Falcons use him!
