Reseeding the RB Tourney.

 

[Clayton]

Peterson was the better runner.

Allen probably had the better career.

One of the rare matchups where I can comment on both running backs with a high level of certainty.

 

[Clayton]

I think this might be the rare instance where if you had both player switch eras, they might've both had better careers.

 

[tducey]

Went with Peterson.

 

[iowajerms]

Still fairly close.

 

[Nosferatu]

This is completely ridiculous. Marcus Allen is probably the most overrated running back of all time.


Allen should not even be mentioned in the same conversation as AD yet he beat him here, lolzzz
