Lets see what Tony thinks about it.

 

[iowajerms]

This is a tough one. Sims' averages are better. Right now, I am picking Dorsett because he does have 4 seasons of 1,000+ yards. 3 seasons of 1,600 yards and a 2,100 yard season with 12 games.

But I am still undecided.

That's because Tony didn't share a Wishbone backfield with 2 other running backs and a running QB on the field on every single play sharing time and touches.

But Sims also played on a far better program. Probably had a lot better OL blocking for him.
