lindsay is clearly the better runner, and it's not close. . .
gordon - 82 carries, 349 yards (4.3 YPC), 3 fumbles
lindsay - 39 carries, 204 yards (5.3 YPC), 0 fumbles
those numbers accurately mirror their career YPC numbers, so they're not a mirage-- lindsay is a full yard per carry better, always has been-- and he has zero career fumbles, compared to 17 (!!) for gordon. . . turnovers matter in this league-- a lot. . . those are gamechanging plays. . . also, lindsay scored 16 rushing TDs his first two years in the league-- he is quite productive in that regard in his own right. . . but sure, gordon is going to get most of the TDs if he's given all of the goal line work. . . that's fine-- doesn't mean lindsay can't do it, though. . . he's plenty effective between the tackles, with his vision and short area burst. . . gordon IS the better blocker, i'll give you that. . . but factor in turnovers, plus how much they're getting paid, and phil is VASTLY more productive, dollar for dollar and pound for pound. . . gordon is an overpaid hack, who should carry lindsay's pads after practice until he learns to hold onto the effin' football. . .
- John Elway“When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
The Broncos don’t even emphasize the same run plays for both RB’s, you guys are looking at this as though it’s Lindsay OR MGIII. They emphasize inside zone with MGIII and attack the edge of the defense with Lindsay, that’s why they signed MGIII, they’re playing to each RB’s strengths.
This is why MGIII is the better RB; Lindsay is apparently better at attacking the edge of the defense, MGIII is better at everything else.
As usual, stats lack context, even your sweet sweet PFF .

Then you sallys need to quite cherry picking stats. Now going to career numbers.
You all keep dodging around TDS This year. I know it totally annihilates everything you are arguing against but why argue? Gordon is scoring TDs for the broncos. The only one. Doing something ALL of you have bitched about this year, and last, and the year before that.
Here is the story for this year:
Gordon Fumbles
Gordon also scores TDs
Lindsay Runs
Lindsay does not score TDs
Lindsay gets hurt
Also just a fun fact. Gordon has had to run against the titans, Steel and Bucs- Top running defenses. Lindsay got the lowly chefs and pats.
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
And before you say it. They both played against the titans and Gordon was the better runner that entire game, up to the point of lindsay being hurt and after. He also scored when lindsay could not.
And one more thing, if we are arguing how great lindsay is and even have the convo that melvin is there with him then mel must not be all that bad.

I’m not “cherrying” anything. Lindsay has four FOUR carries in the red zone. You cannot make a definitive judgment of anything on four carries. Doing so — i.e. what you’re doing — is cherry picking. That’s the definition of it. So, I, in order to provide some context to a small sample size, applied their career red zone record to get a fuller picture of their abilities.
You’re welcome.
