Jim Taylor was a better running back than Paul Hornung.

There, I said it.

So versatility was not one of your criteria.

Since I was still floating in my Daddy's sack, I'll take your for it. How old are you guys anyway?

I agree, Trippmeister. Taylor was a true RB.
Hornung was more versatile. He could run, pass, kick, do it all.
Taylor only ran the ball. But he was a real load to bring down!

Your title got me excited and brought me into the thread, only to be let down by what it was about haha. JK 😉

Hornung -- pretty boy. Bleh.
Hornung -- Notre Dame. Double bleh.

Taylor -- greatest running back in Packer history.

No contest.

Lets see...assume my best 'old geezer' personna...

Well, see, little buddy, I grew up in a time with no boats, no lights, no motorcars, not a single luxur...oops, channelling the wrong geezer...

Take 2...well, young whippersnapper, I grew up in a time when I had to watch the Packers play TV barefoot, in the snow, up-hi...wait, I'm getting that mixed up with another story...

Try again...Well, son, I grew up in a time with NFL only on 1 network, only on Sundays, no AFL teams merged into the NFL (heck, AFL didn't even exist, either), no internet, no on-line newspapers, no cable TV, no Packershome.com...Aaaaaggghhhh!!! that's enough of that!

Suffice it to say, I grew up in the dark ages...

I was stuck with whatever sports coverage the local TV and newspapers provided. I was a little boy when the ice bowl was played. I was watching it on TV and grabbed my camera on the TD run because I wanted a picture of it to keep in my room. I was shocked when the film (yes, no digital cameras) came back from the developer and the TV looked like it was turned off. Being a kid, I hadn't realized the flash would wash out the picture tube. lol

One could argue that much of both backs success was due to the men lined up in front of them.. so I will break the debate.. they both were overrated.

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty
