I really hate the "vs." in this thread title.
They both looked good, but Starks looked better running the ball. He's just so strong.
Nerdmann is convinced that Ryan Grant is bad in pass protection because he hasn't been awarded the third down RB job, but here's the real reason he hasn't won the third down RB job: He is the #1 RB. To move to third down RB would be a demotion for him. He is pretty good in pass protection--always has been. And he looks way better at it than Starks at this point.
However, Starks is younger and has more upside and is in the process of passing Grant up right now as an overall RB, if he hasn't done it already. It would be great to have both of them healthy all season for a nice 1-2 punch.
