Jamal Lewis Career: 2120 carries, 28 years old
RB ?????: 2365 carries, 28 years old

From what I saw is that Jamal Lewis was revitalized in Cleveland... again as he does not have to carry the entire load of the offense like in Baltimore.

LT does a good job of shying away from contact, but he still has tons of milage on him and last year his body finally has broken down some. What if it is a sign of more injuries to come? That's not something I'm willing to risk 6500 cbs on.

But we have a difference of opinion and that's what makes the world go round. I just fidn it funny that people call Jamal Lewis old, when he's the same age as LT and actually has fewer mileage on him.
Like you said, it is just a difference of opinion, but LT is a once in a lifetime player to me. In my humble opinion, Lewis is just a good back that doesnt have the skills he once did. I just don't think you can fairly compare them.
