Oh no! Not another Danny Woodhead thread. He really has become huge topic of discussion among Patriot Fans.
I was comparing the two players myself and they both play similar roles for their team in that they are a threat out of the backfield, and have the lateral quickness to tear through a defense. Tomlinson is a starting RB and Woodhead is more of a 3rd down back, so Tomlinson has obviously gotten more carries so far this season. I don't think this means that LT is more durable. Woodhead is certainly capable of taking more carries but we do have a HOF QB throwing the ball, so it isn't necessary. One could argue that LT is much more powerful but Danny has shown good strength running through tackles. Woodhead also doesn't have a big mouth.
Who do you think is the more talented and valuable player at this point? We can forget about everything the aging Tomlinson has done in his HOF career, and just focus on each player's skills and production in 2010. If you think that they aren't comparable because Woodhead hasn't gotten enough carries then who do you think is more valuable to their team?
It will be interesting to see how many people think Woodhead is the better player in 2010 considering that one of the Jets biggest acquisitions this offseason was LaDainian Tomlinson and Woodhead was the guy who wasn't good enough.
