I never brought up numbers, but okay...Tiki's got 10,448 yards and 55 TDs in 10 seasons. Tomlinson has 9,176 yards and 100 TDs in his first 6 seasons. I said Tiki was average for most of his career before Coughlin. His Pro Bowl years only came at the end. Over the course of their careers, right now Tomlinson is the better back. Look, I've been a Giants fan all my life and Tiki is the best back in their history. But to be fresh into retirement and act like this is unnecessary.
