    It's hard to compare them because lets face it, Westbrook can't do what Corey does and Corey can't do what Westbrook does.

    Westbrook is probably the best receiving back currently in football (probably a little better then steven jackson), but he's not a hard nose runner. He can't bang in between the tackles.

    Corey is probably one of the best hard nose runners and even though he's lost a step he's still better at pounding the rock the Westbrook. Corey also has the best stiff arm since Jim Brown himself.

    When all is said and done I think Corey is a tad better because he can fill the traditional roll better the Westbrook and he can also catch decently.

    Right now? Westbrook since he's younger. But both at their prime? Dillon...and I say that only because he was able to stay on the field. Last year was Westbrook's first healthy, productive year. Let's see if he can get consistent with that before making him a top-tier RB.

    OK, it is 4th and goal one the one. Your O line has not been dominating. Your team is down by 5 and there is 4 seconds left. The Earth knows you will run.

    Dillon or Westbrook?

    I'd go with Dillon.

    For everyone that said receiving is Westbrook's forte, I'm sorry McNabb never had good receivers. I assume running backs need to, um, run.:)

    Corey Dillion. The Patriots are holding the real him back he just needs a different team to run with.

    Westbrook. He's a complete back, still playing at a very high level, and coming off a season where he stayed pretty healthy.

    Dillon's pretty much broken down at this point. I can only assume Laurence Maroney will get most of the carries next year.

    As of this season and over that duration of Westbrook's career, Brian is the better RB. He is also a much better at receiving.

    Dillon: 2618carries-11241yds-82TD

    244rec-1913yds-7TD

    Westbrook: 736carries-3452yds-20TD
