Vic, why do you think Mo and Fred are better than Rocky and Franco? I do not understand how you can compare them. Thanks for the column.
Mo and Fred were complementary backs, just as Eddie Lacy and James Starks are complementary backs. It means they are each feature backs when they are in the game, but they are nearly never in the game at the same time. Franco and Rocky played together in the same backfield. One was the feature back and the other was the main blocker, as were Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung.
