Nichee 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Trying to settle an argument about who's the faster runner: Tiki Barber or Brandon Jacobs. Can't seem to find official 40 times anywhere. Does anybody know of a site or have a link that would settle this? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Dont let 40 times sway your opinion.....just go ahead and give Tiki the nod here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdswan922 0 Posted June 2, 2006 I know Jacobs' combine time was 4.56, but I think he ran faster at his pro day. Not sure though. As for Tiki, he probably hasn't been timed in years. Who knows though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parkers99 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Brandon is like 8 ft tall and 400 pounds... How could Tiki NOT be faster? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jocstrap 8 Posted June 2, 2006 I think Jacobs was faster at his rookie debut, quicker than a 4.56 - For some reason I'm thinking it was great - I think the guy is surprisingly fast - In a track meet 100 yard dash - Jacobs I could be wrong - definitely not betting the farm on it, but it's a fast speed in the back of my head (not fwp or tatum bell speed though) but still fast - real fast.

Rye & Leaf 0 Posted June 2, 2006 C'mon now, these guys are both fast, but really, do their 40 times really compare to Mad Brad's after he has drank a 12 of the beast? I think not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted June 2, 2006 In a 40 yard dash, Jacobs may well be faster, but quickness is much more important than overall speed for a running back. This is where Tiki destroys him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xenophobe 1 Posted June 2, 2006 Top speed may well be Jacobs. Tiki can get caught from behind at the end of some of his long runs and Jacobs has very good speed for his size. But for most practical purposes, Tiki is a lot faster. He has exceptional excelleration and change of direction where as Jacobs needs to build steam. You don't need access to combine scores to settle this one. You just need to watch football. This one should be pretty obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
