Eddie George is not OLD... he's 30, not exactly young, but he's got a good 3-4 years left in his legs. He's not like Anthony Thomas, because when he's on the field, the guy is a gladiator, last week against the ravens was a sight to see.
I also think he's better than Train because he can catch the ball outta the backfield, something Thomas only dreams about. I think it was Jerry Angelo who called anthony Thomas "not a special player." Harsh words... but I think it's hard to not agree with em.
Im not saying Eddie George is the end all be all... But I do think he offers certain skills that no other running back on our roster can claim to have.
