Amhad Bradshaw
I hate comparing players to each other, but i cant help but to see alot of similarities in their running style. I know Bradshaw doesnt catch alot of passes, but i wonder how much of that is due to the teams QB's. Either way, i would say it is safe to say that Rice is the better pass catcher. Other than that and durability, these two are almost clones. They are both small, but run with good power. Both have good vision, quickness and run small. Both players are also 23 years old.
The biggest difference between the two might be their current dynasty value. I am thinking if you want to get Ray Rice, without paying a Ray Rice price(I knew i could work this in somehow)than Bradshaw might be your guy.
Below is Rices' 2009 season and Bradshaws' career statistics.
Rice - 254 carries, 1339 yards, 5.3 YPC, 7 TD, 78 rec, 702, 9,0 YPC, 1 TD
Bradshaw - 253 carries, 1323 yards, 5.2 YPC, 9 TD, 28 rec, 207, 9.9 YPC, 1 TD
Obviously Rice catches more passes, but like i said above, that might not be the case in the future as Flacco matures as a QB, and actually gets some decent WR's.
Assuming Bradshaw can stay healthy, i think there is a pretty good chance he relegates Jacobs to a Mcgahee type roll in the Giants offense. At this point, i think Jacobs would be lucky to get that, based on his play last year.
Right now, Bradshaw is a great buy low candidate, especially if the Giants do not add another RB in the early part of the draft or via free agency.

Bradshaw runs too hard , looks for and actively seeks out contact , while Rice is more fluid,more graceful, more elusive, and much,much better hands..
