Mark H. Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 For me - Andrew Harris. Roberts is a more explosive runner, but Harris is more explosive as a receiver and better in pass pro. Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Roberts was the better talent, I would love to see what he would do with this offensive line... but Harris is way more of a professional and that matters.

Arnold_Palmer Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 With our offense I think Harris is just so much more valuable because of him being so good catching out of the back field, and obviously he's a good blocker, but Roberts running the football was just special. The fact that he has over 1600 yards rushing with no offensive line, and Tee Martin as his starting QB in 2005 is amazing. WildPath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy 1 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Harris ,hand down. I'll never forget how gassed he was in the Cup against Sask after he and Tom Canada partied till the wee hours. Plus Harris is a way better blocker. Mark H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 They're different backs....I think I'd rather have Harris because he's more of a man. A pro's pro...and like Dave says, that matters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 They do it in different ways but Harris receiver skills put him ahead of Blink. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'd take Roberts over Flanders... Noeller, Atomic and JCon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueandgold Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I’m going to say Roberts although I still haven’t forgiven for his conduct prior to the 2007 Grey Cup. sweep the leg, Noeller, blue_gold_84 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolby Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Roberts was a better back at running the ball, no competition, but the fact Harris is excellent at catching and blocking gives him the edge over blink.

Blueandgold Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I’ll also add that Roberts was a better compliment to A Milt Stegall and Khari Jones offense but Andrew Harris is the better fit for a Matt Nichols O. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Roberts was unreal but he could not carry a team the way Harris does... almost no one can. There have been times this season where the bombers have lost momentum and Harris steps in and basically wills a first down... Roberts would have gone for a smoke.

rebusrankin Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I feel the need to mention that Roberts was a pretty good pass catcher and that he did have four straight seasons over 1500 yards rushing playing behind some terrible offensive lines. I think we're underrating him. TBURGESS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Oh and imagine Khari and Milt playing behind this offensive line with Andrew Harris. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Not sure Mike would want Charlie on his team. just heard him on the coach's show. It's all about the team with Mike. No room for anybody that doesn't put the team first. Not sure Charlie was always team first. Charlie is one of my all time favourites, but I'd rather have Andrew on this team. But It's a good question James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Roberts was one of the best RBs in league history. I don’t even consider these two on the same playing field. aalgernon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALuCsRED Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Roberts is old and lost a step. Andrew Harris #ForTheW What about Willard Reaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish or Harris. That's a more interesting comparison, imo. Edited October 3, 2017 by Judd Arnold_Palmer and Jesse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold_Palmer Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think some people are forgetting how good Charles Roberts really was.. When he retired he was regarded as one of the best running backs in the history of the CFL. I appreciate Harris for everything he does for this team but Roberts was something special.

17to85 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think some of you are forgetting how good Roberts was... He was a great pass catching back too and he didput in effort blocking when asked. The only major plus for Harris is his attitude. Harris is good and a Canadian, but Roberts was better.

Jpan85 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Harris is doing this at the age of 30 Charles Roberts had been out of football for 2 years by the time he was 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
