Westbrook vs. Tiki

I'm not saying Westbrook is guaranteed to follow the same career path, but here's how his numbers so far match up with the player to whom he's most often compared:

These numbers are almost eerily similar in a lot of places.  Tiki had four outstanding seasons once he hit the spot Westbrook will be in next year, and I think we can all agree that what finally shut Tiki down wasn't an erosion of skills, but simply a desire to move on to the next chapter of his life by doing something meaningful like blabbing locker room secrets on national TV.

Westbrook outperforms Tiki in two areas - he scored more touchdowns, and has more yards per touch. He already has 28 rushing and 24 receiving in 6 years minus 4 games. Tiki had 26 rushing and 7 receiving in his first 6 years. And Westbrook has spent almost his entire career at 5.75 yards per touch or better, while for Tiki, that number was near the ceiling of his accomplishments.
