Not really. Free is better in the pass IMO. Parnell is a better run blocker. Parnell can keep Free on the bench if he steps up.
I don't know that Parnell is better as a run blocker. They are different though. Parnell is more of a guy that can dominate a guy and pancake him with his physical ability. Free is technically sound as a run blocker, does more with his technique and while he isn't overpowering, he can really get the job done in the run game. As pass blockers Free is more consistent and has the vet tricks of the trade at his disposal while Parnell is still trying to learn.
If you want the best, most consistent guy out there, Free is the man. Parnell is the guy that still has upside with playing time. Gonna be interesting to see what happens the next few weeks. Both guys are playing for a contract.
