And...?

This isn't about how many star ratings you have, it's about the best. Gurley is clearly the best in the league, if not America. Keith Marshall would start for probably 100 other college football teams. Those guys have proven that they are legit, proven RBs. And if you're so enamored with potential on the bench, we also have 2 other five stars coming in this year in Michel and Chubb.




Gurley > Yeldon >/= Drake > Marshall

Henry still isn't fully proven.

Henry might be the best of them all...and if he is Heisman-good, this position ranking could be accurate. However, is that a BIT of a reach at this point considering no one really has a clue what Henry can do? Yeldon is an upper-tier back...but unless he has some kind of Julio Jones breakout season, I don't think anyone outside of Daphne or Tuscaloosa would argue that he is a GREAT back. I would have said the same thing about Tre Mason btw, so this could be Yeldon's year like Mason's was last year. But not yet. And Drake is a great change of pace back...but couldn't be the feature back in most offenses. So WHAT THE frick ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? If it's the best RB group in the SEC (it's not), it is only by default...but it's also the best in the country? And the best of any position group in the country?

Hell, I'd put Auburn's OL over Bama's RB's....and wouldn't presume that Auburn has the best OL in the country, let alone the best regardless of position group. This is some dumb shite right here.
