This will put it into perspective.... and I'm going with Hearst and Gurley tied at #2. I also agree Chubb will end up being a better running back before it's all said and done, not a band wagon jumper, said it after the Clemson game. He just looks a step faster to me and a little sharper on his cuts. When he figures out what he is doing....look out. Regardless we are in good shape for a few years at rb with he and Sony back there.

Chubb is going to have to improve a lot before he even comes close to Gurley. Gurley is a once in a generation talent. The announcers were awful this past weekend, but they said that Chubb has been hit at the line of scrimmage in something like 48% of his carries, while Gurley has been hit somewhere in the 20s. The offensive lines are the same, so what is the difference? Thats Gurley's immaculate vision. Chubb is a dang good back, and will improve, but when you watch him, as soon as he gets the ball, he runs full speed to the point to where the play is called. It doesnt matter if a defender is there or not. He is still going towards where the play is called. Gurley on the other hand, is much more patient. You see Gurley run the ball, and a lot of times he isnt touched for 5 yards. Thats because he waits to see the play develop, and uses his great vision and agility to cut to where the hole is. A dive might be called to the left side, but Gurley is so patient, he sees the defense, and if a hole isnt there, he cuts back to where to hole is, and gets yards that most backs dont get. Thats the difference in Gurley averaging over 8 yards a carry, and Chubb averaging 5.
