re: Nick Chubb just broke a 90 yard TD run against Steelers

I'd like to take the games you think Fournette didn't perform and compare them to subpar games for Chubb. I'm going to prove to you that he performed better than the the numbers you used for Chubb (against ND) in most of the games he was said to have "choked". At that point you will either admit you were wrong or you will shift the narrative. We shall see.

Also, I'm going to include both Alabama games I just don't need you to list them.

ETA: I'm already including both 2015 & 2016 Alabama games as well as the 2016 Florida game. I need you to tell me what other games you don't think he performed in to earn the rep he has gotten on this board.

When did *I* say that Fournette choked? I said that he was a shell of himself in the important games... That seems pretty accurate as I look back at his numbers by games you just listed...

If you want to downgrade Chubb based on coming back sooner than anyone expected from what could have been a career ending injury, go for it... I'm not sure you'll get much argument on the *numbers* in 2016 though you will fairly receive criticism for attempting to compare a player that wasn't back to 100% from the injury yet... much like your fellow LSU fans are quick to point out on Guice right now, and he's got what? A sprained ankle? (Have only seen reference to a "nagging but undisclosed foot or leg injury".) Oh, that's right, Chubb had a similar nagging ankle injury during 2016 starting in week 4... while LSU fans continued to clog these boards with comparison threads each week... if only your wisdom could have been imparted upon them.

Prior to the injury he went for over 100 yards rushing in 13 straight games, including matchups against 5 ranked teams, including a game during a god damned monsoon against the Alabama team that Fournette managed 54 yards on 26 carries against...

Just to recap and make sure that everyone is on the same page with you here, you'd like to use what games of Chubb's to prove a point? The ones prior to the injury? The ones during 2016 coming off of a devastating knee injury and while dealing with a lingering ankle injury? Or the ones from this season where he is the leading rusher in the conference despite operating out of a full on running back by committee offense... go ahead and tell me which games you'd like to cherry pick to attempt to make a point and then I'll get back to you on which games you can use for Fournette... I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on double standards while you're at it. Should be fun for everyone...

Or, we can wait until there are a few more data points in 2017 so you don't have to do any extrapolating or educated guessing... I know that's a sore spot for you.
