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...


You've set the criteria of what is considered adequate for Chubb. Is Fournette not measure against the same expectations? If so, why is that?

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


I'm not downgrading Chubb at all. Again, you've set the criteria for what is a good game, and that was in 2017. The knee injury should not be a factor, at this point.

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?


For the last time I'm going to use the Notre Dame game from 2017 as a measure since Chubb's numbers in that game were good enough for you. Neither the knee nor the ankle were a factor at this point.

So, you can either list Fournette's games or continue to dance around the question. It's up to you.

There's a difference between saying that Chubb had a "good game" by the numbers and stating that he was a non-factor... I'm not sure why you want to make more out of the comment "I disagree with your definition of non-factor" than there is to be made... On the upside, you're giving the people a show...

If we're going to use a single game as a sample size for Chubb, then I see no reason why you need more than the 2 Alabama games and the UF game previously mentioned to reference against... Those were easily the biggest games on your schedule. As I've said previously, UGA's biggest and most important games are ahead of us still...
