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

You set this standard by saying his game against ND was not a poor one

You said he was a non-factor. I disagreed... it's not as though there isn't a world of grey in between those things... Not my job to help you understand that.

Which games was Fournette a "shell of himself" then? Only 2015 Alabama? By the measure you're giving Chubb you can't include Arkansas, Ole Miss or Texas AM from that year. He, at minimum, matched what Chubb did against Notre Dame this year in each of those games.

---

You're electing to take Chubb's current worst performance and would like to discount Fournette's... If you want to compare Chubb's second worst performance to Fournette's and so on and so forth, by all means... selecting the biggest outlier and then comparing it to something that is less so seems intentionally obtuse. What you're essentially admitting is that Chubb's floor in 2017 is higher than Fournette's was up to this point with that argument. If you agree with that, then there is no need to "evaluate" further.

What I don't understand is why it's happening from someone who tries to pretend like they're objective. I can say I don't understand that in the least.

Have I "shite on Guice" in this thread? To my knowledge I haven't attempted to do so. Did I take the opportunity to give you a little shite as you were so apt to do to others in the thread? Abso-fricking-lutely...

Dude, you entered this discussion by attacking me for posting Jalen Hurts rather than Jalen Hurd, and for believing what Leonard Fournette said over the narrative that has been created on the SECR.

---

So pointing out a mistake and giving you a hard time for the irony of you expecting people to use common sense and extrapolate *while* you then told another poster that we should not extrapolate to make a point was attacking? It was humorous... sorry you didn't see it that way.

believing what Leonard Fournette said

What Leonard Fournette said once the season had passed vs what was said at the time of the announcement that he wouldn't play? The narrative clearly shifted a couple of months later. If he couldn't go, he couldn't go, but it sure seems like they could have saved a ton of face if they just said he wasn't going to be medically cleared to play in the bowl game. If that was the official announcement, it certainly wasn't made very clear prior to the bowl game from what I had seen...

address what I'm trying to discuss... you continue to dance around the question

See above... If you want we can use Fournette's floor and compare Chubb's games, in which case he's never had a bad game where he wasn't injured... I too can play facetious games where I attempt to prove something with stats. How about we wait until the season plays out and we'll actually be able to see how Chubb performs in critical games.
