think Eddie Lacy benefits a little more from having Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb


Maybe you missed where Rodgers and Cobb missed most of last season and lacy was the focal point of opposing defenses every game.

What music? I seemed to own the fact those POS went to AU. But like I said, they're where they belong. The Mcclain pic was only brought up due to the Bama fan bringing arrest records into a thread discussing football.

Gets him the ball more, keeps the score in a position where running the ball is an option

Well, YPC is a good way to cut through some of that thick subjectivity.

Involving RBs. No biggie.Hell I would've pulled out Jimmy Johns, at least he was a RB.

What does it matter? It's as obscure a trolling point as bringing it up in the first place. Since we're talking about relevance, Hill hasn't been arrested since being in the NFL.

Lacy = Hill > Ingram = Blue > Richardson



I really don't know what happened to Richardson. Always thought highly of him.

just watched Jeremy Hill absolutely shred Denver's rush defense (which was 1st or 2nd in the NFL) on Monday Night Football


Hill had one run of 85 yards where he was untouched. Take that out, and he had a Trent Richardson-esque 21 carries for 62 yards for a 2.95 YPC with a crucial fumble. Did he have a great statistical night? Yes. Did he shred Denver's defense? Not really.

Actually he was touched and had to outrun like 4 guys, weaving between them.

But okay, lets take out everyone's long runs I guess

What has Blue done to be considered even close to Ingram? 400 yards and a touchdown in a backup role? Even Mega Bust Richardson had a better rookie season than Blue is having.

Because Blue was a top 5 pick

Considering draft position and how much you're paying them, which would you rather your team have?

Not Blue's fault hes behind a top RB in the league, but I doubt he would be the feature back anywhere else regardless. Trent could take control of that backfield if he could harness all that physical ability he has and take the job.

Forgetting Stevan Ridley.

It'd be (obviously before Ridley's ligament tear.

Lacy=Hill>Ridley>Ingram>Blue>Richardson

I'd put Ingram = Ridley but pretty much agree otherwise. Hill slightly below Lacy, but if he has a full year performance like this year's when he got more carries late then he could surpass Lacy.

Hill doesn't have a downfield threat like Rodgers throwing the ball to further open up running lanes like Lacy does though.

Hill has been the more impressive runner compared to Lacy this season, but Lacy was solid his rookie year too. I think this really depends on how Hill develops. They will both be considered top 10 backs going into next season.

Out of all those RB's, Odell puts them all to shame.

Some of you must not watch much NFL, Ingram turned it around and has had a solid year, even with a suspect OL.

Why would you want to compare to Bama RBs? Why do you care about Bama RBs? If Lacy or Ingram had a 200 yard game, I'm not going to even think about shite like comparing to LSU, Tennessee, or barner RBs because I don't give two shits about their NFL players.
