Looks like the two RBs in the OP are being overused. Glad we have depth and the superior RB to boot.

I'm pretty sure you're posting in the wrong thread. This is debating Fournette vs Chubb. Then again, as you're an Alabama fan and your brain is probably only half functional at best, I can understand you posting on the wrong thread.



Yea! Don't use what LSU fans have said for 18 months against them in this thread! That's stupid and clearly you are dumb Cap!

Well, the OP was to one that stated that YPC is the stat that matters. Damien Harris has a 9.1 YPC. Clearly he's better.

Not to mention all the YPC is all that matters conversations we endured in the Henry vs LF7 debates

Ralph Webb has more than 50 carries...and if Damien Harris and Boom Williams get 0 yards on every carry they get till they reach 50 carries, they'd still have more yards per carry...doesn't mean they're better backs, 'cept by your reckoning...

Normally, I think you're a great poster.

However look at the title of the thread. You Alabama posters have a really annoying habit of coming into a thread having jack shite to do with Alabama and tossing your dicks around like the world will end if your team isn't mentioned several times in a thread that had nothing to do with them.

Just stop.

I was also only including players who have a chance to make an impact in the NFL. That's why no Alabama RBs

Sorry - but LSU folks spent 12 months hosing down Derrick Henry for his supposedly mediocre YPC, now someone else (a feature back) has almost double the YPC and it's a stupid argument.

Just laugh and admit your argument that only YPC matter was used because it assisted in your argument then (and now, apparently). Not to mention Chubb has the same argument LF7 did (and was used by LSU fans) against Alabama - his OL can't block anybody.

It's just humorous. Apologies for butting in, continue at peace.

The only argument I made in this entire thread was about the constant need for Alabama fans to constantly validate their team and players (whatever the reason for doing so) as the greatest thing since sliced bread in threads where the intent had nothing to do with their team.

In fewer words, act like you've been there before.

And allow me to elaborate on what I said before about your postings. I do not post much myself, as I like to read. Your topics and post are usually really good and I enjoy seeing an Alabama fan doing exactly what they should... acting like they've been there before. Trolling from time to time is one thing, but some here seem to make it their existence to do only that.

I don't really feel like what is happening in this thread was about validation or talking about Alabama, it was more to point out the absurdity of the cherry picking of stats for the last 18 months by LSU fans and then show (successfully) that when those cherry picked stats show someone else as better that there is automatically a reason that those stats are wrong/inconclusive/not showing the whole picture. It just so happened an Alabama back was the person used to advance that point.

However, you are correct, there was no reason to ambush a perfectly good (well, maybe not good) thread.

Apologies.

Then why did you leave out Ralph Webb and Boom Harris? They're not Bama backs...

Bama had 3 RBs starting in NFL games this past week...do they not count as having a chance to make an impact?

It was a comparison between all NCAA running backs named Leonard Fournette or Nick Chubb. I didn't see anyone by that name on Alabama's roster. Sorry if I missed one of your guys.

Nice, so Damien Harris is the best back in the SEC by far then, right?

Like starting threads comparing their running back to another team's running back?

We suffered through these threads and arguments every week in the off season. Please don't make us go through this during the season, too.
