Chubb has played against far inferior opponents


To be fair, Vanderbilt has given up 35.5 YPG to teams not called UGA and Chubb ran all over them.

Vanderbilt has a better D than Auburn or MSU



It certainly seems so.

Reasons those numbers aren't the best deciding factors:
-Chubb has shares the ball with 3 other backs.
-that doesn't show their career rushing yards, Chubb has 2015 yards, LF has 14something lets round it to 1500, Chubb also played half a season last year.
-LSU also runs the ball almost every play whereas UGA does about half and half.

Claiming auburn to be the 14th best team in the nation tells me all about the lack of intellect going on inside your head.

LSU's one dimensional offense (although i think it's less one dimensional this year) is a nod to Fournette, not Chubb. If you had to score this point.

Fournette is leading the country in yards per game, bro. Why you comparing raw yards stats when they haven't played the same number of games?

Its a fundamental misuse of the data. Just sayin.


Exactly. Kid is missing a chromosome.

Fournette shares the ball with 3 others backs as well, so your point is invalid

That is why I added the caveat of "I've ever seen in person". I never saw the likes of Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Herschel or Bo.

I probably shouldn't even be so definitive as "he is the best rb I've ever seen" but he definitely put on the most dominant performance I've ever seen in person this past weekend.

Not about stats, more about style points

Only time will tell for Fournette, like I said if he keeps running like he did last week. I don't see how you don't give him the Heisman

So what your saying is that since LF runs almost every play, starts as many games as Chubb, but still has 500 less yards than Chubb makes him better? I'm sorry but I don't see how that makes him better.

They both really share the ball with two other backs, and then Brossette for y'all, and Douglas for us, get more action in mop up duty.

They're both great players. Let's wait until season's end to compare the two or else we're gonna try and make the argument on a week by week basis, when it doesn't make sense to look at things that way.

Let me break it down to you mouthbreather:


Like you said, LSU is completely one dimensional while UGA is extremely balanced. So even though defenses know Leonard is going to run, while Chubb is given the benefit of possibly having a passing play, Chubb is only averaging 0.2 yards more per rush

No that wasnt what i was saying at all. I'm not going to explain it to you a second time though. I can already tell it's not worth my time.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why LSU fans seem to think think that acknowledging that Chubb is a great RB somehow diminishes Fournette.
