Derrick "mfing" Henry. Capable of crushing you on and off of the field. Still kicking the poo out of LSU fans two months after the actual game. God's work son, well done.

H2, because he has the Trophy. Therefore he is the best player in the world.

I would need to see all three play against the same competition. Watching one carve up Iowa is not the same as watching another carve up an SEC defense.

I'd take Henry but I prefer a bruising RB's that wears down teams and helps out a solid defense with time of possession.

Plus, Bama has got returners and receivers with talent. There's no need for a one guy to do it all. Just don't like the idea of depending on one guy for everything because it leaves your team vulnerable. If that player gets hurt, then who do you turn too? Bama can turn to Jones the returner, Ridley the receiver, or Coker the QB. This is a more complete team in a sport that embodies teamwork. Give me a RB like Henry that adds to the needed depth to compete in the SEC.

With auburns offense, I'd rather have mcaffery I think... I'm not sure Henry's cutback style would be as effective in our offense. LF would be my second choice.

Every running back's body has a certain number of carries and Bama has used up a lot of Henry's.



Henry has averaged 25.6 carries a game this season.

LF7 averaged an even 25.

Henry on this year's team, McCaffery on next year's team.

Fournette's the best running back, but Mccaffrey is the best player in college football. Affects the game as a runner, reciever and as a returner. An all around offensive weapon.

So I'll take Mccaffrey but it's a hard choice over LF7 because he's such a great running back.

Henry's great too but I feel like he's at his best going downhill and isn't as great creating something when there isn't anything there.



probably the best answer this thread will see

LF is my vote.

LF is horribly underutilized by LSU. They could put him in many more playmaking situations but have no imagination. LF would blow up at Stanford with their play calling and schemes.

LF treated like a workhorse at LSU but could be so much more.

I think we have had a few Heisman winners prove this wasn't the case.

McCaffery for sure - especially the way the coaches at Stanford use this young man on special teams, etc. LSU and LF7 could be in same discussion but the Tigers decided not to have Fournette on special teams in 2015. Maybe they will rethink that logic in 2016 - Guice is an exceptional running back as well so the chance to use him and spell Fournette could be deciding factor in 2016. That's as honest as I can be.

LF7, I believe he is more versatile than Henry and like Henry can take the abuse.

McCaffrey is the most versatile of the 3 IMO but I don't think he could take the pounding between the tackles.

Fournette.

I've hated on him before because we've shut him down the last two years, but he's hamstrung by an iffy O-line, unimaginative playcalling and terrible QB play. However, he's a physical freak, and he has a second gear that reminds me of McFadden. Also, with what he brings to the table and how explosive he is when he gets in open space, he's very reminiscent of Reggie Bush.

This discussion is ridiculous. McAffery will never be a running back in the NFL. He'll play slot - maybe wide receiver and he'll be a special teamer running back KOs and punts. He's not a between the tackles runner. He's a space eater and when he plays tough defenses that have fast strong linebackers, corners, and safeties he'll get his arse whacked.
