re: Richardson hype

I do not understand all the hype the bama fans are putting out in regards to TR. He had a total 700 yrds rushing on the year and only two 100 yrd games. His yards per carry was good, but against good teams he sucked. Ingram was by far the best back on that team.

Maybe a little over a year from now when Richardson is the first back selected in the 2012 draft, you will understand.

And if his yards per carry were excellent, what are you bitching about? He didn't get enough carries to have a huge 1,500 yard season. This is not rocket science.

Look...it's turned into a Bama/Auburn flame thread. Shocking.

Richardson's a good back. Dyer's a good back. Bama fans are going to stand up for Richardson. AU fans are gonna back Dyer.

This thread is going nowhere fast.

This is an interesting thread. After how much some people argued that he was the best RB on the team, and arguing that he was better than Ingram, now we have people arguing that he doesn't deserve the hype he gets. Amazing

So averaging over 5 yards a carry as a Freshman and Sophomore while also being behind a Heisman trophy winner isn't enough?

To be the best running back in the SEC or country, frick no. If you give him the ball 300 times next year and he averages 5-6 ypc then, yeah, his yardage will be good enough but if he gets 200 to 250 carries then no.

He's been a backup to a heisman winner, and has still put up solid numbers, what more could he have possibly done at this point?

---

Then don't act like he is the best back on the fricking team if he's been a backup to the Heisman winner. If you are going to use that excuse, then Ingram shouldn't have carried the ball this year. Ingram was the better back and always was but if you told a Bama fan that, you are just a delusional a-hole.

This thread is about the hype around Richardson. No one is arguing that he has the talent to be a great player, but to date, he hasn't done shite to prove that on the field he is nothing more than above average.

There is no helping you.

So you think that averaging 5 to 6 ypc will make you the best back in the country? You're retarded. Lattimore and Dyer will both be around the 1400 yard mark next year and Davis will be around the 1500 yard mark if Petrino balances his offense to take advantage of Davis. If Trent gets 1200 then he isn't the best running back just because ESPN said he is 3 years ago.

Don't get too excited. Things are gonna be tougher on him next year without the threat of Cam.

But I reckon this is fact since you said so.

Dyer will get good numbers next year since the offense will shift back to what it looked like in 09 more than 10. We will have more of a running back oriented run offense next year with Dyer getting around 20 carries a game and McCalleb getting around 10 a game.

Dyer will hit a big number next year and if the line can gel early and stay healthy he will do well. You have to remember that while we have some tough games, we also have some comically stupid games.

Okay man, you done?
