You have just spread the ball around so much that you don't have a single back with enough touches to have a chance yet at this list. As the level of competition increases, I imagine the touches won't be distributed as broadly.

Nasty list of RB's.

I know you catch shite for where you rank guys every week. This is just your opinion and 95% of the bitching is usually ridiculous. But, Henry being 4th on that list is a joke.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

He's 2nd in rushing yards in the SEC, 3rd in ypc(7.8). I believe he's also tied for 1st in the country with 6 TDs, half of them being from 28 yards or further(farther? Hell idk). IMO, 4th is a bit ridiculous.

He is 6th in yards from scrimmage per game and 5th in total yards from scrimmage for running backs and has been less efficient than Boom Williams. That is why Boom got the nod.

Nice work.

The weight you're putting on some of this is baffling to me. 30% of Boom's yards are from 1 run. The reason he has such a high YPC is largely because of one run, which, is completely fine. I find it odd that you value that over 6 TDs, but it's not that big of a deal. Your criteria for putting Boom over Henry makes LF being 2nd pretty ridiculous, though.

Chubb and LF7 1a and 1b at this point. Impossible to say at this point which one is better.

Often one or two stats make the difference in a close call between 2 backs, but it isn't always the same stat for every comparison. Between Henry and Boom, efficiency was the difference because the other stats were very similar, with Boom slightly ahead in yards and yards per game.

Between LF and the others, ypg was a difference maker because the difference was substantial. Chubb got the nod over LF because his ypg were just as good (slightly better) in 2 games, which is harder to do than in just one game.
One could certainly make a reasonable argument for Henry above Boom and even LF, but the arguments for those guys ahead of Henry are just as reasonable and slightly stronger in the committee's view

Not only has LF only done it in 1 game, he got 28 carries. With the criteria that you yourself have put on the ranking, I think it's crazy how you bounce around to different shite in order to make the list. Having Boom over Henry automatically makes LF not eligible for 2nd on the list.

I don't understand this argument. Does Boom's run not count because it was long? He was one of three players in the country last season (Chubb, Ezekiel Elliot) to have 3 or more TD runs of 50+ yards. The odds are that he will have a few more long TD runs this season.
Boom's game is in space because he is speedy and elusive (5'9 196 lbs) and Kentucky is a spread team.
Inside the 5, Kentucky is generally going to line up Mikel Horton (6'1 226) or (if, like last night, Mikel is injured) Jojo Kemp (5'10 200) because those are UK's more physical backs. Kentucky's QB is 6'5 245 lbs, so you'll see him run some short yardage stuff close to the goal line.

Efficiency stats matter, but at some point, being a work horse has value over breaking off 1 or 2 big runs. That is why trying to get it to one stat is not productive.
You look at the whole and then one or two stats often become the difference makers in a particular comparison.

You're so butthurt about Fournette being above Henry.
Quit being such a twat.

Derrick Henry 31 rushes 243 yards 7.8 per carry 6 TD's
Fournette 28 rushes 159 yards 5.6 yards per carry 3 TD's
Fournette #2 Henry #4...sounds legit
