Tell me you're joking

Richardson. I get we all love Lattimore, but the injuries bring him down.

eta: This is if we're going by college dominance/perception. Richardson wasn't the best "RB", but the best player at the RB position.

I'm actually going to agree with you here though it's not a popular opinion. In college, Ingram was amazing. People are so soon to forget.

Not as physically gifted as most of the others, but the better overall back IMO. He ran hard.

I would put Lacy and Hill right behind him. Richardson didn't have great vision even in college. He took a lot of hits he shouldn't have.

Latt was too hurt. Hard question.

You can make the counter argument that Richardson's advantage in his O-line discounts him.

Everyone will have their own opinion, but if you had to pick one player to be the biggest reason that SCar finally made the jump from a consistent 7-8 win program to a consistent 10-11 win program, it has to be Lattimore. Not only from his performance as a RB (which I still rank him top 2, Gurley is better), but also from the attitude he brought to the team as well what he did recruiting.

Ingram is way underrated by those on this board as is Eddie Lacy.

On the other hand, even though he was a great back, TRich is overrated by this board.

Ingram was the best, most complete back Bama has had under Saban IMO.

Newton
Mason
Dyer
Lattimore
Gurley
Tate
Hill
Richardson
Davis
Crowell
Dixon

Ingram

Lattimore. It is a shame he did not get a chance to play his complete career at USC. I know I hated having to see him when we played them but I wish him the best in the NFL.

Lacy is my personal favorite. Mason and Gurley deserve serious consideration. Lattimore and Richardson were really good, but not on those guys' level.

If I had to choose, I'd probably say Lacy, followed by Mason, followed by Gurley.
