I don't think of Mark Ingram at all.

Why? Their ~5 YPC in SEC play, or their lack if TDs? Because it wasn't for any playmaking type of ability, which is fine for a RB but not a Heisman candidate.

Comparing Ingram and Henry to Fournette

You have your legends like Herschel and Sanders.. then guys like McFadden and Fournette.. and then way below that above-average guys like Ingram and Heney

Mark Ingram won the Heisman despite going 36 yards on 10 carries in the goddamn Iron Bowl.

Wrong again. People will remember him as a dynamic playmaker that ran over people but had absurd speed and balance for his size. 2015 AU, 2015 UF, but 2016 UM games come to mind as memorable demonstrations of his talent.

No one, and I mean no one, feared playing either of your Heisman winners. They were just on championship teams.


There are teams that don't fear playing Leonard, and Alabama is one of them.

I'm not diminishing LF's talents and accolades, he is a great athlete. There are 3-4 memorable games in his career where he dominated and plowed through defenses. I may be wrong, but I don't think he has struck fear in opponents like you think.

Because he bounced back and had 113 and 3 TD in the SEC Championship when everyone in the country was watching that game.

Leonard Fournette is on Heisman level.


He is no where near Lamar Jackson's level right now even if you ignore his missed games

That is still a stinker, and at least Fournette had an excuse

That he was playing one of the greatest defenses ever? I know, so if he was playing FOR Bama he wouldn't of had to worry about that.

Bring your opinion, that's fine, but at least educate yourself on the facts.

In 2015 he would have backed up Henry. He would have probably made an argument for being the best running back on Alabama's team, but with the way Henry was running, LF wouldn't have unseated him as starter.


Henry wouldn't be at Bama in 2016 if LF7 was on the roster. He would have transferred because he would have gotten damn near zero playing time

True. It's an indictment on the LSU offensive line.. not Fournette. I don't expect much different in the LSU-Bama game either.

Wouldn't have*, and being stuck in an archaic offense run by a dumbass is the answer

No one will remember the Bama RBs like people will remember Cam, Manziel, Tebow, McFadden, and Gurley. Those guys, like Fournette made plays consistently and over multiple years. I'm sorry dude.

Fournette is the most overrated player in CFB and only your retarded fanbase thinks he's amazing... You guys also want Ed fricking Orgeron as your head coach
