Drake could be a poor man's Percy Harvin if used the same way, which we started seeing. And that's a huge complement.

He isn't as well rounded or consistent, but has the tools.

I agree. Drake is much better than Henry.

Drake should be the starter next year.

Can he be the same Drake after the injury?

He should be. Its not like he is coming off of a bad ligament tear.

Drake isn't a scat back by any means. He is just fumble prone. I bet he has a higher fumble rate than any Alabama RB in history with more than 50 carries


No worse than Yeldon at fumbling and more explosive IMO. I haven't been consistently impressed with Yeldon since his freshman year.

To be fair, he hasn't had the line to run behind since then.

He definitely got the short end of the straw his soph and junior years as far as our Oline goes compared to previous years. He was a game changer for us last Saturday and he wasnt close to 100%.

Fair enough. He was running behind arguably the greatest line in CFB history in 2012. I think his stellar freshman year set expectations too high for him. At that time, Ingram said "He could be better than all of us" with reference to himself, Richardson, and Lacy. That kind of hype gave me and many other Bama fans very high expectations.

Even in his worst games he's had moments of greatness. He shined last week and he's shown improvement across the board from last season.
