Beast. Wanna trade? You can have anyone but JoJo Kemp in return.

I think Gurley is the best back in the country but I love the way Yeldon plays the game.

I disagree...Gurley had 50ish more carries than Yeldon...You give Yeldon 50 more carries and he has better stats IMO.

Gurley is a fine running back no doubt. I like Yeldon because of his run style. He runs upright very fast and is very elusive. A bit different from our bruiser backs like Ingram, T Rich, and Lacy.

I don't base my reasoning off of production. You don't see guys with elite power like Gurley run with that type of smoothness. Either way both of them will have giant years this year.

I do...production is everything. Don't get me wrong....I see that Gurley is a hell of a back but I just don't think he's better than Yeldon.

Yeldon is quickly becoming my favorite Alabama player but I think Gurley is a little bit better. He's so powerful AND smooth.

Yeah...this reminds me of the AJ and Julio thing all over again but with RB's of course.

TJ is quicker, more elusive, and has better receiving skills than gurley. He is the superior athlete to gurley. And speaking of, even though he did play behind a good O-Line, he split carries right down the middle with lacy. Gurley got most of the carries when Georgia wasn't worth a crap vs the competition. Yeldon will have better stats than him this year even though the O-Lines should be about equal

are you?
are you?

One thing that helps TJ is his football IQ.
He's as well rounded 'a running back Bama has had in a very long time.
The SEC has several backs then could claim the top spot, but none are better than TJ. Fewer still are as good.

I agree in space, although Gurley's subtle elusiveness between the tackles is arguably his greatest asset.

I disagree with this. Because Gurley is so smooth and so big, people think he's a slower back, which couldn't be further from the truth. Gurley's initial HS claim to fame was as a track star, and he still competes for the UGA track team in the hurdles.
Both are excellent backs, obviously. Anybody would be happy to have either of them.

For his sake, I hope the OL can gel relatively quick.
