Now that a less arbitrary and more valid methodology has been implemented and shows Hill's stats better than Yeldon's, will you concede your digression was rather, how shall we say, premature?

Hill:
Against top-25 teams: 5.81 ypc, 52 att 4 TD
Road games: 6.01 ypc, 7 TD
Home games: 7.67 ypc, 9 TD
vs Winning teams: 6.20 ypc, 10 TD
1st half of games: 6.99 ypc, 10 TD
2nd half of games: 6.79 ypc, 6 TD
Winning by 15+: No stats (Magee got those carries, 5 games)
4th quarter: 6.39 ypc, 3 TD, 38 attempts
Yeldon:
Against top-25 teams: 5.32 ypc, 93 att 5 TD
Road games: 5.77 ypc, 6 TD
Home games: 6.27 ypc, 8 TD
vs Winning teams: 5.7 ypc, 7 TD
1st half of games: 5.32 ypc, 8 TD
2nd half of games: 6.71 ypc, 6 TD
Winning by 15+: 7.27 ypc, 4 TD, 217 yards
4th quarter: 4.87 ypc, 1 TD, 47 attempts
Pretty obvious that Hill was much better. I don't even have to mention fumbling problems. Alabama has the better RBs this season, but last season, it wasn't close.

How many people said he was leagues better? I would agree that that may be an overstatement but you then proposed the spurious claim that Yeldon out produced him against good competition and cherry picked a favorable methodology to demonstrate this. So you were clearly being dishonest and showed yourself to be comparable to the poster you wanted to rebuff. Essentially you both proved yourselves to be homers.
