So why are you posting on a message board? Shouldn't you have a college job by now?
Because it's more fun to watch you fumble (not a Yeldon pun, I swear) around. It shouldn't shock anyone that coaches and talking heads are picking a decent system player on a run-first team with a track record of O-line success. Put Yeldon on a UGA's roster and he doesn't sniff those stats or accolades. Put Gurley on Bama's roster and he wins the heisman. I'll say it again, Yeldon is an average SEC starter, elite relative to the rest of college football, but given the pedigree of Bama and SEC backs he'll be forgotten pretty quickly. Gurley is elite in every sense of the word.

When watching Todd Gurley play, one realizes that in addition to all the power, speed, cutting ability, the one constant need is balance, and while it can be worked on, it is also just a natural talent. I remember the TV guys were showing Gurley hopping cones on one foot pre game to LSU and thinking, damn, I would sprain an ankle if that was me. Just watch the play where the USCe D guy pulls his helmet off via the face mask. The most impressive thing about that is that Gurley didn't somehow fall. I mean seriously, how many how there wouldn't have fallen at that point?
I truly think balance is the thing that separates the very athletic, good backs from the great ones. Marshall is great. I love him, but watch how many times he is easily tripped up by a grab at his feet. That is the difference between the two.
