What? YES. Over the last 5 years, we're averaging more than 1 freshman RB going over 1000 yards. It's not very meaningful like y'all are implying. More common in the future? It's happening now and has for the past 5 years...


I'm not implying. I'm out-and-out stating that its meaningful. You need it to not be in order to fit an opinion you've made up that isn't backed up by his performance, which is fantastic on the field that impact the game for LSU in multiple ways.

You are using the past and statistics now to support your own point about something that should happen in the future. Now this is where you're really starting to get confused.

You're telling us that we can't use the fact that less than 15 kids have done this in the past. But when I point out that you using the future to support a shot at LSU Fans using past performances, you turn back to the past and use stats about Freshman 1,000 yard rushers over the past 5 years.

So when LSU Fans use it you laugh at them and roll your eyes about using stats. But when you use stats to prop up your own opinion-which you're actively trying to stay narrowed down to not include certain on the field impact from the kid-it's okay?

What's good for the goose is not good for the gander, evidently. Only you can make the call when stats are applicable in a discussion I see? Sounds pretty objective and unbiased.

So we can't look at his play on Special Teams-which are superlative. We can't look at past performance in comparison to others around him.

The reason we can't is because-essentially-you say so. But you're being objective.

Gotcha marked down.

What? I can barely follow what you're trying to say here. 1000 yards isn't what it used to be. It's happening more than once every single year now and will continue to happen. It's a fact that you're using the 1000 yards as to why LF is living up to the hype. It's a fact that 1000 yards doesn't come close to living up to his hype. It's a fact that 1000 yards is no longer as special as you're making it out to be. It happens damn near every....single...year. I have no idea what you're trying to say.
