If you compare the LF/ NC deal to TG3/ MG you have in fact compared the two- when they couldn't be further apart. Todd Gurley was WAY beyond potential. You realize he only played in 5-6 games last year, right?


Just because you don't grasp the fact that the situations are almost identical in regards to the argument that comes up between UGA and LSU fans every time this thread is created is not my problem.

When it comes to Gurley vs. Gordon you guys use Gurley's potential to make the case that he's the better back. When it comes to Chubb vs. Fournette, using anything other than stats is laughable to most of you.

It's hypocritical.

No it's not hypocritical. It's a poor example. Todd Gurley has actually demonstrated a unique skill set vs. the highest level of competition available to him. MG played against weak arse competition. I might have taken MG because of TG3's injury, but TG3 was a more proven commodity and less risky than MG (sands injury)

No, not really potential, just better. Gurley, when healthy, was widely and almost unanimously considered the best back in football. He was considered the best rb to enter the draft since McFadden or Adrian Peterson. That's not based on potential, that's based on 3 seasons of tape.
