I apologize for this absolutely unjust and absurd opinion that nick Chubb will be our MVP. Don't know what I was thinking.


There is a strong contingency here who cant come to grips with Chubb being the better choice at RB, rockchlk. Don't let the bastards drag you down.

They are always quick to point out that Sony was ahead of Chubb on the depth chart before he got hurt last year but forget to mention that it was mainly due to him being better in pass-pro, coming from a more bigtime HS program in FL.

Also, YPC comparisons between the two roll off their backs like rain off a duck. Its not close.

Pointing out that Sony has done a lot of his damage as a receiving threat, and that he is more of a Reggie Bush type player than an every down back will make them roll their eyes at you. You say Sony isn't a 25 carries a game guy, they point out Saturday night and fire back with the rolled eyes smiley about him not being a 15 carries guy. 15 is a long way from 25 and I am pretty sure that his high for carries in a game is 11.

Bottom line is this:

We are very lucky to have either of them, and we have both.

Chubb is unquestionably (yes, Sony fans...unquestionably) the better RB. I know you are going to question it anyway, but you are wrong.

Sony is unquestionably the more versatile player.

Lets just be happy we have both and stop arguing about it. The coaches are using both in the proper way. Chubb softens up the defense, then Sony gets to do his thing.

FYI - I think Marshall gets more touches as the schedule goes along...hes going to be fresh, and hes the most legit homerun threat. No one is running his arse down from behind.

In my eyes he is the team MVP. His ability to do it all and be amazing is amazing. Nick Chubb although a great RB in his own right isn't going to do the things Michel is asked to do. I love both but at this point it's not a silly argument to say Michel has been the MVP. He has been unreal for us this year.

I am a big Marshall fan (pretty sure everyone is), but I actually think we will see less of him in our big games. Fair or not, he isn't the same threat Chubb and Michel are.

And I think the gap between Chubb and Michel is much smaller than some others do. I also think it is something that's really stupid for UGA fans to worry about because they both wear the red and black, they both bring different and equally valuable skills to the offense, and they both seem like good kids. Either would start for almost any school in the country.

You gotta really stretch the truth to make Chubb look under appreciated

Chubb is incredible but I am with TM, folks are just now realizing how incredible Sony is. I figured he'd be the best of the 2 backs last year, was proven wrong, but always held on to the assertion that he was not too far behind Chubb if behind him at all. Michel offers something different and he does all of it incredibly well.

It's absolutely absurd the wealth of talent we have in those two. Gurley is the best RB of the 4 but this has to be the best RB duo Georgia has ever had. I mean it is fricking stupid how good they are.
