There is a strong contingency here who cant come to grips with Chubb being the better choice at RB,

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.

I think gurley is the best as well, but statistically Chubb has just been flat out better than gurley thus far.

Gurley certainly looked like an alien more often than anyone in recent memory. More "that's unfair" plays than Chubb. Gurley also "benefits" from a lot of "what if" as far as injuries and suspensions.

Are we underrating Chubb? Again, for some reason I agree that gurley is the best, but is it possible we are just wrong? We argue Chubb over fournette and use stats all day long while LSU fans talk about potential or just freakish plays/talent and then we have to resort to that same argument when we argue gurley over Chubb. It's interesting. Because statistically, Chubb is on top of all of those guys for now.

Chubb and Michel are starting to remind me of Lendale White and Reggie Bush at USC. Forgetting their NFL careers for a moment, those two were amazing in college. Everyone remembers Bush and the flashy highlight plays he made (Michel), but White brought the power, was unstoppable in short yardage and had breakaway ability as well (Chubb). Because of the publicity Bush got, White was one of the most underrated college RBs of my lifetime and was the hammer in that USC offense.

ETA: Michel isn't as good as Bush yet, but his skills are absurd.
