there isn't any career metric which LF is better than NC, aside from KO returns which NC doesn't do. You are using 2 games from LF to "put this to rest", which is about the most unbelievably fricking retarded argument I've ever heard.

will wait until the end of the season to judge, but if Fournette put up considerably better numbers this year, what will your opinion be? will you admit he's better or will you try to use last year as a reason chubb is better? serious question

well, after last season NC was far, and I mean FAR, better in pretty much every conceivable category. Yet LSU fans only pointed to the intangible "potential", along with other bullshite like miles playcalling and whatnot. So, basically I and other folks have learned that LSU fans will bend the argument any which way they can to make it look better for LF.

it would be that LF is as good or better than NC. Idk why yall think I'm such a homer, I'm not. I'm a realist. I base my opinions on stats, data, and what I can actaully see. Last year NC was so, so, soooooo unblieveably better than LF. It wasn't even remotely close. Yet LSU fans called UGA fans homers for not seeing lf's "potential". This whole entire time, every UGA fan on here has acknowledged that LF pretty much has a higher ceiling, he just hasn't reached it yet.

Regarding you rquestion above, if LF contitnues to ball out as he has so far, I have no problem whatsoever in saying that he's had the better year. Why would I try to lie about facts?

will you admit he's better


Well, in 2014 he was undeniably not better. If he keeps up his pace (keep in mind, we're not even talking about hwat chubb might do this year) sure I'm perfectly rationaly enough to admit someone is better

this is such a silly question. Lf has played 2 games in '15. Both players played 13 games in 14 and we saw for damn sure who was better. I can't rightly say who is better 3 months from now because that's a lot of data we haven't seen yet.


Bottom line...LSu fans are ridiculously insecure and need constant validation that their highly rated prospect is actually good. Nobody has said LF isnt' good; everyone knows he IS really good and has unlimited potential. It just so happens there's another guy that has done better than he has the last 13 months. Sorry I'm not sorry.

As an unbiased observer I really can't say one guy is better than the other at this point. At the end of the season I still might not be able to declare either as the better back. I think LSU is more dependent on LF than UGA is on NC. If they both went out for the season it would hurt Lsu more due to style of play and the fact I believe UGA has better back ups, I AM NOT SAYING THAT LSU DOESN'T HAVE GOOD BACK UPS.

Imo LF will end up with better stats this year due to Lsu ridding him hard and he'll get 25 carries a game, as he should. Be is a man child BEAST.

Too close to declare At this point.
