Nick averages just as many yards per touch as LF,but doesn't get as many yards per game and has played inferior competition
Interesting. How did you come up with inferior competition? Was it strictly by the "name" of the teams or did you look at stats?

From another thread, I've got your stats for you:
quote:
Why wouldn't you look at rushing defense? Wouldn't that be a much more relevant stat? Or is it that it doesn't fit your argument...
For LSU, opponents rank 19,80, and 108 currently.
For UGA, opponents rank 37,74, 82, and no rank for Southern.
Then factor in that LSU's opponents have slid further down because we are averaging more rush yards per game, it's obvious who has played better defenses and who has been more effective against them.
TL:DR? Stop being a homer. There is no metric that shows Chubb to be better than LF.
