I would take either. Both are great team players with elite strength and speed. Comparing Henry to Fournette is like comparing Jimmy Page to Eric Clapton. At that level, who cares?
I mean. The guy I was responding to claimed that Henry was Bo level. That he's never seen anything like him. And there is a guy playing right now that to me is clearly better. Henry just seems like the type of player that needs two or three uninterrupted steps, and he isn't quick enough to make moves in the back field. Without a good line, Henry would remind me of DeMarco at the Eagles. Just completely ineffective, and scat backs might not be able to move the chains like DeMarco did in Dallas, but they can escape pressure in the backfield. Attacking the line of scrimmage? Sure. He's special at that. But that doesn't make him some god of a running back the likes of which we haven't seen in 30 years. It's just an outlandish statement.

In my opinion, its the things you don't see that make Henry great. He is not the perfect running back. I still think he would be more successful in the NFL as a LB or TE. But, he is the heart and soul of the Bama offense. His work ethic is legendary. He makes everybody else around him better. Young guys worked harder over the summer. He kept egos in check and helped young stars like Ridley and Stewart gain confidence. He helped Coker more than anyone. If Bama was without DH this year? They would be Florida. Great defense, bad offense. 9-3 at best. Every time Bama needed a play, he got it.
