re: Do you think Saquon Barkley is being over-hyped?

Alabama obliterates a lot of good players. That doesn't make them not good players. It's a team sport, you know.

Absolutely. Which is why I never made a big deal out of Fournette getting stuffed every time they played. The offensive line couldn't block for shite and LSU was no threat whatsoever to throw the ball.

Barkley is really good. I'm not saying he isn't. I just don't think he's done anything special to warrant separation from a ton of other good backs that have recently come out of college (Fournette, Melvin Gordon, Tre Mason, Mark Ingram, Derek Henry, Jammal Charles, Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, LeSean McCoy, etc.
