I hate it. I really wanted Fournette to be the man but he is such a cuck. We have some great RB's in the NFL and in college but I believe Henry is just special. He'll end up out-doing all the greats before he is done. He is that good and will be durable unlike other Bama RB's (and QB's).

If he could just get that hairline and grill fixed. Roll tide, I guess.

This will get downvoted by my own people but IDGAF. I call it like it is.

Probably. A lot of it depends on where he goes throughout his career. He has the body type that will allow him to stay in the league a long time.

When I try to talk up a Bama player, they turn out to be a huge cuck.

Now you have to hype Drew Lock as your punishment.

That jacket is fabulous

By what metric? Guys like Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliott are his contemporaries.

In 2014, Gordon had more yards on fewer touches than Henry did in 2015, when Henry won the Heisman. Gordon has also made two Pro Bowls to Henry's one Pro Bowl.

Elliott has arguably had a better pro career than either of them, and he has made three Pro Bowls in four seasons.

Henry is good. His past two seasons have been outstanding. But I'm just not seeing "Greatest RB in history for his time" reflected in the numbers.

The disappointing part is that it took the Titans 3 seasons to realize Derrick Henry is not the type of HB who needs to split carries to "stay fresh." The Titans could have avoided a lot of disappointment with one phone call to Nick Saban, who also figured that out the hard way. His 2015 Iron Bowl against AU is up there with Tre Mason's 2013 SEC title game performance in the ultimate SEC alpha male performances of all time. 46 carries, 271 yards. And he was more dominant in the 4th quarter than in the 1st. That's just how he is wired.

shite what he did to us in 2015 was even better in terms of meaningful games. That fricker would not stop falling forward. If we stopped him for one yard, he would fall forward and get four.

Seriously though, the dude is not a pussy. I can respect someone for their views while flawed but glad he stood. He recognized the BLM organization is full of shite.

PFF has Henry as the 8th-best running back in the NFL for 2020.

McCaffrey is their top back. Dude accounted for 2300+ all purpose yards last year.

Henry is the type of player who can win you a super bowl with an average OL and an elite defense. That is, if you are willing to be an extremely boring offensive coordinator.

He has been good in college and is doing good in the NFL. I’m happy for him

I, for one, will be glad when skinny suits go out of style. Burrow could be Ellen in that pic, especially with the mask on.
