Caleb King was average in every way as a RB. He had one good game

Caleb King could do everything well but the toss sweep. Fortunately for us, Washaun Ealey could do the toss sweep well and nothing else.

Crow was overhyped and overrated.
Great for a freshman never ever ever ever equals great.

Depends. Is there any chance of them getting dismissed from the All-UGA reject team?

I never said he was great.

Crow was better as freshman than Caleb King ever was. He had better vision, instincts, speed, quickness, comprable size.

There's a reason he got signed by an NFL team despite his problems.

Ummm. Caleb King got signed and played, too.

Caleb had a much better yards per carry average. And he found the endzone a lot more per touch as well.

The only thing Crowell had going for him was a couple of walk-on backups forcing him to get more carries. In 185 rush attempts, he had 5 touchdowns. There's nothing better than Caleb (who was also a better pass blocker) in Crowell's game.

I don't think you'd find many people who would agree with you, but I'm not going to argue about this anymore.

I'm not trying to educate them. Just you.

No biggie.

About as good of chance as a 2 loss BCS champ.

Better tailback? Hell no.


Crow was WAY better and had WAY more potential.

Unless you dig RBs who stand straight up right out of the gate.

Caleb King had a good game against tech in 2009, if I remember correctly he and washaun both went for over 100 yards that night.

He always seemed to go down on first contact.

He must have been fast enough to get well over 5 yards before first contact.

I do know this... Crow couldn't seem to get any yardage past 20... ever. Caleb was more consistent and more explosive.
The only thing he wasn't good at was the toss sweep.

Crowell didn't hit the hole as fast as you would like, but he had much better vision. King just seemed to be too straight lined of a runner for his body type. And King didn't seem to progress at all on the field, while when Crowell was healthy he was a top RB in the SEC. The only reason Crowell wasn't consistent was because he had those nagging ankle injuries.
