Again counting receiving yards for an RB in a discussion about a running back award makes zero sense.

I'm pretty sure catching passes is a part of most RB's role.

It should absolutely factor.

But Sampson also probably should be a finalist.

I’m not the one flip flopping on garbage time unable to grasp the concept. If the Vols has just left Sampson in the second half of games he would have had Henry’s single season TD number a couple of weeks ago.

But is not a primary role. Would you agree that when discussing a strictly running back award it would make sense to focus on their primary role? If it’s total yards why not look at Jaxson Dart, he has well over a thousand yards more than any RB in total yards and 27 TDs. Why not give him the Doak Walker award? He’s had 99 rushes this season.

It makes perfect sense. You just dont like it because Sampson is 1 dimensional.

Is this garbage time you are speaking of?

That's because the other backs are weak little boys in comparison to Sampson.

He's about like if you put a shield of tank armour around Alvin Kamara basically.

Fumbles will add up against you. He’ll still get a star sticker from UT though. Don’t worry.

Ok? It's true being a running back consists of several different skills.

He's not a running back. The award is for the top running back.

This is as bad of an analogy as one can be. No wonder you run away so often.

So let’s include blocks, being a team leader, etc.. It’s not a best athlete, it’s best running back. RUNNING back.

It’s not an all purpose yardage award… it’s a running back award.

It doesn’t matter when you fumble in three consecutive games.

The whole world hates Tennessee except for Tennessee fans.

When are you going to get that?

It's kind of like the whole world thinks Georgia fans are absolutely one of the stupidest groups of human beings God ever put on this Earth.

Except we’re not. We’re not, because we can always think of a better response than something which looks like it took a retarded inbred an hour with crayons and construction paper to come up with. In other words, a Tennessee fan. Now go dig the turkey out of that one tooth hit some of the M&M, and go to bed.
