Ask Saban. He would flat out tell you who he rather have. Different type back as well. Fournette is a top 3 in country. I would put Chubb in top 15


They're both probably top-3 in the country along with Dalvin Cook.

Yeah Fournette gets punched in the mouth and can't respond. Chubb actually will fight for the men on the field with him.

You do know there are more stats than just YPC, right? He was "markedly" better in every category other than YPC, which he was only marginally better. Check my post with their stats listed.

As I said in that eRlier post, you're clinging to YPC because it's the only star that's even close to being even.

Like most people, I believe YPC and TDs per attempt are the best gauge.

what other metric would you use for a RB? total yards and exclude rushing attempts?

YPC, yards from scrimmage, TDs/attempt, Yards after contact.. those are the only stats that matter for a RB

Show me in any post where I said said YPC wasn't the best. I'll wait.

While it is the best, it isn't the end all of determining who's better.

For instance, TDs per game is a pretty important stat.

I mean, if we want YPC to be the only factor then Derrius Guice is the best back in the league.

That was fun.

There obviously needs to be a certain level of carries for such a thing to be significant, and a few carries per game is far below any reasonable threshold.

Damn. Thread should have ended here. That is the 2 most important stats for RBs according to LSU fans.

Shocker.

YPC is all that matters until it doesn't help further your narrative.

Tds per carry is a more precise and meaningful measurement:

91/7 = 11.38 touches per
Td or chubb
300/23 = 13.04 LF

Shocker, again.

92/7 = 13.1

Yet another stat Fournette leads in 2015.

Shocker on 2 levels:

- You disagree with a reasonable point without a substantive explanation.
- You don't understand statistical significance. Stsrting to see the impact of at STAT class you missed or got a C in.

Let's recap my day in this thread, shall we?

My first post in this thread today (9:47 A.M.):

"Chubb was clearly better in 2014. Fournette was clearly better in 2015, and yes, that's even if you only count before Chubb got hurt.

This should be the end of the argument. When healthy, you're splitting hairs between the two."


Where we are now:

Chubb was clearly better in 2014. Fournette was clearly better in 2015, through 5 games (Chubb's injury).


Productive.

Says the guy who can't do simple math

Divide 92 by 7 again. Tell me what you get this time.

The goal posts are always on the side of logic and reason, so they remain in the same place. Forgive me for giving chubb credit for a rushing td when it was receiving:

91/7 = 13
300/23 = 13.04
92/7 = 13.14

Counting chubbs injury play or not, Thats splitting hairs.

What are you talking about? You divided 91 carries, when he has 92 for 2015, by 7 and came to a number that wasn't even close.

ETA: What did you do for Fournette's numbers? Nothing you posted is correct....

ETAA: I see, you have total touchdowns divided by only rushes.

Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, Odell Beckham, Jr., Jarvis Landry, Jeremy Hill. All doing very well in the NFL right now.

All that matters is if the point is reasonable or not:

- YPC isn't always a reasonable comparison, which is the case for a backup player who rarely gets carries. Since we weren't comparing such players, I didnt need to make that point.

- Where YPC becomes very meaningful is with RB's who get many carries, who are often starters.
