When I posted his stats they proved that he had better numbers against better competition. He had more yards and touchdowns against better teams. But yes, I'm the moron, not the guy who didn't bother to actually look up the statistics.

Don't be hard on yourself. It takes a clever man to realize that the stats I posted in my original post were statistics I looked up.

Yea the stats you looked up for one guy to prove a dumb comparison. You didn't bother to post the stats of the claim you made against Gurley, which would have proved you wrong.

Good gosh please tell me people are not saying Gurley had a better freshman season than Lattimore.
Total fricking stupidity on display.

Gurley, incredible just how huge the guy is and yet runs so well.

I'm sorry but do some fricking research.
Gurley
vs Bama: 122 yards 2 TD's
vs Tenn: 130 yards 3 TD's
vs UF: 118 yards 1 TD
vs Vandy 130 yards 2 TD's
You clearly showed your bias in this discussion because you assumed stats and it made you look like a moron.
ETA: BOOM BITCH
I'm not done reading through the thread, so this might have been addressed... but I couldn't let this stand...
vs Georgia: 182 yards 2 TD's
vs Bama: 93 yards 2 Td's (and another recieving TD)
vs Tenn: 184 yards 1 TD
vs UF: 212 yards 3 TDs
vs Kentucky: 79 rushing yards 133 receiving yards and 3 total TDs
Yeah... those stats are pretty biased...

Why does everyone assume these stats are comparable. 2 completely different seasons. The purpose of posting those stats was to illustrate that CIYE was patently wrong when insinuating that Gurley managed to rack up all his stats against the sisters of the poor. If you'd like to compare the 2 backs you can look at their end of year stats IF that's even remotely viable.
Again, my opinion is that with injuries out of the equation, there is a slight edge to the physicality that Lattimore brings to the table. HOWEVER, his running style and frame (along with the highly irresponsible usage that your program asked him to take on given what we know now) make him significantly more risky. Gurley has more rushing yards, a higher YPC and 1 less touchdown with 50 fewer carries. There is not a clear winner but I'll just say I'm happy that we have him and that I hope Lattimore is able to rehab and have success at the NFL level. Class act!

Lattimore
Posted on 12/12/12 at 11:23 pm to fibonaccisquared
Throwing out just the running stats and saying that this proves that Gurley is the better back is ridiculous. Lattimore had 1600 total yards on the season and 19 total TDs. (Hell, he had more receiving yards in one game against Kentucky than Gurley had all season.) Lattimore is also an outstanding blocking back. He was the total package, which is what makes him the better option, injuries being off the table.

Correct, and Lattie had those numbers against Kentucky in less than two quarters.

I would take either one of them. They are both game changers.

IMO this is a pointless and stupid argument....it's the same as the one comparing Alshon Jeffery to A.J. Green. UGA fans are going to stick by their guy, and USC fans will stick by theirs. No side is going to win the other over.
So why are we even bothering with this?

Are you not capable of reading? Do they not teach that at your school?

FWIW, if I could ABSOLUTELY throw away the propensity for injury, I would lean towards Lattimore by a small margin.
It is a qualified lean, but nonetheless, I think Lattimore would be the better option IF injuries are off the table. Injuries are, however, a significant part of the game of football.
Your argument that he has more receiving yards is valid, though I don't think the margin would be as high if Gurley didn't share carries and touches with KM. Not our fault that we have another back who is also capable of doing damage. When you don't split the carries, you end up with a RB that takes too many hits and gets injured right? The days of the solo RB are pretty much gone. Most NFL teams aren't doing it. The top teams in college aren't doing it anymore. There are only a few RBs who can carry the load by themselves and not get injured... Look at Adrian Peterson even...
It is irresponsible in my opinion to try and have one back shoulder the load in today's game of football.

FIFY. I wish we could take a poll on this but only ask non-UGA or SC fans.
Personally I'd take a healthy Lattimore but it's really splitting hairs at this point. Two great backs. Also alert the hyperbole police to whoever said "Since 2010 Latt is the standard by which all SEC backs are judged".
