re: LF7 Wins Heisman if Voters Watch Every Game!!

the NFL is tired of drafting them and finding out that they don't have anything left in the tank.

Fournette will end his college career with a couple hundred more carries than Heisman winner Derrick Henry

Then, I point out that it really doesn't matter because everybody watched Saban run him into the ground with 400 carries which caused his draft stock to plummet. Crickets. 

---

Henry averaged 3 more carries per game than Fournette. He was the 2nd RB selected.

And he will still be picked in the top 5 next year.
It's not just the carries that have NFL owners worried. It's the toll that playing for the little man with the Napoleon Complex takes on these young men. It just sucks the life out of them.

I don't have time now. But I will start a thread, when I have time, about a conversation I had with someone who works in an NFL scouting department. They basically view the bama coaching staff as a "helicopter program" that maximizes the players and their potential while they are still in college. Once they get paid and get to the NFL they just don't have anything left. It's sad.

Well, I certainly don't. I think Fournette is a great running back. but....try turning your question around. Why do people diminish Henry's accomplishments? This thread was a shot at Henry. It wasn't a shot at Fournette.

---

The irony is likely lost on him.

If florida is a push so is auburn. Henry had more yards but way more carries. I think your giving lf the bod again auburn because of the highlight reel shuck

---

I gave fournette the nod bc he only had 44 less yards on 27 less carries, while also scoring 2 more touchdowns
2 of which were over 25 yard runs, so it's not like he just kept getting the ball at the 1
Fournette had 3 second half carries again auburn, and was not tackled on any of them: 2 tds and one dragged 5 players out of bounds. Sorry we didn't need to pad his stats by well over doubling his carries?

Against Florida fournette had 11 less yards on 13 less carries. A push is generous

Sorry I compared his SEC stats to those scrubs Todd Gurley and Herschel Walker. Please forgive me.

Two excellent backs, no doubt. Which back is better? Chubb or Fournette?







Look, stats don't tell the whole story. Right now, Fournette is the better back because Chubb is injured and we have no way of knowing how strongly he comes back. But, you claimed the goal posts were being moved by Alabama fans. So, if you don't want to move those goal posts, do you want to say that Chubb is a better back than Fournette? Chubbs best year was better than Fournette's best year using the stats you chose to use when comparing Fournette to Henry.

Moving goal posts is something we all do. It's not unique to Alabama fans, LSU fans or Georgia fans.

Now it is you who are moving the goal posts. First you say Henry had the advantage because his OL was much better. Now you want to say Henry will not be as good because he has had a toll taken on him? Toll from what? He has a better OL, will have carried the ball fewer times...what is the toll coming from?

Yet the NFL still keeps drafting them high.

quote:

---

Fournette's numbers per game (had 3 less games) are better than Henry's in every statistical category that exists minus carries per game (1 less)

---

And yards per game.
Not sure...but TD?

quote:

---

And if Fournette had gone to Bama? What would LSU fans be saying about him? Overrated? Used up? Only good because of the OL?

---

Some might. But it would be fournette not Henry they were talking about

Henry is a great back. He's not only good bc of his Oline. Fournette is just better IMO, and pretty much every body else's besides bama fans

Check out what NFL GMs think next draft. See how valuable he is to a franchise compared to Henry

So much is put into the head to head. Bama absolutely took control of the line of scrimmage on both sides. Do I really need to create a YouTube channel and edit and link the first 3 carries of the game for both of them?
Look at Arkansas vs LSU and Arkansas vs bama...

quote:

---

Problem last year is they watched every game, including the Alabama game where he was held to 31 yards.

---

Fournette had to go against the bama Defense, and Henry had to go against the ferocious Steele led LSU defense no?




That first Alex Collins is clearly better than the other one right?
Or is it the same exact guy, against different fronts

So what gives Henry the edge against auburn?
Give me one thing beside having 60% more carries. 60% more carries that went for only 16% more yards and 1/3 of the touchdowns.
If Henry treated auburn like Swiss cheese fournette treated auburn like melted cheese
