Then yall should quit complaining about how bad the rest of the team played and accept he was too fragile to shine on the biggest stage. Right?

yeah but he was lapping the field statistically and didn't shite the bed spectacularly in the biggest game of the year.

Has nothing to do with it. Title are a team accomplishment. Heisman individual award.

It's supposed to be an individual award but it's treated like an MVP award sometimes. The best player doesn't always win the award. Look at some of the past winners. If Bama had lost 1 game in 2009 there's no way MI would've won the Heisman.

LF has played 1 less game and still has better stats than Henry.


Pad those stats with weak opponents. LFournette proved how good he is when faced against true competition.

Not to worry though PDiddy, you guys can all stop the hand wringing and worrying this weekend when he only gets 82 yards in a loss to Arkansas - at Tiger Stadium - at night - prime time ESPN.

If I were starting an NFL team tomorrow and I had to choose between the two backs, LF would be my choice. DH is good and all but IMO LF is just a better running back.

Tebow won a title in 07?
Manziel won a title in 2012?
Robert Griffin won a title?


I'm not saying a team can go winless and win it but the voters have shown that you don't have to win a title to win it.3 of the last 6 didn't win a title

And Henry just keeps a steady yet duller shine.

Of course you want to put qualifiers in to give your player a chance. Henry has been close to as productive as LF.
There isn't a GM or scout on the planet that would take Henry over Fournette.
What even more laughable is LFN in his second season, is more productive than Henry during his junior year.

Dude no matter what you try to do, nobody is going to change their opinion in college football about fournette vs. Henry.... 

They aren't even in the same hemisphere of backs.....its size vs total package..... 

Fournette breaks 6-10 of those runs Henry got gobbled up from behind


True. Fournette never got caught from behind. Of course he never got in front of anyone either.

You couldn't go wrong with either back. LF has a higher ceiling though. Henry is a really good back too.
I out for the night

Wow, you guys are falling hard. All the delusion around here - It's like you guys are collectively 7 years old and have no concept of reality. The dude is not the great back you think he is.

He's really good around lesser talent. That "lesser" talent he faced before Saturday night doesn't exist in the NFL.

I really was not all that impressed with him. He is very good, but not much better than the other overrated backs Bama keeps producing. He needed 38 carries to break 200 yards and had 1 run of 40 yards with a blatant holding call.

I can understand why the gumps are rubbing it in, but I don't think they are even stupid enough to believe Henry is better than LF.

Henry is not Heisman material IMO. He is not articulate and has a scary looking face and a mess of hair that looks like a dead rodent. He is one ugly arse snaggled tooth mo-fo.

LF has the "it" factor and star power that Henry can't touch. Sorry gumps. Enjoy this while it lasts. LF will make a statement this week and the rest of the season and LSU fans will be here in full force.

Instead of quoting facts or posting statistics did you just say "I know you are but what am I?"

Henry might surpass Ingrams very impressive NFL career. Might.

Why do yall argue with these guys about shite that does not matter. No way in HELL will an Alabama fan admitt that they are not the best at everthing in football and life. Trust me I live here and listen to there nonsense 10 hours a day at work. You better off being educated like the rest of other fans and just nod and move on.
