Travis Etienne had some of if not the best career stats I've seen. Also stayed 4 years which very commendable
Etienne finished his career with touchdowns scored in 46 games. With his 4,952 career rushing yards Etienne also broke the ACC career rushing record previously held by Ted Brown.[22] He also set ACC career records for rushing touchdowns (70), total touchdowns (78), and total points scored (468). He scored at least one touchdown in 46 of 55 career games, setting the FBS and NCAA records.[23] He was named as a Consensus All-American

No one is arguing Chubb has been great in the league. We’re talking about. College and college McFadden was better
Nick Chubb 758 carries for 4769 yds
Darren McFadden 785 carries for 4590
Stats don't lie Nick Chubb more yds on fewer carries.

More TDs per touch.
More yards after contact.
I think the only stat in mcfadden's favor is yards per game.

Lol. Chubb had a Better team, better passing game, better surrounding talent, better offensive line, even a better defense plays into offensive player stats. Metrics that can’t be measured as simply as stats when comparing players.
Comparisons like this are so outrageously stupid it just shows who doesn’t understand this game whatsoever.

It wasn’t that bad. Not as bad as say, Trent Richardson’s.
Plus this conversation is about college. Are you going to say AJ Mccaron wasn’t a good college QB bc he’s been a joke clipboard holder in the NFL? The posters on here are retarded I swear to God

For someone with a lot of words and nothing at all in this thread to back them up, you sure are extremely emotional about this.
If you don't want to add any football discussion, you can ignore me.
If you want to show video where I'm wrong. Or stats where I'm wrong. Or anything other than you menstruating through this thread... I'm happy to hear an actual legitimate argument.
But you won't. Because you are on your period and you want everyone to know it.

Which one is it? You say McFadden only hits the edge (which is asinine) and then watch a YouTube video and say he hits the inside? What? Sounds like you have no clue what you’re saying.
Please show one image where McFadden is 12 yards in the backfield. Oh you can’t - bc It doesn’t exist. He’s 8 yards back in a single back ace formation. Which is far back - but not a single formation shows him 12 yards in the backfield. There’s 0 formations where he’s lining up 12 yards in the backfield lmao. Please attach a pic. Chalk it up to exaggeration? Thanks Mr. film, but it again seems as if you have NO IDEA what you’re talking about.
This is incredible. An All purpose back is someone utilized in the passing game as well as running. McFadden averaged 1 catch for 9 yards a game in college. He had 300 receiving yards in college. Bush had over 1300 receiving yards. He averaged 5-7 receptions a game and spent major time in the slot and flanker. McFadden NEVER lined up in those positions except rarely to take a reverse. Again, you have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
I have a problem with anyone pretending to know something they don’t. You’ve tripped over your posts, changed your mind, contradicted yourself, and posted straight up asinine comments like McFadden and Bush are both featured the same way. It’s annoying — stick to your team instead of pretending to know the game and disputing people who actually know what the hell they’re saying.

I always see highlights of McFadden off the edges beating the defense
I also like mcfadden inside better than Bush.

I don't mind the argument, "who needs to break tackles when they don't get their hands on you". But you watch him and it is immediately evident (as he lines up 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage) that he isn't a battering ram. He is a slingshot.

Styles make fights. Reggie Bush has a specific skillet. McFadden has the exact same skillset but he is significantly better at it. They both are all purpose backs.

I didn’t say it was bad, but it was very forgettable, and no one is saying Trent was the best RB of the last 20’years.

But what does that have to do with an argument about greatest college running back last 20 years? Seems being a two time Doak Walker award winner and finishing 2nd in the Heisman twice is more relevant in discussing best college players than nfl career? Lol wtf?

I read the post. Which included the words “best college running back”.
Way to fit the Alabama stereotype of illiterate and aggressively retarded.

You call ME a child while you tantrum and melt like a little girl? Take some deep breaths kid. The irony is, I actually sided with you and came to your defense on another thread. So, maybe you should show some respect to your elders. 
Oh and uh, we've only had 1 WR go over 1000...Terrance Edwards.

Derrick Henry should have gotten more snaps in 2013 and 2014 but there was a lot of talent around at tailback when he arrived. Still, his 2015 season is one of the best by a tailback in the SEC. 2200 yards and 28 touchdowns. Not that it necessarily matters but his NFL career has been a continuation of his college career. One of a handful to have a 2k rushing season. Led the league in rushing twice. OPotY once.
But ultimately, the correct answer for last 20 years of cfb: Adrian Peterson. In a few years the last 20 years time slice may mean Derrick Henry though.

I'm quite certain Derrick Henry is the only RB in history to register 2,000+ yard rushing seasons in high school, college, and the NFL. Maybe Barry Sanders?

Checked wiki. He ran for 4k his senior year of high school. My lord.

You know what is really stupid is to argue a guy is better without having anything to back it up. I used stats which is pretty much the only way to compare the two. You used nothing except the incredibly stupid words that are coming out of your mouth.
Then you also have the backup of the NFL stats. Yes I know we are comparing college but it also says the last 20 years. Nick Chubb not only proved it in college but is continuing to prove it in the NFL with one of the worst franchises in the league.
If you don't have anything to back up your argument then please see your way out of the conversation.
