I am pretty sure you are full of shite. Beckham had fifteen hundred more receiving yards than Julio after 3 years. That is all Beckham has played so far

Isn't that more yards per carry than Fournette had this weekend?

You're right. Anyone with a little sense can see that Fournette is a better running back than Henry.


If only there was like a nation wide vote for an award that would determine who the better player is, so we would know who most people think the better back is.

A MUCH better question would be why the OP, literally, can't go 10 minutes without having a penis in his mouth?

Mark Ingram (1st round, #28 pick)
- 6+ seasons
- signed 2nd contract with team that drafted him
- 959 carries (160 per season), 4,255 yards, 4.4 YPC, 32 TDs
- 154 catches, 1,066 yards, 6.9 YPC, 4 TDs
- 5,300 yards, 36 TDs in 6+ seasons
- 1 Pro Bowl


Trent Richardson (1st round, #3 pick)
No stats necessary, massive bust



Eddie Lacy (2nd round, #61 pick (3rd to last pick of 2nd round))
- 4+ seasons
- 1 Pro Bowl
- 1 2nd Team All-Pro
- 2013 NFL Offensive ROY
- 793 carries, 3,438 yards, 4.3 YPC, 23 TDs
- 101 catches, 900 yards, 6 TDs
- 4,348 total yards and 29 total TDs


TJ Yeldon (2nd round, #36 pick)
- 2+ seasons
- 312 carries, 1,205 yards, 3.9 YPC, 3 TD
- 86 catches, 591 yards, 6.9 YPC, 2 TD
- 1,796 yards, 5 TDs in 2+ seasons


Derrick Henry (2nd round, #45 pick)
- 1+ seasons
- 116 carries, 515 yards, 4.4 YPC, 5 TD
- 13 catches, 137 yards, 10.5 YPC, 0 TD
- 652 yards, 5 TDs in 1+ seasons



There is 1 bust in that group and 1 guy moving towards it (Yeldon). In no sense of the word is Ingram a bust and neither is Lacy considering where they were drafted and their production/longevity so far as NFL RBs.

The heisman hasn't been an award for the best player in a long time.

This is pretty well known.

Not true...many bammers are solid contributors at their position. Running backs, in general, have been downgraded throughout the NFL...not just bammers.

Julio Jones ties NFL record for fastest to 500 catches in career

OBJ yards per game:
2014 - 108.8
2015 - 96.7
2016 - 85.4

Julio Jones averaged 100 yards per game for record 4th straight year

Jones’s production is even better in the playoffs; he has 552 receiving yards in his five career playoff games, an average of 110.4 yards a game.

So you draft players in the first round for them to make 1pro bowl and have 1 thousand yard season in their entire career.

You draft TJ Yeldon at the top of the 2nd round two years ago, and now you bring in another running back to replace him.

Your 2nd round draft pick in Derrick Henry averages 30 yards rushing per game in his rookie year and 25 yards in the first game of his 2nd year

You dumb if you think there is only one bust in that group

Running backs at the very end of the 1st round or the 2nd round? Yea, that's probably about the norm.

They drafted him to be the 2nd running back to Demarco Murray at this point. You do realize they didn't/don't expect him to be doing anything more than he is right now, right (7-8 carries, 4.5 YPC)?


Do you actually watch the NFL, phan?

I wasn't trying to diminish anything you moron. I just pointed out Beckham's numbers were better after 3 seasons. Sorry if facts hurt your feelings.

One of your fellow idiot bammers also changed the subjec from how much bammer running backs suck

Still smarting from Saturday night.

I can't even imagine how many commemorative Pat Dye plates you smashed Saturday night in a Bush Lite rage.

You obviously don't watch Sean Payton call plays. There is a reason the Saints have only had ONE 1,000 yard rusher (Ingram) 10 years. That reason isn't Mark Ingram.

Carnell Williams was drafted in the top 5 and made exactly zero pro bowls and had ONE 1,000 yard season and had a 3.8 ypc average in his career.

Ronnie Brown was drafted #2 overall and made exactly one pro bowl, had ONE 1,000 yard season and had a 4.2 ypc average in his career.

Why are AU RBs busts in the NFL?

Do they even have a RB in the NFL? All that comes to mind currently is that deranged psycho Tre Mason who busted out.

Pettway's slow arse won't even get drafted at the RB position.
