re: Chubbs last touchdown at Sanford Stadium.

Whatever you say. All I've said is that he's the second best RB we've ever had IMO, that's based on what I've seen of our running backs on the field. If people don't think he's 2nd best because other RBs were better that's perfectly fine, I mean it's just an opinion afterall. But I think it's questionable to say that he shoudl be knocked down a peg based on being suspended, or others should rise up because "they're DGDs".

And that's true. There are people on our team now that are doing things they aren't supposed to that could get them in trouble but as long as they aren't caught it's no biggie. But gurley was caught, so let's just throw him to the wolves.

Meanwhile...back to the op title...has anyone either isolated the overhead view of the run themselves, or found the overhead view isolated?

FWIW Fib....Fr/So Chubb was more talented than Knowshon IMO. Gurley probably more talented even than Herschel, but different generations, no way to really compare. Herschel definitely outruns Gurley in a foot race, and Gurley probably doesn’t run for 150 against Bama in the SECCG in 2012 with a separated shoulder, but I think Gurley definitely has better vision than Herschel and definitely runs angrier.

I think it depends on what you're evaluating

Very True.

Herschel is Overall #1. Just because he's Herschel.

Chubb would be #2 Overall due to running ability and then all of the intangibles we've discussed.

Most talented runner I've seen would be Gurley for just being crazy slippery, always finding the hole and making it look easy. He still does it at the highest level and it's hard to figure out how. It's like some kind of voodoo magic.

I would probably put Sony #2 above Knowshon just due to his elusiveness, top end speed and he's fresh in my memory.

I get many will say Chubb is #2 based off his stats, but to me and others, Gurley clearly was more talented (not a knock on Chubb). Hell Sony has been the better back since Chubb's injury. In fact, I think it is Gurley, then Sony, then Chubb if we are ranking those three on pure ability. This is no knock on Chubb, but we just haven't seen Chubb be dynamic in the passing game like those two have. Granted, him not getting a lot of work catching ball is his main problem.

If you want to look at just the stats, then yeah Chubb is ahead of Gurley. But if are asking, who 'looks' the best out of Chubb and Gurley, it is Gurley ALL DAY!

Again, none of this is a knock on Chubb, but just goes to show how great Gurley was. And yes Richt basically hung Gurley out to dry, not to mention AJ Green as well. Why can schools like Ole Miss, Auburn, FSU, etc can all make the NCAA prove their case on their players, while we had a coach who basically turned on their players by giving them up. If Richt would have just had denied it and made the NCAA prove their case, nothing would have happened.

I don't see how one can say that Gurley didn't give his heart and soul to the UGA program just because he signed his name. GTFO here.

You can refuse to see the obvious. No one can force you.

Gurley did a "me first" when he broke obvious rules for a little scratch. He got caught and the team had to suffer alongside Gurley.

This is as basic as it gets. Meanwhile, Chubb is toting the rock 30 times per game against average talent to help lead us to victory. Without Chubb to fill the void (Michel and Marshall were also hurt), we lose when we shouldnt.

So the handful of you in here that subscribe to this logic as a reason Gurley shouldn't be higher on some "all time uga rb list", I assume of course that you think AJ Green isn't our best WR either? I mean he sold a jersey for money and also was suspended 4 games and left school early, meanwhile other guys gave their all for 4 years without any trouble. That's how it works right?

My ranking is based on the overall career and contribution of each player. Gurley chose to accept money and got caught. That action hurt the team. Gurley chose to go pro after his injury. Chubb chose to come back for another year. All this is merely my opinion versus yours. Don't get all upset because I have a different opinion.

I don't recall AJ Green being mentioned as one of our greatest RBs.
But if you want to mention AJ, then he got screwed over the jersey. The jersey was given to him after the bowl game. He should have been allowed to dispose of it any way he wished, but I think he signed it so that would make it him profiting from his autograph, which is wrong.
And if leaving early is a crime, do you propose taking Herschel off the all-time great list for leaving early?

I don't know that there was anyone even remotely close enough to AJ to bring AJ's #1 status into question - he lapped the field even with all the ancillary stuff.

But if there was an equivalent player who didn't get suspended and stayed 4 years then yes - the same rules would apply. Most everyone here that is criticizing Gurley still has him in the top 3 - which is pretty good given #1 is universal.
