Better vision,lower center of gravity and quicker IMO.

Fournette runs a little too upright and I he's almost too tall for the RB position.

Now he probably go for a couple of hundred tonight because of what I said.

LF has been coming on the past couple of weeks. I haven't watched him enought to say who is better though. I'm pretty satisfied with Chubb though.

Ill be honest and say that I haven't really watched Fournette run much but, its hard to beat what Chubb has done as a true freshmen in the absence of any other truly viable running threat (yes, I know we all love the ROWK, but he isn't getting carries the past four weeks if even ONE of the other 3 was available).

I honestly don't know how anyone in high school EVER tackled Chubb...I know they DIDNT tackle him much but, still.

Both are fantastic but Fournette looks like he has more raw talent and a higher ceiling to me. Just my opinion.

Chubb has better vision.

Fournette has played much better competition though.

Chubb also wasn't the starter for the first 5 games and is still getting close to 1000 yards. LF has pretty much been the man for LSU since the 2nd or 3rd game of the season, has he not.

Speaking of 1000 yards, both Gurley and Chubb are on pace to both break 1000 yards this season. Did we ever have 2 players rush for over a 1000 yards in a season?

Chubb. No question in my mind. And it's not at all because Fournette is sub par. Fournette is outstanding.

But Chubb takes it up a notch. No weakness to his game and he has that something special to his game that makes him just that much more dangerous.

He is a big time threat every time he touches it. And he is improving.

I'd say he's very good and has unique size and speed BUT I really can't say he's in the game changer category of a Chubb or Gurley...who Danielson just compared him to (of course)

I'd take Chubb, but barely. Fournette is a beast

I think Chubb has better vision and he's a little more compact than LF so he can break more tackles. Both will be playing on Sundays in the future

I honestly havent seen enough of LF. That said, what I have seen of him, which is a good bit, he has not really shown me anything better or really on par with Chubb

Chubb has better vision and runs with lower pad level than Fournette. Fournette probably has more natural ability and a higher ceiling and I really like Fournette's decisiveness when a hole opens up. He runs with a lot of power.

So far though, I'd definitely take Chubb based off of what I've seen. He's had some incredible runs this year and will likely only get better. Not saying that Fournette has not, but I'd take Chubb's highlight runs over Fournettes so far.

Here's a better question, IMO, who ya' got between Chubb and Michel? I want to see more of Michel and I think he's got a higher upside and more versatility. But Chubb has played like a grown man.

That is a better question. I think, at the beginning of the season - the first couple of games - Michel was the better back. Now, Chubb has had the chance to get a lot of work and he has improved every game.

So now - I think Chubb is the better back.

But Michel is going to improve from here on out, and he will be a great one.

And, yeah - both Michel and Chubb are better than Fournette, imvho.

LF might be better in the long run, but he has terrible vision.

Yea it's almost too hard for me to think of one as better than the other because I was the exact same way - first few games I thought Michel was better but then obviously Chubb went beast mode.

I think they complement each other about as good as they can and Chubb is showing more speed than I expected. That combination is going to be so much fun to watch going forward. Especially if we can return 4/5 OL starters and 6/8 of the 2 deep next year.

And we are going to have Chubb, Michel, McKenzie - and Blazevich - with Eason at QB before it's all said and done.

Our future is very, very bright.
