Derrick Henry...

[theSabanator20]

And in the NFL he lets that linebacker cream his QB...

Got anything to prove that would happen, other than hater logic?

I'm sure 6'1" 201 lb McCaffrey is a much better pass blocker than 6'3" 242 lb Henry.

But like I said, explain your theory.

Do you read Stats correctly Bro???

Apparently we are ignoring the fact that Mcaffery racked up 958 yards rushing and receiving against defenses 100+ in total defense.

Criticizing Alabama's RB will get you crucified in these parts... Unbelievable. McCaffrey is the better college player. Good lord.

I already told you. Everyone praises these SEC defenses as God like when the whole conference lacks an NFL QB. It's horrendous. Who is Henry going to be? The next Mark Ingram or Trent Richardson? Oh man I'm excited!

And the comparison I made was based on their performances vs two teams that play in the BIG. an 11th ranked Northwestern defense. And a 3rd ranked Wisky defense. How do you relate that? that has nothing to do with the PAC having inflated offenses due topper defenses. Or the SEC defenses. Its the least biased comparison one could make.

Last i checked the trojans were in the PAC. Im going off facts and stats. The stats don't lie. If you break down their seasons based on not only their stats but the stats of the teams they faced. Amongst other variables. Its almost a joke McCaffery is even in the top 3. Honestly he doesn't match up with elliot either. I trhink you may be viewing this more as a fan than an unbiased voter should

Only reason he is in the top 3 is because of breaking Sanders record. Literally the only reason.

The worst defenses in the nation but when faced with a legit defense and an OOC defense he was held to 66 yards. . While henry lit up a higher ranked OOC defense from the same conference

Yeah but over 1100 of his yards were on Kick Return where IMO you are virtually guaranteed 20 yards on every return before you run into any defenders.

In the NFL McCaffrey would be a slot receiver / returner, and a damn good one, Henry is going to be Trent Richardson, another player Saban gassed in college.

Put henry in the PAC and he doubles that .

Like I said, I have no horse in this race. I caught flack for saying Henry is not truly the Single Season Rushing Record in the SEC (which I stand by). Regardless he is head and shoulders the best player in the country, the stats show it.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Henry, Watson, Mayfield should be top3.

 

[theSabanator20]

Derrick Henry is unstoppable! He broke the SEC rushing record after handing the ball to him 59 times a game because our QB can't throw!

You sound like Nick Allioti when Connor Halliday passed like 80 times on his defense and continued to put up points on the 2nd string D.

In the words of the great OC Charlie Weis... "If it works, run it until they can stop it."

Henry seems to be okay with it.

He did pad his stats against Auburn though. Pretty stupid move giving him the ball like that if you ask me

We didn't have a #2 for the Auburn game really because Drake was out. Either Henry is really good or we are fucked next year at the RB position. Losing both Henry and Drake and this is the first year where a true freshman wasn't able to come in and get meaningful playing time. Really surprised about that.

Didn't really have a #2 for the Florida game either. Drake was back and made some plays, but he wasn't 100% and wasn't a big part of the offense(made me nervous as well as far as holding onto the ball). Hopefully he is back for the Michigan St game because he seems to be the only RB able to take some of the carries, even if he is used differently.

At the end of that game I don't blame Saban 1 bit for running Henry. Score was too close and not out of range for an Auburn miracle.

Whats the average kick return in the pac. I think that 20 yards iis being generous. How many returns for TDs in the PAC. The stats don't lie. I know adore has a few. kick coverage is another weak point in the PAC

Put henry in the PAC and he doubles that .

Mcaffery went 6 games without putting up any points....

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Henry, Watson, Mayfield should be top3.

I had them ranked Henry,Mayfield.Watson,Elliot with MCcaffery 5th at best

I'm not disagreeing.

 

[4down20]

Honestly, as far as kicking return stuff goes - you need to be Devin Hester like for me to notice.

 

[theSabanator20]

I'm sure Saban is offended. I guess the NFL just never learns.

"Don't draft a Saban RB they all suck and will be busts..."

Unfortunately Henry will be taken 1-2 round and you will be wasting your life whining about it. But please, continue your fiddle fluffing.

Thats pretty bad in the PAC and i agree with mistaken kick return stats other than tds are moot. Yards from returns being used to pad stats is stretching
