Pollard vs Kamara?

[CowboyRoy]

Well, we get to see the starting RB in New Orleans this sunday that backup Tony Pollard has been compared to coming out of the NFL draft from Memphis State in Alvin Kamara.

Kamara started his impressively stellar career as a rookie behind Mark Ingram who seem to take on more the bell cow bulk and load of the running game while AK spelled him in spots and nickel situations and eventually became a bigger part the more splash plays he made his rookie year, ..soon teams were far more afraid of Kamara than Ingram.

and I’m trying not to go overboard but could Pollard actually have more explosiveness and miss ‘em elusiveness than even Zeke ?

And when do we get to see the level of Pollard’s receiving skills as a weapon in Kellen’s offense ?

More explosive and elusive then Zeke for sure. But not Kamara. Although I would love to see more of the kid.

1. I posted about rushing.

2. Pollard's college receiving stats are significantly better than Kamara's.

3. Kamara had has had 2 NFL games with over 100 yards rushing. Pollard already has 1 in only 3 games played as a backup.

This is where you lose credibility in my mind. And your homer spin to everything is ridiculous.

Trying to make a case that Pollard is better than Kamara is laughable.

Pollard couldn't do half of what Kamara can do

You don't know that.

Ok ....... this thread is officially Fonzi shark jumping crazy.

I like Pollard but... lay off the hype train

Part of me hopes he’s no where near Kamara. Imaging paying 90mil for one guy while the 750k guy riding pine is better than Kamara?

Magnificently ridiclous.

I'm going to start a Michael Gallup/Jerry Rice thread.

Both Pollard and Kamara are perceived to be homerun threats no matter where they line up; In the backfield, coming out of the backfield, or out wide. That's why people have compared them.

Kamara is more illusive, thusly people tend to think he's really dangerous space. Which makes him more of a receiving threat.

Pollard has shown that he can push the pile which makes him more of a traditional type back. And at 6'0" 210 lbs. there is no reason to think he can't be a true #1 RB.

Kamara is a human highlight reel but I'd take the push the pile, break out, homerun hitter over him as my #1.

That's just my opinion and opinions vary just like beliefs.

Imagine over a hundred thousand post I never press the report button, and it was only band once for swearing. And I didn't even swear. I feel your pain

I prolly wont make it thru the end of the season. I was here for only about 2-3 weeks last season

Wow.

Pollard is more like Tony Dorsett - when he sees a crease, he hits it like a bat out of hell.
Kamara is more like Walter Payton - a running back that does everything magnificently.

Both are outstanding.

Couldn't? He's played only 3 games.

We are seriously comparing Pollard to NFL legends after one game??? Smh

Did you finish high school?

Pollard has more explosiveness than zeke and imo a lot if other ones do to

but zeke is a load and his vision is second to none.....hes a 4,4,5,2,3,3,4,4,5 yard kinda guy

pollard right now isnt touching Kamara though......Kamara will put up 1k on the ground and 1k in receiving multiple times before he hangs it up

if pollard can get 500 yards rushing and 500 receiving this offense will be unstoppable

Kamara was targeted 100 times as a reciever in each of the last 2 seasons. Not to mention his RB load. That's a heavy workload.

4. The comparison you made was silly.

I'm not interested in your opinion.

lol. Legend of what?

 

[Proof]

Your prediction is no better than the OPs prediction. It all comes down to the game plan (Kellen’s game plan)

Kamara has commercials, etc! The NFL has promoted the kid (Kamara). Could that happen to Pollard? Possibly.

We all know the bell cow is Zeke! So that might negate all the fan fair. I could careless.

Hopefully Tony stays healthy and makes the most of any carries or passes he gets!

Lol. Knock it off. Kamara is an established stud. Pollard is a hopeful poor mans version. Kamara is the established truth

 

[Proof]

And you know this how.? I'm not saying Pollard is better than Chimera right now but make no mistake about it does it mean he can't

i mean it doesn’t mean I can’t either. Kamara is special

 

[Proof]

Kamara is frickin awesome, but a legend?
