Fournette / Elliot...toss up right now to me. But I seen Elliott play much more than Fournette, and know Elliott can do it all. Seen where Fournette needs to work on a few things. So based on that, and nothing else.
Gurley / Henry, with edge to Gurley

Not sure after that.

Are you friggin kidding me? LSU has one game plan. Hand it, Pass it, toss it, snap it to Fournette. Every team knows the game plan. 10 in the box. Still cant stop him.

So the argument that Fournette is great he can't be stopped is used FOR him, however, the argument for Elliott is weaker because of the talent level he played against, is used AGAINST him.
Well, ok, whatever.
not saying you say this, but others have

college talent is college talent, I look at it as a whole, it works for every player
what is good or bad for one, it goes for the other

Fournette is a year away, Elliot & Henry are now, Gurley was last year.

Let's compare Wentz to Staubach while we area t it....:laugh:

LOL.

Elliott and Henry have played the same number of NFL games Fournette has.

And another LOL at your Wentz to Staubach comment considering you've been referencing Emmitt Smith in your defense of Elliott at 4.

Dalvin Cook is the best reminds me of Toney Dorsett. He does not get caught from behind. Don't want to go through the whole group but 5 rbs could be drafted in the first next year. The question about Ezekiel is that option offense he was in. Reminds me of Alfred Morris with RG3.

Alabama. They did nothing special and shut him down. Alabama is the closest to the type of defenses Fournette will face in the NFL.

McC is a very interesting guy. As a RB I wouldn't rank his with the guys like EE, Gurley and fournette but as a playmaker he is pretty amazing

If Fournette played in the Big10 he wouldve gotten 2500 yards last year

Zeke was on a team that had 3 guys that could have won the heisman
