lol they were the national champions. a loss is a loss. compare the OLines and you will see.

So Peyton Manning and Tom Brady can't be considered great QBs then. They're on good teams.

i never said richardson is a bad RB. he is an amazing talent and will do great things at bama. all i am saying is that you arent giving brown enough credit. Peyton and Tom wouldnt be putting up nearly as good of numbers if they had the OLine and receivers of say the Rams or Raiders. not to mention brown's injury.

Mark Ingram is defiantly better than him. If you really watch the championship game it would be easy to tell. He couldn't be stopped.

Really i cant believe how easily you can say Richardson is better than the reigning Heisman winner. He won it for a reason.

Nick Saban will play the best player. If he continues to develop like most at Alabama think he will, he will start at some point for Alabama next season.

Talent will continue to tantalize people, but Ingram is the best RB in college and proved it day in and day out. Richardson will not start unless Ingram is hurt or they play a inferior team. Bet.

Yes he has better tools which equates to the talent argument but im sure many people would be considered more talented than emmitt smith.

If Brown was injured he shouldn't have played. I don't want to hear that. I'm sure Richardson was busted up some too.

Anyone without orange shades on will tell you Richardson > Bryce Brown.

Bryce and Arthur were both over-rated... both good, but over-rated. I doubt Arthur even gets drafted ATP. Bryce won't be drafted higher than Richardson.... you can write that down.

orange shaded glasses? theres a good chance the kid wont even be on our team anymore? why would i want to give him the benefit of the doubt?

Also, using the excuse that someone is good because they're on a good team is played out. Richardson is better regardless of who is O-line is or what team he's on.

It's a good thing Crowell is most likely no longer a possibility for us. This thread is way off course.. partly my bad.

Soooo.... next.... any Crowell news welcome......

I won't tell you that. I think it's just too close to call to even be worth debating. I'd say essentially equal. Trent appears to be a little bit more natural receiver and is a little less likely to eventually get chased down and caught from behind by a fast DB on a really long breakaway run. But Mark being a year ahead of Trent gives Mark a little bit of an edge overall as a runner and as a blocker picking up blitzers. A big advantage of having two backs that are so versatile and interchangeable is that defenses can't play tendencies based on one being on the field versus the other.

I am saying that i think Bryce and Trent are on close to the same level. i dont know that i think bryce is better, but i certainly think he could have been just as good as richardson had he played on Bama's team. personally i think hardesty could have competed with ingram if they were on the same team.

and pat martin said crowell is still interested in the vols.
