Easy, Dude...

OK, nowhere near the talent may be strong, but there is no debate who was the better athlete/talent. If you polled 100 Vol fans that actually saw Webb and Lewis (as opposed to those that just opened up a football almanac), you would get 75 votes for Webb... easily...

Maybe so, but a lot of that would come form the clueless faction who automatically consider Lewis a bad guy because of his legal issues and also those who dislike him because they think he slacked his Jr year. Plus nostalgia always reigns.

Editorial in 2005:

Chuck Webb: 296 yards versus Ole Miss in ’89. Enough said!
Could go inside or outside. Webb’s signature moment, though, came in a 78-yard zig-zagging run in the ’90 Cotton Bowl. UT historian Tom Mattingly claims it was the only time in his career he sat in a silent press box. “We were all just stunned by Chuck’s great run. David Climer of the Tennessean eventually uttered ‘Oh my goodness!’ breaking the silence,” Mattingly said. Webb ended the game by cracking the 250-yard mark on the ground in the Cotton Bowl! Johnny Majors maintains that the Cleveland, Ohio, native is only running back from his coaching days worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Pitt’s Tony Dorsett. Webb’s career was cut short after a devastating knee injury in a September ’90 tune-up game versus Pacific. Adding irony to injury, Webb’s greatness ended on Neyland Stadium’s artificial surface in the first quarter in the open field. In that he did so much in so little time, Webb could be considered the James Dean of UT football. His great talent was enough of a carrot to allow the Green Bay Packers to draft Webb in the third round.

The "James Dean" thing is a pretty cool analogy no matter which side you chose

Well, true... there are those people out there. But I saw both play and I have no ax to grind with Jamal Lewis. But Webb was electric.

Its not a contest. Its discussion. Plus its annoying because I assume you've read what was previously discussed, but you quote me then randomly say I have no perspective, then want no part of it. Interesting.

Kind of hard to believe that Webb didn't catch a pass in 1989. Webb vs Lewis stats:

you were chirping about webb not being in the top 24 rushers or something and I was pointing out how little he had played. not that random at all. and now I officially want no part of your brilliant discussion. its been an awakening.

Johnny Majors said Chuck Webb is the only RB that he would put in the same sentence as Tony Dorsett that he has coached. The guy was special and that is not from being sentimental or nostalgic. I saw both play as well in person. Lewis was a great back but Webb was special. The Ole Miss game and the Cotton bowl (294 and 250) were some of greatest VOL performances at RB i have ever seen.

When you compared Lewis' freshman stats to Webb's, that is where you went wrong. Seemed like you were trying to be belligerent for no apparent reason.

Just relax, man...

I never did any direct stat comparison.

I posted that (a) I think Lewis was better and (b) its asinine to say Webb was much better than Lewis.

I'm perfectly calm.

Ok Jamal, time to get off the message boards and start prepping for the Browns game this weekend.:)

Also, while I did own a "Give the Ball to Jamal" shirt...I have no doubt that Chuck Webb is the greatest running back ever to suit up on The Hill.:rock:

OK... :good!:

We'll just have to agree to disagree with that. But I respect your opinion, nonetheless.
