To be fair, Jamal blew his knee out and came back just the same.

Jamal did not play nearly as well in '99 as he did in '97. Whether he was protecting himself for the pro's, or whether he was regaining his form is debatable, but he was not the stud after the injury he was before - at least while at Tennessee.

I loved Jamal, he was a monster, but Chuck Webb was better IMO.

I didn't mean that in a bad way but had an ACL done in 95 and the other in 06 and it was amazing the difference in pain and rehab time. I just think there would have been a big change. Maybe I'm wrong

Surgery and medical technology is certainly better than it was 10 years previous, but looking at not only the physical speciman Lewis was but also his career resume, to say Chuck Webb cannot hold his jockstrap (ie not even in the same league) is laughable. To say Webb was just mearly better is questionable, but its not out of the realm of possibility, but comical still the same, considering Lewis could likely wear a yellow blazer coat in a few years.

chuck webb is the one player i have always wondered what could have been. i never really knew what to think when he just dropped out of school after his injury. definitely had the potential to be one of the top 3 backs in ut history:no:

I've watched about 10 games lately of which Lewis played and let me tell you, he was better when he was a freshman. He never looked the same after his injury. I remember him almost making a 1000 runs but he would get tripped up at the line. His freshman year, he made those big runs. I've watched both live and Chuck Webb was a better overall running back. Jamal is a bruiser and chuck had the speed, agility, and the ability to lower his head if he nedded to. Don't get me wrong, Lewis will probably be remembered as the best freshman running back to play at UT, but I'd rather have Webb.

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.

I like Lewis as a player and a Vol but the Hall of Fame won't be jumping at the chance to put a convicted felon who served jail time in the middle of his career in the midst of all the other busts displayed in Canton.

Chuck Webb was the greatest Vol RB I ever saw. Had he not gotten hurt he would be at the top of all the UT records.

The Cobb-Webb was also one of the SEC's greatest RB tandems. Watching them you always felt either one had the potential to score on any play.

Amen to that... And all these media folks blathering about McFadden & Jones. I'd take the Cobb-Webb attack any day.

I can tell you from first hand experience that ACL surgery gained 100 years of sophistication in only 10 years...and furthermore, no matter how good the surgeon, there is always the unknown of how the patient will recover and progress after surgery. Chucks injury was only 10 years behind Jamal....but light years in technology.

Chuck sustained another knee injury while with Green Bay. From what i have read on other forums, he did not want to go through another rigorous rehab.

Too bad some entrepeneur didn't think about that a month or so before the game. Would've been hard core to see the stadium filled with Cobb-Webb t shirts for the Arky game.
