Better Pro RB: Scott or Keiland

Cue LSUballs to say Richard Murphy.

Better pro potential? Definitely keiland

both will be solid pros though

How many times does this have to be said?

It's just another HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION!!!

They have to get there first

Anybody's guess. Scott will most likely look more impressive in the college game (mostly because he seems to be getting most of the reps), but both have the tools necessary to be impressive in the pros (different sets of tools, but both effective). The difference will be in things you can't see from the stands (or the television) in the college game, like adjusting to the next level, injuries, stamina in a 16+ game season, etc. Right now it would be a coin toss, imo.

ETA: Also, where they are drafted will play a huge role as well. If one goes to Indiannapolis or New England, and the other goes to Houston or Oakland, it might seriously impact who has the "better" pro career.

Scott by a mile.

Keiland takes too long to hit the holes and his vision isn't good.

I was trying to think of who Charles Scott reminds me of as a RB, although he has his own unique style. He sort of reminds me of a cross between 3 old school RBs - a little bit Earl Campbell, Franco Harris & John Riggins. A lot of people use Campbell for power back comparisons, maybe too much. I personally keep coming back to Riggins circa 1978, 1979 & then 1983 the most, on the way to the Superbowl. Riggins really moved the chains. Although I think Scott has a lot more shake & bake.


Keiland is much more difficult to nail down. There is something about his running that reminds me of Cedric Cobbs. It's a stutter-step or a type of hesitation step before hitting the hole. Other times, he looks great. It's frustrating, because you can almost see how good KW could be, but isn't yet. I really do hope he has worked through that this year & has a big season. He's stuck it out & been a great asset to the team. I also like the fact that KW & Scott are very good at catching out of the backfield.
