Hey dude.... Go screw yourself homer.,I doubt you ever saw Walker play. Btw how am I being negative??????

I saw Walker play. I run he was better than LF.

Before anyone gets pissed about that, it is NOT intended as a slight. Watching Walker was an absurdity. The fact LF is even DISCUSSED in the same sentence is a huge compliment. LF is the real deal.

One thing I hope is that LF has a better fate.

The two best SEC RBs of my lifetime were Jackson and Walker. And both met unfortunate NFL fates. Some younger fans may think that looking at NFL stats, those weren't as great as talked about.

That would be wrong. They were athletic absurdities. Both were legit NCAA sprinters and big.

Walker got supremely fricked by the dumbest NFL trade short of the Ricky Williams trade. Jackson had a freak injury.

LF is in their class. I hope he plays in a better place.

All of the measurables of Herschel and LF are similar. Saying that he is better based on your recollections and opinions of yore just doesn't make sense. We can all go back and watch old games and watch them run.

Many of us have seen those games dozens of times over. The fact of the matter is you can put the films alongside each other (as has been done) and there is little or no objective difference in athletic ability.

The point that I and others are trying to make here is that LF has been as good if not better versus better opponents/athletes. And there really isn't any debate about that.
