Blue vs Hill
Posted on 7/10/13 at 11:00 am

I noticed in another thread that people were arguing over who was better. I’m no expert but I reviewed all the Blue and Hill game highlights and Hill is definitely a more complete running back. I have been watching LSU since the 90s and I can’t remember a more NFL ready complete back that wasn’t arrested. I really like Blue as a player but he doesn’t quite have the complete blend of power, balance, and speed like Hill does. Blue is fast, has decent vision and is devastating on the stretch play but hill can do it all. Blue reminds me of a better version of Crazy Legs (RM). IMO FWIW

Blue is more of a power back than hill. Hill is just bigger. I think hill has better feet in the hole and is really more elusive and dangerous in space. Blue's physique is deceiving. He's got great top end speed, but his style is straight downhill and he looks to take on contact and finish runs.
Hill may be better at this than I'm giving him credit for, but I haven't seen him do it much. Mostly because he scoots out of traffic for big gains frequently.

Blue > JHill
Blue needs to get arrested. The best RB's are criminals.
See: OJ Simpson & Jeremy Hill

Agreed.
But there will be people that fight to the death about this because of the "Blue hasn't ran well against good competition."
If Blue stays healthy, dude's a fricking beast. Smoothest runner I've seen in a long time.

Blue is one of the most balanced backs we've had in a while. People don't give him enough credit

I'm not sure why this is on the recruiting board but NOT criticizing the topic which is a good one. Obviously MY opinions and comparisons:
There is a reason Houston Nutt (Ole Miss then) wanted Blue desperately. He is the reincarnation of Dexter McCluster and the McCallum guy at Ark. I think Houston Nutt is overrated as a recruiter and coach, but his judgments of RBs...second to none! Blue is shifty and faster than you think and find holes. Hill is more the Cecil Collins type with both power and speed and shifty enough.
Both RBs have something that was woefully lacking in Spencer Ware, Charles Scott, K Williams, Ford, and every other back since Hester left...that is the ability to "run to daylight". I like Blue WHEN 100% a little better than Hill but obviously either is a high caliber SEC starting RB. I honestly didn't think that way about C Scott or K Williams who too many times "ran into the pile" at the LOS instead of stepping 3 feet to the side where the hole ended up being.

Agree to disagree. They're not even close to the same type of back.

We should two back system blue and hill. Our running game would be unstoppable.

The coaches went into last season thinking Blue was better, not that that matters or anything.

I don't have a problem with that whatsoever.

Blue was good in one and a half games last season so he's the best back on the team. North Texas had a beast defense I tell you what.

Because Blue constantly showed that he is an incapable back.
You guys LOVE falling for flavors of the month.
How did Beckham's sophomore year turn out with all those drops?

Did I just go back in time on this board to pre-2012 season?
