Why are you laughing, Alabamya? Are you illiterate? Did you miss the "=/=" before that phrase? He was specifically saying that Richardson isn't a scat back. Your reading comprehension is scat-alogical.

And believe it or not, he's not as strong. if you look at their power lifting numbers richardson's are far and a way stronger.




I can't wait until they include the clean-jerk in goal line situations.

sorry, but if you go look at the numbers.. he's kind of right.
Richardson got the benefit of 3 (at least)chump games to boost his numbers too.

Didn't define him but put his butt on the bench. Thought he never went down on first contact, Especially not sideways.

Ware goes to class; Richardson doesn't.

Wait, or is it Ware has class and Richardson doesn't.

If you're not basing your "stronger" claims on power lifting numbers, what are you basing them on? It can't be play on the field because TR is nothing if not powerful there.

TR is not splitting time with 3 other exceptional backs. Their numbers will not be comparable. Ware will probally be balling on Sundays. One day he may get to replace his upcoming BCS championship ring with a superbowl ring. Now excuse me while I finish off my purple Kool Aid.

I'd ask Patrick Peterson. He didn't seem all that impressed with Richardson last year. Of course he didn't see him anymore after he stuffed him on the goalline.

PP would do the same to Ware. Prob one of the reasons he got drafted where he did

Against the same opponent (UF), Richardson's number were not that much better than Ware's:

Carries/Yds/TD/Ave/Lng
SW: 24 109 2 4.5 18

TR: 29 181 2 6.2 36

I'm basing it on the way he runs. I think that Ware runs a little stronger than Richardson. It's really not THAT hard to comprehend, even with a Gump education. Again, nobody is calling Richardson a scat back, but you are acting like Richardson is better at every facet of the game than every other back in America.

I'm not on a Gump board acting surprised that everyone doesn't agree that the Honey Badger is the best defensive back to play college ball since Ed Reid.

I think richardson is a better "running" back. he's got more speed, good vision, and very powerful.

I think ware is a better "all purpose" back. he catches the ball well, he blocks well, he run's well, has good power and vision. if he had richardson's speed. well, he'd be better than richardson.

so, the comments come down to speed. however, ware is an n.f.l. back and so is richardson. therefore, they are in the same class. They just have different talents.

it's like saying lesean mccoy isn't in the same class as A.P. at the end of the day, they are both very productive backs for their team.

Exactly, Ware may not put up as good as numbers as Richardson, but you combine Ware's numbers with two other pretty good backs, like Ford and Blue. I'll take our trio over Richardson.

November 5th can't get here soon enough!
