For this game only what would you rather have?

Who would you rather for the year?

Ours. Backups in case Richardson goes down.

I'd rather have the flexibility of a stable of running backs and the security that all my eggs are not in one basket. Different running backs with different but complimentary styles gives you more options in play calling. It allows you to go with whoever has the hot hand in a particular game (or whoever matches up better against the defense). It forces the defense to prepare for more types of threats. This has been a trend in the NFL for 5 years or so because of all these reasons and also because there are only so many Adrian Petersons or Trent Richardsons to go around.

Bama has more than one back. Lacy and Fowler aren't garbage. Still waiting to see what Dee Hart has, too bad he got injured.

Lsu by a landslide ... Our backs are only getting started with huge potential to improve and only get better. Ware is already in same class as TR imo. Factor in Ford,blue,hillard,magee. We are loaded and they all produce. Very nice group of backs who are very talented and very young. Our future is bright.

I don't think TR has time to learn our system between now and Nov 5th

TR is the best back in the conference (with Lattimore out). We badly wanted him here.

Having said that, I like our corps over TR because of the offense we use. We have different guys with different wrinkles. Changing backs is like running from a different formation, at least the defense has to adjust to it.

With the emergence of Hilliard as a legitmate threat to carry from the TB position, I definitely take our corps over TR.

tr has a great "backup" in the form of lacy. i do like what we've got for a season but it's hard for me to say i wouldn't want tr on our team for one game.

For one game? Give me Trent. For an entire season, I'd have to go with depth at the position.

Don't they only have him for 5 more games? I would much rather have the stable.

Richardson is damn good, though.

For any given game, Richardson.

For a season or multiple seasons? LSU's stable.

I haven't read through all the responses, but the better question to ask for the game this year is would you rather have 2 senior qb's with a shite ton of big game experience and have the ability to hit the deep pass, or AJ McCarron?

Option A, please.
