They're both good backs. Both strong, both fast. If you can't look at Chubb and tell he's a better back right now there's no convincing you otherwise (not you in particular, just anyone)

Could Fournette become better? Absolutely, but right now he isnt. And as you see saying LF7 is bigger and faster is also a myth. Fournette is taller. Chubb is a bowling ball. They can both fly. Chubb has better vision and breaks tackles more consistently, though I think his vision helps that. Chubb avoids contact and breaks the tackle when it happens, fournette initiates contact and often punishes the defender but gets tackled in the process. That's the differnce right now, but that difference can decide rather a run goes for 4 yards or 70

They'll both be in the discussion preseason, from there it will depend on both personal and team performance.
