KD put up much better numbers than Trent did last year
Davis wasn't playing in the same backfield as the previous heisman winner.

Richardson is clearly the best RB in the country. The other RBs are good but they are no where near Trent Richardson good

I don't find that very relevant. Against the same teams, KD had a much higher average YPC and more TD's.

It took 10-20 away from Richardson last year. TR Stats KD stats Knile Davis had a higher YPC average by .2 yards. Thats not very much. He did have 13 touchdowns compared to Trent Richardson's 6 but Mark Ingram stats also had 13. Therefore taking away from Trent Richardson.

LMJ is an elite runningback. Make no mistakes about it. However, in the read option since your taking the handoff in the shotgun, an elite runningback is useless if the dline is in the backfield.

He is as quick as we've had and that includes a pretty good lineup.

That guy turned it on the second half of last season and is capable of running roughshod over any team.

Yeah, but he won't be surprising anyone this season.

I mainly say Davis because of the way he thrashed us last year. I watched him and Trent both run plenty, and they are both awesome. However, I give a slight edge to Davis.

James is by far the most dangerous and will have the most yards against us.

Davis won't look near as good with a weaker passing game and a few new linemen.

We can stack the box on Trent and dyer.

Id say

James
Davis
Trent
Dyer

Trent. IMO he is BETTER than Ingram. With TR being bamas featured back, and a 1st year starting QB, look out. Heisman.

Gotta go with Richardson.

And as another poster said I would put Lattimore on top IF we played them in the SEC championship.

A healthy Trent Richardson is the best of the bunch.

Richardson by far and then Davis Dyer is a toss up! LMJ in my opinion is the same as Noel Devine that could not get around the end of our DLine. We have a very fast defense and the small speedy backs are not that big of a threat getting around the outside to us. If you remember Noel was supposed to tear us up, but he couldn't out leg our defensive ends " Sam Montgemery wasn't hurt then". Not to mention we added more speed to our linebackers this year. Of course the Oregon posters would think that LMJ would be the biggest threat, but they can't grasp the speed of the SEC Defenses!!

What Oregon poster said that LMJ was the best of the four? I mentioned that he is an elite runningback with speed and acceleration. I would pick Richardson. However, I would put LMJ over Dyer and Davis. LMJ ran for 1700 yards last year and carried the ball too much. He was not running at full speed by the time we played UW. This year with a loaded backfield, his distribution should be better.
