re: Build your perfect RB...

You are not showing your age actually. You put one of the best power backs we have had in last 20 years as the most elusive back. Not someone who was actually known for that. I’ll leave the rest alone although there are head scratchers
I mean I’d define elusiveness as “break tackle ability” for the sake of this pointless thread. I get that some people consider it finesse, but we haven’t really had any finesse running backs in my lifetime that have been elite. You can elude someone by running over them and then past them, but queue up the know it all rantards to dice words so they can feel smarter

Start with keiland Williams calves then build on that

Doesn't matter as long as they have Keiland Williams's calves

I’d take Dalton Hilliard and add 5” in height and straight line speed...Perfect! You could do the same with Clyde.

Catching- Faulk best hands for a back I've seen.

I'm really confused why several people list LF7 with good vision. That's about his worst attribute. He basically plowed over people in college bc he could. Vision was and still isn't high on the list of what he does great.

Healthy in his prime Bo Jackson

You left off balance, which is very important.

Using only LSU rb's this is good. Elusiveness I would have said Guice/CEH. CEH with that spin move is nasty. Remember the Bama game ? Defender meets him in the backfield, he spins and darn near walks in for a td.

You're probably the only person who thinks that. Elusiveness is agility. The ability to change direction and leave defenders grasping at air.

Bo Jackson was a machine. Power, speed, size, he had everything.

Why don’t you explain why specifically you think Fournette had bad vision in college?
Fournette didn’t have horrible vision but if you are talking about his biggest flaw at LSU that was it. He was great at everything and his vision was just good.
Guice, Jeremy Hill, Clyde, Stevan Ridley are all guys off the top of my head that had better vision than Fournette.

lol what? Alley Broussard and elusive? Maybe for a fat 250 pound running back he was elusive but I think he preferred to just run mofos over.
Posted on 12/24/19 at 9:22 am to LSUgrad08112
I’m not gonna argue with you. You obviously will fit words that don’t fit and make sure they fit. Alley will tell you his elusiveness was not his strong suit much less greatest in LSU history lmao. Look up toney at UF. Elusive. Percy and guys like that. Try again bub

Hard to pick. Loved watching Addai and Faulk. CEH is like the best of both worlds, and he’s got as much tenacity as Fournette had. I don’t think Fournette would be as effective in this type of offense.
I will say that 2011 was the best stable of RBs I’ve seen.
