but stupid crap like this just needs to stop. It has gotten out of control.

gracious...go change your tampon, out of control? It's freakin' fan message board.

you're right though, people need to stop posting hypothetical comparison threads designed to tear down certain LSU players they don't like.

I think McFadden is one of the top 5 players in the country...I posted a question on how he would do behind LSU's line, the Arky guy said he would succeed anywhere, and I countered with the MSU stat...it's call debate.

my bad fore lSU..I didnt see the whole thing.

LSU's line isn't bad, its the fact that they have the worst schemes that hurt them. If they ran the ball outside and used the speed guys like KW and Charles Scott and even Trindon Holliday they would fare much better. The proble is the run Alley and Vincent all the time and usually right up the gut.

I know some of you are the most "all knowing" sports minds but there are reasons why players like McFadden and Irons have better careers than others. Take a look at some of these players in High School. In High School they were the featured back and had the hell run out of them. They put up ridiculous numbers and then go to a college like LSU that has a more balanced attack and don't seem to set the world on fire. Other's are made to LOOK more talented because they have more opportunity. This is a fact. Mcfadden would be just another back on the LSU team if he was having to trade playing time. I saw him play in High School and he was no more talented than Keiland Williams or Charles Scott were in High School. Also, how many of these "big time" backs have come out of similar situation, gone to a passing team in the NFL and have been just "average"? Mcfadden is good but I would not trade for Hester because he is a good team leader (this is an intangible that many players don't have) and I most certainly would not trade KW's talent potential nor even entertain the stupid comment that someone made about trading Early Doucet. How have we gone from having the "MOST TALENT IN THE SEC" to suddenly having a bunch of second rate talent that we would trade 3 or 4 to ONE for an ARKANSAS player. Thank God some of you are not coaches on our team because you are willing to trade an excellent Athlete in Early Doucet (5* that was one of the best players in the country coming out of high school and will play on Sundays), Charles Scott who has so much upside that he may have some of you screaming Heisman in the next couple of years and Keiland Williams who is another 5* with tremendous upside given an opportunity. McFadden is good but this talk is just RIDICULOUS!

IMO mcfadden was overrated in h.s. but thats just me.

My god, can you people not read? I was not referring just to Hester. And no, I would not trade Hester for him because we have other talented backs that can take up the slack. I wish we could put our backs in Nutt's scheme and let them prove me right. Arkansas has always had good rushers and even Matt Jones was setting the world on fire because of the blocking his line gave. Take away that line and Jones would have gotten sacked repeatedly.
