LOL another Cook supporter..

He plays in the ACC..


Yup...with this year's FSU offense against an SEC West schedule, Cook would not last the year with a workhorse's carries. The guy has already been injured this season.

If you don't think Dalvin could run on Auburn, Eastern Michigan, or South Carolina, I don't know what to tell you. He's not some scrub off a farm in Montana. He was rated the #2 RB behind Fournette, from Miami.

C'mon man. Cook is an absolute monster. I'd trade him for Henry right now.

Cook is a monster, but he's not destroying souls like Fournette. Leonard is straight up bitching dudes out there.

LF is still remembered by the media as the guy that ran over Auburn. Showed great speed and then crushed defenders that attempted to tackle him. Multiple times....


What does the OL have to do with that????? That's individual shite right there.

By my count, it's 18 souls to Fournette...Cook, 15.

Two people read what I wrote and somehow get out of it "Cook is not good." Did I say that? Read it again.

I am saying that Cook is not durable enough. The greatness of Fournette is that he is a true workhorse with no weaknesses. No running back compares to him in CFB. Period.

Want to give the Heisman to Boykin over him if he keeps playing great and leads TCU to a 12-0? That's a different story.

Add in the S Carolina donation bit and he gets the sentimental Tebow requirement as well.

Then you have to add in all the time that LF could have gotten more carries as well. Sitting out a half vs S Carolina and could have easily gotten 200 yards for 4 games in a row.

Cook had less yards this past weekend than LF but you hear about how great of a game he had while LF had a "slow night"

Fair enough, but Cook seems durable to me. He's got a hammy. I wouldn't call that injury prone or not durable. And hell, he's playing with it. Dude dishes out just as much punishment as he takes, too.

I like Cook. He'll be a good pro.

Would anyone take Cook for LF7?

Dabo claims he would.

In all honestly I am surprised he didn't say because he beat LSU.

If I could reach through this monitor, I'd strangle that guy with my bare hands. It's this simple, if you have a list of Heisman candidates without LF7 on it, you don't need to be talking about a Heisman race because you are fricking retarded. That article might be the biggest pile of shite I've ever read. It's obvious he hasn't seen a single LSU game this year. People who see Fournette run don't talk about his stats, because they don't have to, the plays he makes are unreal. It's literally the improved 2nd coming of The Honeybadger, but on offense.

I know most of us give credit to other great players, and Dalvin is a superstar. But, where was this narrative before Dabo said something? If anyone other than Fournette wins the Heisman, I'll be lugubrious.

The one thing I hate about the Heisman is it's become such a media driven thing now. One bad game and they will be trashing him. He's one of the best to ever play for lsu and with half a season to go anything can happen. I hope he wins but I also remember what happened to Geno Smith at West Va

If they were telling the truth? Probably not.
