Both Ridley and Ingram play in spread style NFL teams with elite QBs and Ridley looks like a much better RB by far in their 1st year.
based on what? 25 carries for 161 1 TD against 62 for 216 and 2 TDs. yes, ridley's ypc are higher, but ingram has been given the ball on goal line and short yardage situations. green-ellis gets those carries for the patriots still.

Says the Gump. Richardson is more proven. Ware runs stronger. Richardson runs faster.

TR is just better. It really isn't debatable either

I think he has proven himself more and does indeed have better breakaway burst, but to imply that speed /shiftiness defines how good a back is ignores the entire history of football. They are different backs in different offensive systems.
Sure, Trent Richardson is better, but the hyperbole of the statement is what most are taking issue with.

they really arent different nor are they in much different offensive systems.
both are big powerful backs. Richardson does just about all Ware does just slightly better.

sorry, but if you go look at the numbers.. he's kind of right.
If I had to start a team from scratch I'd take TR over Ware...but not by much. In this case, the numbers lie. TR gets to play late into games when the other defense is softened up. He runs through big holes and gets big yardage. Ware is generally on the bench watching Ford or Blue get the easy carries after ware has softened them up. I really like TR's speed but when there's no hole he goes down just like every other back. Slightly better but same class as Ware.

Okay, Lester. You're right.

yes true, but TR does everything Ware does and in addition is faster and shiftier. He's one of the strongest backs in the country as well. Like someone else said, he probably is the best back in cfb since a peterson. again it's not a slight against ware, richardson is just that good.

I am aware of this, thank you.

Who gives a shite, either way?
Both are obviously good. I'm fine with TR being deemed "better" than SW if we win the game.

We can go back and forth all day, but I truly believe that Ware is a stronger back than TR in the way that he runs. Like you say, not a slight against Richardson.
However, you keep on with the hyperbole. Sure, he's probably the best back in the nation. Are you really trying to tell me that Marcus Lattimore doesn't even belong on the same field with him?

There's a few people in here that seem to be under the impression that TR is a "shifty, speed back that goes down easily". I'm not going to take those of you saying this seriously.

I'm not even beginning to say that. However, he's also not the second coming of Adrian Peterson.
Ware is stronger runner =/= Richardson is a scat back
Just like saying that Richardson is faster doesn't mean that Ware is a glorified fullback.
Posted on 10/10/11 at 2:35 pm to Jester
I just get the impression that you and maybe a couple of others haven't seen TR play much. He is the epitome of a power runner. That is what he's known for. He drags defenses down the field. He can squat a church bus. He just happens to also posses breakaway speed.

I don't see what the problem is.
Trent Richardson is in a different class. He's a freak. We would've given anything to get him out of HS. He's an Adrian Peterson like, blend of size, strength, speed and vision.
He'll likely be one of the better backs in the NFL when he goes.
I don't see why people want to quibble over dumb things. Ware is a very talented back who will play on Sundays. But he doesn't have the top gear that richardson does. And believe it or not, he's not as strong. if you look at their power lifting numbers richardson's are far and a way stronger.
Does that mean Alabama is gonna beat LSU? frick no.
But Richardson is a better back overall.

This is a retarded argument, you don't have identical OL's therefore, you have no ideas how each other would do behind the others OL.
But, if you do want to compare RB's, watch the difference in their contributions in NOV.

I'd ask Patrick Peterson. He didn't seem all that impressed with Richardson last year. Of course he didn't see him anymore after he stuffed him on the goalline.

Peterson was able to hit Richardson as he ran sort of sideways.
