Gurley is the better back... Yeldon just plays behind one of the best OL in cfb history

Not a crazy statement anymore, though I don't believe it will be true by the end of their careers. Gurley is a starter and has had more opportunity to shine, Yeldon is more talented from top to bottom as a RB, IMO.
We'll see.

Sure...

Just like I told the other guy who said that....you cant hold that against Bama. They go out and recruit those guys and develop them

So when a QB has good passing numbers its only cause he has better receivers?? Stupid statement that Yeldon is better cause Oline.
Both back are very good and should have nice college careers.

Football is a team sport so of course one unit will benefit from another unit being elite.. your post is just, dumb

my earlier statement holds true. I am well aware its a team sport...the basis was just cause he has a better oline. and yes better supporting cast will help and individual, never said that wasnt the case, where did you get that.
Please let me know where you are confused..Said both are very good backs

Yeah he's pretty freaking good but scoring on a screen after the whole D blitzed and left him wide open hardly makes him that much better.

How about almost 7 yards per carry against LSU's D?

Hmmmm....looks like a close race with Yeldon maybe even a little ahead, and Yeldon isn't even the "starter".
Just file this next to the rest of the annual UGA arguments of "Our player is better than yours!". Let's see, past arguments have included:
AJ> Julio (probably, but both are studs)
Rennie Curran> Rolando McClain (HA!)
They have so much penis envy for Bama. The good thing is, we will probably get to see Yeldon and Gurley go heads up in Atlanta. Gurley is a monster for sure, but so is Yeldon. This argument is extremely premature.

I would as well. Yeldon has a lot of potential. but needs work. He doesn't keep his feet moving and he doesn't keep the ball tucked.

I haven't seen Yeldon run with power and he carries the ball away from his body too much.
