    I respect your opinion on everything - even if I see a different side of it. I only show the numbers for people to maybe rethink how much context/situation affected things. We all have the benefit of hindsight, and it's ok to rethink things. - Look at the numbers above - Were each RB's...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    I think South Florida players are the best in the country. The trick is to get the right ones, which we haven't been doing for a while. At least not near enough of the right ones. But no question the fanbase will be more forgiving to a South Florida player than an out of state player. And...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    I agree - ALL RB's the last 10+ years have been good college RB's - so I don't want to act like they're not. But there's distinctly different talent levels. Lumping them all together as "NFL Talents" isn't really fair. Our 3 Tiers for both College & NFL ability are: Tier 1 - NFL...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    I'll never understand why Walton's 2017 was seen as him BEASTING instead of it just being par for the course? 2015 Joe Yearby (First 4 games) - 4.9 ypc at end of the year 58-424 yds - 7.3 ypc - 4 TD 2016 Mark Walton (First 4 games) - 5.3 ypc at end of the year 63-445 yds - 7.1 ypc - 8 TD 2017...

    Yes, Richt chose Walton over Gus and Yearby. He would've chosen Walton over anyone no matter what. That's the point. Just look at the stats. I've asked you 6 questions below. I put your over/under at 2 for answering them. Going into 2016, here were their career stats: Yearby - 291-1,511...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    No I understand what you're saying, and I think it's definitely a fair point. But how do you quantify that, you know? Like - would you say getting 5 carries in the 4th quarter vs an 8 win team in is more of an advantage than getting 5 carries in the 1st half vs a 2 win team? But your points...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    Here's the % of Carries, Yds, TD's in their career at JUST MIAMI cam against Non-P5, P5, Top 25 teams: It's almost exactly the same - but you keep saying over and over how they're not. This isn't about winning or losing an argument - the numbers just are what they are. Also, when you say...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    You were the first to make the Walton vs Gus straight up in 2017 - not me. But when I did, it shows Walton was still no better vs P5 than Gus. Which is my whole point. What I am comparing is their stats as a whole against P5 teams: Vs P5 Walton - 283-1,081 yds, 3.8 ypc, 11 TD's - Scored a TD...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    Again - I'm fine if you think Walton is a better RB. I don't agree that Walton was MUCH better - and I don't agree with the lack of consistency in the arguments you're making. Walton vs Choc - You say I cherry pick stats, but then you say- "Go back and look at those game logs from 2015" -...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    Walton played 22 games against Power 5 teams. He was good in 3. He was somewhere between ok and bad in 19. But the 3 out of 22 good games came in a row - so for some reason he's judged just on those 3 instead of all 22. The inability of the fanbase to see that Walton was an average RB who...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    2 questions for you: Georgia Leading Rushers under Richt: Group 1 - Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, Knowshon Moreno, Isaiah Crowell Group 2 - Verron Haynes, Musa Smith, Michael Cooper, Kregg Lumpkin, Washaun Ealey, Thomas Brown (who started over Moreno) 1) Which group do you think Mark...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    With the benefit of hindsight - a couple questions for you Do you think Walton was really good in college? Or looking back, do you think he was overrated? Like - do you think Walton was much better than Gus in college and definitely should have been a high draft choice? Or do you think...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    That's totally fair - I just see it differently. Walton being better than Gus in college is the popular opinion. My opinion was always they're close but I prefer Gus. Yes, Walton missed 9 games due to injury in 3 years at Miami. Gus missed 20 games due to injury in his first 3 years. Yes...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    Yup - Gus had all the advantages, while Walton had all the disadvantages. Sure. That's Walton Whining 101. Let me know when you'd like to take the Master Class.

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    You're right it isn't apples to apples - but again, not in the way that you think Vs Top 25 opponents: Walton - 71-220 yds, 3.1 ypc, 0 TD. Against 7 Top 25 teams, he never averaged over 3.5 ypc in any game Gus - 80-255 yds, 3.2 ypc, 1 TD. Against 8 Top 25 teams, he averaged over 4.0 ypc in...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    Yeah - I mean, I get the South Florida and ranking bias - it makes sense. But it was taken to such an extreme with hating on Gus while simultaneously overhyping Yearby and later Walton to a point that never made sense if you just watched them play.

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    Again, it's a perception vs reality thing. This isn't aimed at you DTP - I'm just looking at how the narratives sometimes don't match the reality. Narrative - Walton has a nose for the end zone was great in short yardage, and Gus was terrible. Reality - Gus was as good or better in those...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    Safe to say Richt used Gus in very weird ways. Examples: Blowouts vs FAMU, FAU, App St: Walton - 48 carries Yearby - 35 carries Gus - 11 carries FAU - Yearby had 20 carries, Walton 16, Gus 0 in a 20 pt blowout. Why? Why so many carries for your lead RB and so little for the backup in...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    I agree Gus was a an average RB and didn't do anything to indicate he'd be a "special talent" in the NFL. - But Gus was the same level of talent as Walton/Yearby/Martin - and you're saying all 3 were better than Gus. - You're saying Gus underachieved in college, but given he was the #681...

    GUS EDWARDS $$$$$

    - Martin had a 5.2 ypc at Rutgers & Gus had a 5.3 ypc at Miami (before Gus transferred). - Martin had a 4.5 ypc at Rutgers & Gus had a 4.3 ypc at Rutgers (when they were on the same team). It looks very similar to me. If you're going to say - Martin's 5.2 ypc at Rutgers was better than Gus's...
