Christian McCaffrey, Stanford
Meh, semantics. If you don't discriminate against receiving yards, he had more yards than O Henry. That was the poont.no_uh said:
You mean #AllPurposeYardsMatter? McCaffrey isn't even in the top 150 for receiving yards.dnc said:
#ReceivingYardsMatterno_uh said:
Henry has a slightly higher YPC than McCaffrey, only 20 more carries than McCaffrey, and 15 more rushing TDs. He also set the SEC rushing record while averaging over 1 YPC more than Herschel Walker on 70 less carries.Dennis_DeYoung said:If you gave me any one of these kids as a 'start from scratch' guy, I would pick #mydeshaun. He's the MVP out of these guys, but CM Punk White Bitch had the best year.
Henry is good, but runs behind a bunch of Goliaths and got a billion carries.
Regardless, all the finalists are actually worthy this year, which is nice. Really no reason to be upset no matter who wins. -
DeShaun Watson, ClemsonHere is the thing about McCaffrey: he racked up his yardage totals in blowouts including Colorado, OSU, Cal, a depleted UCLA, and Arizona.
You might say- of course, everyone puts up more stats in big wins that is why they were big wins.
But McCaffrey did worse than an average RB in Stanford's key/close games:
Northwestern
12 for 66, 5 for 23
(not a poor game but not much impact due to lack of opportunity.)
41-31 W @ USC
26 carries for 115, 3 receptions for 37.
USC gives up 4.0 yards per rush. Average at best output.
30-28 W @ WSU
22 for 107, 4 for 26
WSU gives up 5.0 ypr. Average at best.
38-36 L @ Oregon
33 for 147, 5 for 42
Oregon gives up 4.9 ypr Average at best.
38-36 W vs. ND
27 for 94, 3 for 19
Notre Dame gives up 4.5 ypr. Very poor.
Compare that to DeShaun who got better and more efficient as the season went on and carried his team against South and North Carolinas as the defense wore down and the running game fell apart.
Deshaun led his team to an undefeated season. If McCaffrey had more of an impact against Northwestern or Oregon (or WSU) maybe Stanford would be in the playoffs right now too.

DeShaun is awesome. -

Christian McCaffrey, StanfordHeisman seems to have lost a lot of its luster. I'd never even heard of Henry until October, but Bill went four years between watching more than a quarter of SEC games.
I used to watch it (the presentation show) really intently. Now I'll probably come across the winner on here or the gay MSN page. -
Christian McCaffrey, StanfordLavon Coleman could run for 1000 yards at Bama, just look at the backs that have cycled through there over the years.
@FremontTroll, did you forget his ass fucking of USC? -
Christian McCaffrey, StanfordBecause he'll be the first white non-QB since 1973 to win the award. That's progress.

This. McCaffrey is a better football player. You're a worthless fuck if you disagree.doogsinparadise said:Lavon Coleman could run for 1000 yards at Bama, just look at the backs that have cycled through there over the years.

Henry is a good college back and future plodder in the NFL. He's no different that Lacy or Yeldon, except Bama doesn't have a great back up RB like they normally do. -
