I think Chubb was better than Walker. 

:smiley_confused1:
Maybe, but what made Walker so special was his volume.  He was a one-man offense.
Chubb always got to split carries with another good back.  Gurley, then Michel.  Those were great, 6 ypc guys to lighten the load.  Chubb averaged 220 carries a year, taking out the year he got hurt.
Walker averaged 330.  No one effective behind him to give him a breather. 
So while his ypc are pedestrian for an all-time great RB, no SEC RB could match his production, even as a 3-year guy.
No one in the conference even approached him...McFadden got the closest.
And the argument could be made no one in the country did....until Mr. Jonathan Taylor. 
People care too much about highlights.  Just run the damn ball and get the damn yards.  Then do it again and again and again.  That's greatness.

43 years later, he's still the SEC's all-time leading rusher......in a 3-year career.

It's broken and stupid.  Wow.

One thing I look at is "tough yards", did the back get YAC, could he avoid tackles, or run through them, could he be relied on to get two yards consistently.

Timmy!!!

No doubt Walker was great, for me personally, for one game against an elite team, I'd take Nick Chubb.

Who is getting the other 12 carries he's not in?

One Cleveland Brown I really gave a crap about.Grinder until the end never went down unless guys wrapped up.You win Championships with guys like that. I'm sure the same could be said about Herschel

Here's the play that ended it for NC

Ask the coach who decided to share the load
