Henry is amazing. But not sure where the negativity toward a Colorado kid who is equally, if not more, amazing comes from. It’s like saying that Chauncey Billups can’t hold a jock strap for Steve Nash. Thus Matt Stone and Trey Parker get to take you down.

How exactly does one "hold a jock strap" to someone?Henry is amazing. But not sure where the negativity toward a Colorado kid who is equally, if not more, amazing comes from. It’s like saying that Chauncey Billups can’t hold a jock strap to Steve Nash. Thus Matt Stone and Trey Parker get to take you down. Perhaps a bout of pink eye.

I'm guessing it involves holding them down...

Gotta admit, I’m with Flounder on this one. Derrick Henry > CMC.
Henry is both a workhorse and a home run hitter. Has more 50+ rushes than anyone other than Peterson and Sanders, but he also grinds out tough yards like Emmitt Smith. He also rarely fumbles (at a rate lower than any other HOF running back). I imagine he will finish his career in the top ten career rushing yards if he puts together two more decent seasons. That seems likely at this point based on trajectory with the Ravens.

the board bows down to the mccaffery family, even though they never sent a football player to CU
You know where they sent one of their boys?
. To Lincoln.
Do you root for a family who allows their offspring to go to Nebraska, when they are allegedly a COLORADO KID
I don’t.
I also didn’t bring Derrick Henry into this conversation. Some other bum did. I just provided an alternative perspective.

That's cool. Not sure that makes CMC a certified bum, but that's just like your opinion man.

Best ability is availability, and if you ain’t on the field, your value is ZERO. So this year CMC has been BUM.
My entire point was CMC did not deserve the Heisman for breaking Barry’s record, just like Jeanty doesn’t deserve the heisman for breaking Barry’s record. There were two better performers.
Henry and Hunter > CMC and Jeanty

Tad Boyle went to Kansas. What are you gonna do?

@mods let’s get this mess cleaned up.
Bringing in basketball to a thread discussing college football and our bowl projections is just wildly inappropriate
If breaking the record wasn't historic and important, why it is that same record brought up to support the greatness of Barry Sanders (who was the ****ing greatest ever).
Hunter is doing something we haven't seen ever, and so did CMAC at the time. I hate to say it, but there is more comparisons to their impact to their teams and the game as a whole compared to passer with most tds or RB with a bunch of yards and tds who does nothing else.

Indeed. Different type of player, but also great. Flounder calling him a bum compared to Henry is a heavy dose of hyperbole. I evaluate statements by certain members of Allbuffs on a curve; Flounder certainly being one of them.

CMC had 13 TDs that season.
8 rushing 5 receiving.
Derrick Henry had 28 TDs that season.
28 rushing 0 receiving.
both players led their teams to a conference title.
Let’s look at the competition each player played against.
13 TDs against THAT pac-12.
Not heisman worthy.

Were they both running behind similar quality offensive lines?
FLounder

I think it allows us to reflect on the inner machinations of our minds.
Counterpoint: Derrick Henry had worse stats then Melvin Gordon yards and tds in the 2014 season Kevin Smith in the 2007 season.
So using your logic from above
Melvin Gordon > Kevin Smith > Derrick Henry

Stanford had arguably a top 3 offensive line that year.
Do you not remember Harbaugh stacking 4&5star OL recruits for years?
I can fix this. Make him pun

I was a big fan of Melvin.
But he ran into the Oregon Marcus Mariota Buzz saw.
Phil knight bought that heisman cause he couldn’t win it for Joey in the early 2000’s.
Kevin smith was running against FCS competition.
Also finished eighth in voting.
The most Legendary season of all time. 2007.
