Is Derrick Henry the best RB you ever seen?

[Regular_P]

sure, but Emmitt was also a lot more talented AND had the unparalleled longevity.

like @mastermind said, Alexander was a great player and that mvp was deserved, but a lot of his production was more of his line doing work.

Henry also doesnt just have great produciton. Hes carrying the team on his back, enabling PA for his QB and he's doing it violently as fukk, trucking people and scoring long ass TDs. I'll admit people always will gravitate to a RB who bulldozes and trucks dudes over a finesse RB, unless its Marshall Faulk or Barry

no doubt and holmgren was great at putting an offense together. but he gets shyt on for being trash. the numbers he put up for 3 or 4 years in his prime were

What's always gonna be held against Alexander is that as soon as Hutchinson left, his career flatlined. Went from 1,880 yards and 27 TDs on 5.1 Y/A to 3.6 Y/A the very next season. You can say injuries but those holes weren't there either.

Notice not one person has mentioned Terrell Davis in here. @murksiderock his years 2-4 are as good as anybody when you go by the numbers and his team won two straight Super Bowls with him putting up ungodly playoff stats.

But everyone also realized after he tore his ACL and never recovered that the Denver line/blocking scheme was the main reason for his numbers. Every RB after him was still putting up monster stats: Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Clinton Portis (look at the drop in his Y/A once he got to Washington), Ruben Droughns, Tatum Bell, Selvin Young. Basically anyone with a pulse was putting up huge numbers in Denver if they got the carries.

Forgot to @ that bozo @smitty22 to say Hutch deserved Alexander's MVP in 2005.

Fred Taylor, Barry Sanders, LT, Edgrin James, Y’all just say anything lol

Fred

He's a top-five RB talent that I've seen live. Had power, speed and moves. Honestly think I'd only put Barry and AD ahead of him on pure talent...might be even with AD. Got labeled with that Fragile Fred tag early in his career and got overlooked for a decade. Dude seemed to be on the injury report every week for his groin.

If he woulda landed in Denver, New England or Seattle, he woulda been a Hall of Famer. Still averaged 4.6 Y/A for his career.

[Rigby.]

Thats lazy. All you had to do was watch “him” instead of giving life to some corny Bama players are all born the same.

You arguing should versus what it was back then breh

it’s different now, in part to Henry beating expectations

 

[CrimsonTider]

I’ve seen Earl Campbell truck through more guys than Henry on a single run for 15 yards.

Grandpa?

 

[Arris]

Pound for pound nick Chubb is better

 

[Cladyclad]

Not even top 20

Nah, I just watched a lot of NFL Network's Top 10 episodes growing up.

The thing that makes Henry so special, due to him being 6'3" 240 it doesn't look like he's running that fast but before you know it he's outrunning secondaries
