No the guy that just scored 6 touchdowns in 1 game and tied the record..

Versus the guy who just joined an elite club of single-digit 2K rushing yards. And?

Versus the guy who breaks off 90 yard runs like it's nothing when the other's longest run is 70 yards.


Versus the guy who can get 200+ yard games just running when everybody know its coming?

different types of offenses :ld: Derrick Henry being a great running back works for that particular team, if he played on most other teams those numbers would be reduced, you can at least agree on that ? :ld: where as Kamara would be great on any team

im not saying he isnt great, im just saying if i had to draft Kamara or Henry right now, today, im going with Kamara :manny:

you see the type of lanes his line create for him¿

son is gonna be eating as long as he stays healthy

I only said that because compared to the other great running backs, he’s not visibly as fast so I wonder if age will show quicker in him. Like....I’d wager a 32 yo AD was probably as fast as Henry is now. I just wonder how Henry is going to look when he’s 31, 32, 33. Most likely he’ll be fine.

he'll still be bigger than most linebackers & all dbs so as long as his line keeps getting him right into that portion of defenses he's gonna feast ha*

No it wouldn't. His talent is his talent.

He was instant NFL offense the second he left HS.

What other teams? Examples? You don't think his style translates? Lol


Cuz a RB at the end of the day. A running back.

But he MIA :sas1:

Prime Marshall wouldve been on this list plus still got his REC yards.




I'd take him as the 1st slot receiver off the board though :ehh:

He’s only had 2 years of pure dominance, strictly as a RB his peak is definitely comparable to Peterson. shyt he’s the only guy since AD since 06 to have B2B rushing titles. If he can have at least 2 more years after this of 1200+ with a similar impact on his team the conversation will be very interesting .. especially in this almost disgustingly Pass Happy era we’re in , it’s mad impressive but dude needs to have at least 10,000 rushing yards to be considered as one of the greatest.

To be that size ( :dame: ) his Vision and speed coming out the backfield is up there with who I’ve ever seen but we’ve seen hella RBs over the years have crazy 3 year runs from guys like Priest Holmes who aren’t all timers, so I need like 3 more years of him being that nikka to seriously put him in that all time convo.

You can tell who be talking out they ass, who be hating, who seen a game of his and who actually watches him.

Even so, the discussion is best you've ever seen. Maybe it would fair better if it was best in the past decade.
