He been nicer not his fault he was in bum ass NY
Alright. And Henry was on the...lemme see here... Titans

Been nicer but needs 4000 more yards and 58 TDs over the next 2 years and Henry to retire to catch up. Stop it lmao

Yesterday was great idk why the first thing people wanna do is make comparisons like they wont overreact to something next week too

Saquon been nice for years

Never said he wasn't nice lol...but this is like if somebody would've ran in here beating their chest after 👑's 2k season, or after he put up 250 yds vs the Texans, or any one of his other 5-6 games that he put up 200 yards.

Man's has the first 200 yard game of his career and nikkas run in here talking bout nikkas better than the best back of his generation 🤣...

Here's a fun fact. Saquon, who was a Day One starter upon entrance in 2018, was only 1234 yards and 10 TDs behind Henry in career totals---->Henry wasn't a full time starter until a quarter of the way into Y3, which, incidentally, was also 2018...

Somehow in the same span of time, both having dealt with a few injuries, Henry has widened the career gap from 1234 and 10, 4084 and 58...

Saquon just had his first 200 yard game---->he's 5 behind The King in that stat...

Saquon is an ELITE player having a career year. You could definitely argue that his 2024 season so far is better than King's 2024 season........but it would be the first season in his career he's been better than Henry, and Saquon ain't some young player. This is Year 7...

both salute one another

titans put the franchise on henry's back & he produced

saquon unfortunately landed in a giants organization that is a total mess & simultaneously dealing with health issues

but folks always were watching & waiting on the basis of potential

as far as measurables saquon's blend of power speed shiftiness is all time great

it's showing now he's making pro's look normal

he can shake a defender out their cleats straight steamroll or do the dash

one back that could arguably be the best in the league running three different styles

it's no knock to henry he's rare as shyte too being a big back with home run speed but he has no dance moves HA

Henry doesn't need to dance 😂 he's the fastest big back in NFL history, no one has ever been that size as a tailback and been that fast...

He's also arguably the most secure back in NFL history, his fumble rate is significantly lower than EVERYBODY. And we know he also, for the duration of his career, has the rock A LOT...

So the fastest big back in NFL history, who is also the most secure ball carrier in NFL history.....who is an absolute touchdown machine, his score rate rushing the ball is All-Time, and as you mentioned, his ability to just break games open with massive 50+ yard runs happens with impressive regularity. It's hard to find the exact number but I'm looking for it, man's breaks 50+, 60+, 70+, 80+, 90+ yard runs a number of times every year...

He don't dance but he has that hallmark stiff arm...

There's just too many categories he's maybe the best in NFL history at....

not arguing with your stance on henry

saquon elite in all the categories henry is

then throw in the contact balance the vision the reaction time the creativity

again it's not saying henry is not impressive & production wise he's been a mythical figure since his school days

but..........

peep saquon highlight reels all types of stop & go spin in or out hesitation cut & cross like a hooper hurdles cracking chest pads throwing defenders off with wwf style chokeslams

throw in the one handed grabs receiving out the backfield & all that

he is approaching that barry & shady territory with the style points

HA

Week 12 Update:

Henry up to 1325 yards for the season, which is now second in the NFL with Saquon's recent bursts. Should be fun watching these guys play each other this Sunday...

Henry still leads the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 13. He now has 10,827 career yards, so he's still #24 All-Time, 140 yards behind #23 Warrick Dunn...

He ain't been nicer than Henry for years though, stop playing negga 🤣...

Saquon has always been more talented.
The King has had significantly better luck when it comes to staying healthy. Which is shocking given how much mileage is on his body.

In my eyes, Henry would trump Saquon as far as all-time discussions because of that durability. But talent-wise... Saquon's got him.
