Better rookie season for Christian McCaffrey or Leonard Fournette?

Run CMC

[Mantis_Toboggan]

I bet McCaffrey has the better season overall, but I don't think he'll be OROTY. 12 - 16 touches a game 

[Jon Snow]

By what criteria will the decision be made on who has the better season?  Yards? Touchdowns? Games Played?  Rings? Women? Jerseys Sold?  We need answers!

In today's NFL, CMC is by far and away the more complete back.

Fixed and agreed...the direction the league is going, an RB has to be able to play more roles. Fournette may be a better RB in the classic and old school sense, but mcaffery just brings more to the table. That's just the way it is.

Looking at this draft class, it was stacked with RB talent. However each one has a drawback for winning OROY.

McCaffery's? Shula.

Fournette's? That OL... and QB.

Kamara? Himself.

Mixon? Buried in the depth chart.

Cook? OL and injuries.

In addition, signs are pointing up for Mahomes and Watson. Those guys have that IT factor. If any of those two break out, they'll win automatically. QB > RB or WR. It's just the way it is in the NFL. 

Kamara>CMC

Savage was just announced the starter, and Mahomes won't start this year barring injury or a total collapse of the team.

Wait until he puts the ball on the ground a few times then tell us what you think.

He's been a chronic fumbler in the past. It's unlikely that will change in the NFL.

Reggie was the second best back on his team at USC

If he does, that will certainly change things, however, he's behind 2 other backs. Fumbling will not be tolerated.

RBs have won 14 of the past 25 OROY awards. QBs 7, WR 4

This is crazy talk. Reggie was ridiculous in college. One of the best college players I've ever watched. He toyed with defenders.

The problem with Reggie, in the NFL, was that he lacked vision and patience. He was done an injustice by his lower level coaches. He was never forced to work on his skills as an actual runner. He was just allowed to run around people, because he could. The problem with that in the NFL is LBs and DEs run like some college corners. 

CMC seems to have a higher ceiling and floor, because he doesn't lack those things. He's a much better pure RB than Reggie was coming out. However, that doesn't take away from Reggies ridiculousness in college.

Bingo. Once a fumbler, always a fumbler. Plus, his vision blows.

I don't know. If it weren't for the fumbling problems, the guy has skills as an outside runner.

The worst you could say is his vision is inconsistent. It doesn't blow. He's not CMC, but he's not Richardson.

It depends. Bush was one of the greatest college players EVER but White I'm the end made the greater impact in the pros because of his power and size.

This is pure crazy talk. White played all of 4 seasons in the NFL. He had all of 2,500 yards from scrimmage. Reggie, for the poo he gets, had a good career. 10,000 yards from scrimmage. At no point in time has White ever been the better player.
