Feed the BEAST!

I agree it is a little early to claim Henry the best RB in the league, best on the Titans? Still debatable, Murray is sitting at 1000+ yds and 8 TDs after 12 weeks that's pretty good production. If he's dealing with an injury that's one thing but can't claim he's not a good RB. How many years have we wanted that from our backs and now we are getting it.
I'm excited to see what Henry can do, his time will come, maybe soon?

 

This season go in the tank? We were projected to be a 5 win team and we are sitting at 6-6. One game out of first in the division. This with Murray running the ball.
I agree if he's hurt and it's affecting him or the team then he needs to sit.
You must be an Alabama fan? Like I said I'm excited to see Henry play a bigger role but maybe the staff doesn't feel he's ready?

 

I didn't make any personal insults towards anyone. No need to get angry over a discussion about football. Let's try to speak as adults.

I can name some other running backs who won the Heisman, but didn't do much in the pros.
Mike Garrett
Archie Griffin
Billy Sims
Charles White
Mike Rozier
Rahsaan Salaam
There is one who didn't make it in the pros for every one you named that did. Ron Dayne makes 7. I am sure there are more, I just don't care to research them. My previous statement stands. What a player does in college doesn't mean much when they get into the pros. I get the sense that you are most likely a Alabama fan. That's fine, but no need to insult others who don't look at Alabama players through the same rose colored glasses that you do.

 

That's lost on some Im afraid when you don't see it their way.

 

I recall back during the Mularkey hire that "protecting our franchise QB" was priority number one. The FO and coaching staff revamped the OL and playbook with that goal in mind.

I believe that Henry has a great future ahead of him, and would like to see more of him on the field than we have. I also believe that the coaching staff have more faith in Murray at this point for his experience and ability to assist in protecting MM.

 

I could literally name 100 players who were the best in the college and probably spent only 4 years in the league till they were out of the league.

I understand the argument, even the worst NFL players at some point were top college players. But the best college players don't always = best NFL players.

 

Trent Richardson
RG3 (won Heisman)

Reggie Bush (good but not great)

What records did he smash? He ran for over 2000 yards one season with a total college career of 3591 and 42 tds. Ron Dayne did it twice with a total of 7125 with 71 rushing tds. Barry Sanders holds the single season rushing record with 2628 and holds single season td record with 37. Henry had 2219 with 28 rushing tds in his best year. Melvin Gordon had the second best college season of all time with 2587 (29 rushing tds) and didn't win the Heisman. Sanders, Gordon, and Dayne have to be in discussion as the best college running back of all time, but one great season at Alabama doesn't put Henry in that discussion. Don't get me wrong, it does appear to me that Henry will be a very good back, but he hasn't done anything yet to be placed on the pedestal you are putting him on.
