I personally think Collins is better but I want I hear more opinions, please don't put in any bias due to the recent situations we have with the two

Collins in a landslide. He's faster, quicker, runs stronger and more physical, has better vision, etc. Green is talented in his own right but Collins is a prototypical 5* back. He's irreplaceable.

Green is bigger and stronger, with solid speed. I think Collins is a shiftier back, and offers more big play ability. Green is one of the most powerful runners I have seen coming out in while. I don't see much comparison with the two because their running styles are so different. Think the difference between MJD and Shady McCoy. One is all about making you miss the other is about running over you.

just out of curiosity....how is Collins faster and quicker when Green has the fastest 40 time for a rb in the nation?

Well if Collins doesn't come back, beggars can't be choosers eh.

Green would be a fine powerback/workhorse to Duke's speed. And I'm guessing the staff would be able to sell him on being "the guy" in this class.
 
look I'd take Collins over Green also, but I think everyone is selling Green short. He is a monster power back that would be a perfect compliment to Duke. If we can't have Collins, I doubt there are many better options out there than Green....especially with what our needs are at the position.....Green kinda reminds me of Mark Ingram

Collins hits the hole faster and comes out of the hole faster. That's what matters. Green might have better long speed but he'll have less breakaway opportunities in his career.
 
As much as I want Collins, I want the one who wants to be HERE...I love Collins speed and shifty ability...but Derrick Green ain't no slouch...
