Yearby vs Cook?

[01rodric]

This isn't open-mic night, people. Why couldn't this go into the other two digit Yearby thread we have? COT DAM

Well since the debate is going on, let's just get both

Seconded. Weekly feature. No editing allowed.

He's better as long as he stays committed. If not, a similar argument will be made to say another back is better. I hope we hold onto this commit and pick up a couple more of these elite RBs.

 

[BrockBerlin]

No he's not.

I like the addition, but let's stop looking at this with orange and green glasses, Cook and Michel are on a different level.

 

[JHallCanes]

We've got a live one folks

True but it would not make sense to until now we got one. might get the other, weather he stay or not he is better than cook like I said just look at the tape.

I love how Cook was the best back in the country 2 days ago and now its an argument if Yearby is better

Confirmation bias on your part. You're seeing what you want to see.

I have seen A LOT of people in this thread say they still prefer Cook but like them both. I have seen less people saying they prefer Yearby over Cook. And I have seen A LOT of people saying they are both studs (who knew more than one good RB could exist?) and then giving some analysis of their games with comparisons to foster discussion.

The rating of one of these backs is not interdependent upon the rating of the other. They aren't sharing from a pool of rating points. They can both be rated highly based on their talents, and that is the case.

Agreed. They are both great, but it really seems like the scouting report has improved over from when he was a Nole.

No they arent. I think that Cook and Michel are two of the best 3 backs in the country

There are more than a few people who disagree with you

To the people throwin out the names Adrian Peterson and Willis McGahee when referring to Cook..How about we hold our horses and see if this kids can carry the ball 20-25 times a game before we start throwin those names out. I would be VERY interested to see what he could do with about 25 carries. I like the Spiller/Miller comparisons better. I was hoping he would take the bait and transfer to Carol City so we could REALLY see what kind of RB he is.

But I will admit when Central got stomped by those Grayson boys from GA last year the only player from Central who looked like he could hang was Cook. I was very dissappointed in Yearby. With that said, Yearby was the Prince of Dade county two years ago so I guess its all the same. (Duke was obviously the King)

I might be in the minority here but I don't understand getting worked up about RB's. football has turned into a passing game. All u need is a good back. You can always find a good Rb. I know that some might have elite talent but when was the last team to win because of a great Rb?

No team wins because of ONE position, so this question is irrelevant but anyway, running backs have been a MAJOR part of bama's success and as we saw when they took 4 elite running backs in this class, I don't think they will be changing that any time soon

 

[Loafers]

U know what I meant about Rb. I am we'll aware that no one player wins. As for bama, they plug in a new guy and he does well. Lacy is far from elite. Same with Ingram. They have a system. To me u can always find a Rb and if u r committed to running will be successful. It's one of the easiest positions to find a guy. Having an elite Rb is a luxury not a necessity.

There's a reason the MC staff gave Yearby more carries than Cook

Lockette sold his soul to get Yearby to even go to Central. That's why he's gotten more carries. Cook doesn't have the personality to complain, but it could come back to hurt Lockette this year because there is still talk of him transferring.

Anybody who watches Central play is surprised at Cook's lack of touches. I'm going to estimate Cook only got the ball on a reception or carry about 10 times a game, which is absolutely incredible considering the numbers he put up.

Cook doesn't have the personality to complain unless it's about UM not showing him enough love.
