Who's the best back?

[clones_jer]

ok, no wimp'n out. Its come down to it, be a man.

GIVEN: WHEN HEALTHY who's the best?

 

[06_CY]

Robinson

You, my friend, have become a poll-*****. Don't think I don't know what's going on here.

 

[bjwitt]

A-Rob for sure he is really showing me something.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

I voted A-Rob, but I think Bass can be an impact back as well and I'd like to see him get a few more looks.

 

[mwitt]

I think Bass has better vision, but Robinson's speed in the open field really makes him a weapon.

 

[cyclonez7]

Definitely A-Rob
He's got breakaway speed and is great at breaking tackles.

 

[cstrunk]

Robinson, can't teach speed.

 

[cmoore_23]

it depends on the situation.. A-Rob is quicker but Bass i think has more power along with scales... but i will say A-Rob has more potential

 

[PolkCityClone]

Hard to decide with the injuries this year.

 

[clones_jer]

Damn ... too bad it took us so long to get A-Rob playing time. Not as long as Koch mind you - yes I'm still bitter.

 

[clonefromNE]

I would like to see Bass with some more touches as well. Last game didn't he only have like two for -1 yards or something?

 

[bhayes_09]

A-Rob with the speed

 

[Cyclonepride]

I picked Robinson, mainly because we have him for a lot longer, so more upside!

 

[clones_jer]

will no one give Jason some love? no local holdouts?

 

[CyCloned]

It is really hard not to vote for Robinson. Bass had some nice games against some weaker teams, but Robinson has does it against better defenses. On the other hand the OL is clearly better now than when Bass was healthy. Robinson's speed just seems to cajuse more big plays, something that this team has sorely needed.

I think it is great to have 3 guys to even be able to vote for.

What we have options for the best back?:notworthy:

 

[aeroclone08]

What have you done for me lately? I'll go with A Rob.

 

[Dormeezy]

I'm curious to see what the poll results would have been prior to saturday's game.

Robinson exploded in that game.

 

[Erik4Cy]

What have you done for me lately? I'll go with A Rob.

thats basically what this poll comes down to. The creator was smart by putting in the "WHEN HEALTHY" stipulation.

Can't go back in time, but had Scales NEVER gotten hurt when he came to campus I am sure he could have been the winner of this poll, but A Rob just has that breakaway speed and can hit the hole at the right time. I do think Bass is a much more elusive, tackle breaking back, but you cannot teach speed like A Robs...Granted NONE of them have made themselves the "go to, have to get the ball to" back yet. I am waiting for a REAL breakout performance from somebody. But damn is it nice to even be debating this...I kinda have a feeling we'll be doing the same thing next year with the QB's...lots of diff positives at that position too. I do like running back by committee tho, I think we should stick with it. QB by committee does not work in the long run, but you need people to spell the RB's.
