GCMB Poll: Most dangerous UF running back ever

[Wuerffel4Pres]

Lawrence Taylor would have caught him.

He wouldn't catch Bo though. :D

 

[ThreatMatrix]

If by "most dangerous" you mean most likely to put the ball on the ground, I'm going with Matt Jones.

Bernardo thinking outside the box.

 

[GatorJ]

He wouldn't catch Bo though. :D

That's why the Raiders was the best team. Long at DE and Bo at RB. Unstoppable.

It's been a really long time but I think neither Taylor nor Long could get blocked on special teams either.

What's the question right above the poll results? Duh.

I believe that was changed and that the title reflects the original poll.

Dude, Trey Burton looks good against Kintucky. Everyone looks good against Kintucky.

LDR in 2016... loooked good against Kentucky... enough said.

I have an NES classic, killing it with Bo.

Then ask who the second best running back was, instead of pretending "dangerous" has some meaning that excludes him. That's not so hard.

And in response, Taylor had the best combination of speed and power, Rhett was easily the most powerful - the kind who run it 30 times a game and gets stronger, and Chandler the best combination of speed, fluidity, and athleticism.

Don't forget about Ernest Graham, he was a pounder too. Probably slightly below Rhett, but he could get the tough yards too.

Ernest Graham before the blood clot issue in his thigh (Freshman year) was Taylor fast. His game changed after the surgery to fix that.

The most talented stable of RBs the Gators ever had on the roster at one time undoubtedly goes to the 1982 squad.

James Jones 1st round, 13th overall pick
Lorenzo Hampton 1st round, 27th overall pick
John L. Williams 1st round, 15th overall pick
Neal Anderson 1st round, 27th overall pick

I don't know of any other team in the history of the game that had four running backs who would be 1st round NFL draft picks on the team at the same time. That's impressive.

Before someone tells me that John L. Williams was a fullback, he finished his four-year college career with 2,409 yards rushing and 863 yards receiving. He wasn't just a FB. He was a RB sharing time with 3 other first rounders and that's how they got more of them on the field at the same time.

Pell was the best recruiter we've had, better than Meyer IMO. There were no recruiting services in the early '80s. The product on the field and the number of your people who got drafted let you know where you stood. Pell was simply outstanding.

What a shame that he felt it necessary to cheat. He could have accomplished great things here.

Circle, you're cracking me up, man. No one changed the thread title or the verbiage in the OP or the subtitle over the poll, all of which made it abundantly clear what the poll was about. You just got lazy.
