It's way to hard to judge if one player is better than another when you don't tie all factors together. Coming into the season, the college scouts chose Channing for a reason, and this is his ability to continue to do at the next level. The number of backs in the entire state that can perform at a D1 level is minimal, but I certainly think that Channing deserves the credit that he has attained. IMO, he and Simpson are on one level, and many others are striving to get to that level.

I see what your saying SD, BUT my point is that a thread such as this is pointless. What will it do for either young man to get on here and read this? Last year, Thomas was a force on the field as well BUT he was in the back shadows of Ivan. He was kind of like a "silent" force. Whether Thomas will go on to play football in college is unknown to me but I feel that if he choses to, he will be able to and he will be prepared to be versatile when and if he does. He may not run the ball (example: David Jones) but may be moved to another position as the coach deems fit. Thomas has that advantage to his benefit. Kudo's to BOTH young men but I just feel that this is NOT the type of thread that should be on the site....It could cause problems!!!hh:
