Spiller is still the best receiving back and special teams guy.

Agree. CJ will likely always be the best we ever have at

making a guy miss then hitting warp speed. The GT play Is the unicorn, but he had so many like it. But ETN is the combo Priester/Flowers/CJ/Flagler. Its not that he doesn't have weaknesses, but that every aspect is a strength, imo.

Imagine CJ Spiller with our Offensive line the last 3 years! CJ was better by a couple steps because our line and blocking wasn’t very good for him. CJ’s The Man Period?????? and I love ETN to death!

No way. I love Spiller but he was a dancer and ETN doesn't hesitate. Spiller was a sprinter that played rb. ETN is a bad dude that plays RB. Big difference!!

Spiller is still #1 in my book but ETN is just a hair behind. The only thing ETN cant do that Spiller could is making defenders disappear into thin air. ETN's 0 to 60 is just as good as Spiller's, if not better. The way ETN finds that crease and bursts through is incredible to watch

ETN doesn't have Spiller speed, but he has speed. He also RARELY goes down on the first hit - sorta Wayne Gallman-esque. He may be the best all around when all is said and done. He also seems to be a very good, humble guy; you get the sense he doesn't realize how good he really is. The dude is a joy to watch on the field and in the interview room.

In my opinion...yes. That said, I am older, please do not short change Terry Allen. Like Etienne, he could beat you between the tackles, or on a pitch sweep (ask FSU). Terry was also like Travis, a late recruit, and if memory serves, originally brought in as a DB.
