Eric Crouch was better than both running the ball but he didn't get the same knob job. Granted he didn't come up in the age of social media, still ESPN and the others were still around.

Jordan Lynch was a better runner as well

They (media) hype them up wanting them to be great so badly when there are other QB's far better playing.
