Blue hasn't done anything comparable thus far
Look i think hill is awesome. But i dont get why people latch on to a certain player and dog others. Blue had an awesome seccg against UGA. That is a big stage and a loss would have kept us out of the bcs title game imo. people act like blue is some sort of a slouch.

He's not a "slouch," he simply hasn't demonstrated the same consistent performance against highly ranked opponents. Based on game performance to date, Hill is the superior back. I'm not disparaging Blue. He's good. Hill is just better.

I like Blue but he hasn't been the go to back during the meat of a SEC schedule. Hill's potential is off the charts. How many college rbs are 230 with break away speed? As good as Ridley and Hester were at LSU, they didnt have the top end speed to take it the distance on every play , no matter the field position.

Everyone should check out JPDraftJedi youtube account. He has game film from many SEC players from certain games.
Alfred Blue vs Washington
Alfred Blue vs. North Texas
Jeremy Hill vs. South Carolina
Just gives a little perspective IMO

I can't be the only guy who was reminded of Addai when Blue was having good games? Anyway, as for who is better, that is pretty simple. LSU's offense calls for a very tough back who can take a lickin' and keep on eating up yardage. Yards after contact are essential to a back in Red Stick. This is why Ware exploded onto the scene and also why Hilliard blew up after Ware lost a step for whatever reason midway through the next season.
Hill not only can eat up yards after contact but he can avoid contact, run with good CFB speed and he has great vision for a freshman which is something that is essential if a back doesn't want to watch younger guys pass him up on the depth chart. I really love his decisiveness because I hate backs who stutter step their way into losses.
It is going to be fun to watch who the offense uses throughout the games. I think that Hill would be a great guy to take on fresh defenses while Hilliard could show up late in games and bull doze tired front sevens into submission. Of coarse, there are so many possibilities and the coaches look at so many more things than I do that I could guess all day long and not figure out how they will be used in this new OC's schemes.
One thing that I know for sure though...
The I-form will rock the Valley with this year's stable of backs!

while blue is clearly a decent back, Hill is just on a different level.

Hill has more carries in 1 year than Blue does in his career. Blue is made of porcelain when he runs inside. If Blue is asked to run the way Hill does then he won't make mid season. Blue is also coming off an injury yet again. I would take Hill as a football player over Blue just on durability and reliability. Hill is much tougher physically than Blue in that he can actually stay healthy.

I agree. I would have never recruited Hill to come here. I thought he was trouble but just looking at it from a football standpoint Blue is constantly in the training room and not on the field. I don't see how you can feature a back that gets hurt when he runs inside with any frequency.

Blue is third behind Jeremy hill and k Hilliard.
Honestly I must have missed the games that gave a lot of a hard on for ABlue.

It honestly doesn't make any sense. People need to watch those videos again.
Hill is head and shoulders better than the other RB's...

Blue was good in one and a half games last season so he's the best back on the team. North Texas had a beast defense I tell you what.
Well if he didnt get hurt, he would gave been the first bavk in LSU history to run for over 100 yds in the first 3 games. but yeah, he sucks.

Of course he is.
