just so i know exactly where we're currently at with this discussion, your position is that Hubert is faster than Sproles based on the Rivals high school recruiting profile listed 40 time?

My position is that Sams + Hubert is as fast as Ell + Sproles from the time the ball is snapped till the pitch is made/not made; or that if Ell + Sproles is faster, it's not by any appreciable margin to make the play more successful.  Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I think it's because Sproles was (at minimum) just as good as Hubert at making people miss and better than him at shedding tackles.

Sproles was better than Hubert at everything, and that's not a knock on Hubert at all.

I think you need to go back and watch youtubes or dvds from 2002-2004 if you think "Sproles was (at minimum) just as good as Hubert at making people miss." The only thing John Hubert comes close to approaching Darren Sproles with is ball security. John Hubert is a ball security freak. This is no slam on Hubert, Sproles is a once in a generation player, comparing Hubert to him is beyond silly.

I don't think you know what "at minimum" means.
