VanS Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Kamara. Easily. I don't even consider Fournette to be a good RB. 3.9 YPC does not impress me at all. I think people are just infatuated with the hype he had coming out of college and the fact he played well in the playoffs when most people are watching.

showtime Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I think Fournette was injured because he definitely did not have the explosion or quickness that I saw from him at LSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose just as big and freakish. Hard to say since he's such a focal point of offense/defense, and I'm not sure Fournette was completely healthy last season, but I think Henry might be slightly better in space while Fournette takes less negative plays (sometimes to a fault) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he's saying NFL players are faster... tough to glean from his post but here it is again: 15 hours ago, VanS said: Or maybe the NFL has more fast guys which made him slower?

He said the first statement, you re-packaged it with the second. The NFL absolutely has faster players than even the most stacked SEC team.

The NFL absolutely has faster players than even the most stacked SEC team. we're getting way off, however i already laid this out, if we're specially talking about the nfl vs the sec, and youre saying the nfl is faster. Then yes, youre saying the sec is lacking in fast players opposed to the nfl. And is there proof that nfl defenses are faster than the sec's? obviously theyre much better but faster alone does not mean better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fournette was battling an ankle and a quad issue for a lot of the year, potentially among other things. He had games where he looked "fresh" and "healthy" and was an absolute monster...and other games where he looked worn out and completely lacking explosion and power, along with some games where he lost that freshness as the game wore on. He wasn't nearly as healthy as you'd want him to be this year. Which sucked. But...i wouldn't trade him for Kamara. Not a chance. There's something special about Fournette's combination of raw physicality and power, with that homerun speed. And his attitude as a runner. It's a total focal point of an offense and sets a tone that this Jaguars team relishes in and really needs. And missed badly when he wasn't available of fully healthy.

That’s the thing about Fournette...it’s really difficult to evaluate him without considering the injuries. It seems like he always has an ankle injury.
