Weren't a lot of Fournette's 'missed tackles' due to the guys falling off him once he broke through the line?
To be totally honest, if I'm an NFL team, I probably take Clyde. I know that seems to offend some people, but Clyde makes people flat-out miss, and he's built in such a manner that when he's rolling, he's going to get yards after contact too.
Fournette could make it look like he's a man running against 13 yd olds, but that didn't happen against Alabama or NFL teams. And once you hit that highest level, I'd prefer the guy that you can't get a clean shot on, rather than the runaway freight train.

Fournette was 7th in the nfl in rushing last year & 6th in yards from scrimmage.
What Fournette did at LSU with that passing game is more impressive than what Clyde did last year in the best offense in CFB history.
Alabama would have shut Clyde down too.

Are you under the impression that when people hit a player and do not make the tackle it is not a missed tackle?

Do you even remember Fournette at LSU outside of that one Bama game? He made people miss or ran through them or just flat out ran people.
Clyde was great and perfect fit for the 2019 offense. Fournette is the better talent and was better at LSU. Going into 2019 people didn’t think Clyde should be the starting RB.
