Fournette will unfortunately be playing in the Falcons Organization. Atlanta will suck next year and will not pass up on Fournette come draft day.

This team doesn't rally or put in the same effort with any other qb. Those boys wanted this for their qb more than themselves.

usually agree with you......but Peyton was pretty terrible tonight.


I agree but Manning could still dominate the sec right now. If Manning were put in the sec right now he would be an all sec qb. The sec defenses are no where near as fast as the nfl defenses. He would dissect any sec defense.

Broncos win the super bowl with any average QB on the team. Peyton was a liability all season but got to ride an elite defense to the championship


You mean like Brady's first 2 SBs? Brady won a SB MVP where he threw for for 145 yards.

I don't know what game you were watching but the running backs had very little room in the game...even LF needs blocking

I'm sure every team could use a back like fournette.




Exactly. "Next year, the tigers should look to sign a Barry Sanders-like running back. Just maybe with more size.."

I am not sure there are very many NFL teams that need a QB like Harris.

LF7 will be a top 5 pick.


Fournette is a beast, but remember RBs aren't the most highly-valued picks anymore in the NFL. The game has changed.

Gurley went 10th in last year's draft, but several drafts before that didn't have a RB picked in the 1st Round. Trent Richardson went 3rd overall about 5 years back and was a complete bust.

NFL drafts are more about linemen, QBs, and WRs.

can't be watching the same game. Anderson is as tough as nails and just as big as Fournette. There is just no damn where for him to run because Carolina's Dline is playin like Alabama's Dline.



Agreed, though to be clear, Fournette is an elite back and Anderson is just very good.

A lot of NFL teams could use a back like Fournette.

There are 2 backs imo, who are in the same category talent wise as LF7

Gurley and AP.

I'm aware but that is how good LF7 is, the scouts already know this.

Yep, and look how well that is working out. LF7 is an even better pro prospect than Gurley was last year. Top five is a reach, but not crazy. Whether it's top 5 or top 10, Broncos would have to be pretty bad to land LF7.
