I remember when folks were saying Guice was just as good as Fournette....

Here's just the 90 yard TD run

The most impressive play was stiff arming Bud Dupree (270 lbs) straight into the turf imo

Guice has better vision and balance. I don't think there is any question about that. However, Fournette is in a class with Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker when it comes to straight line power and speed. Fournette isn't going to make many people miss (like Guice does). But if he can hit the hole full speed and break into the secondary, there aren't a ton of DB's who (a) are eager to stand in front of him and (b) run him down from behind.

Being a "better" RB is largely subjective.

Dude is a monster. He's adapted to the next level really fast. If he keeps doing this, the Jags won't be able to lose enough to get moved to London

Guice just isn't in the same category. He'll be a good NFL player. LF7's ceiling is Hall of Fame

Guice is a pinball out there. Not sure how you can classify him as a back who really makes me people miss. He and Fournette both initiate contact. And Fournette's ability to stiff arm people is certainly "making people miss" and he does it every game.

And better balance? Fournette lowers his shoulder at full speed and stays up all the time. That's just one example.

He's looking healthy now and running like he did in his prime at LSU (or better). Give that man a hole to run through and your defense is in for trouble. Gotta stop him before he gets any momentum upfield for sure. He's gonna be a great one for the Jags and the NFL if he can stay healthy.

I thought it was closer to 21.6 mph.

Also, I just made that up.

Exactly, imagine his stats at LSU if he was playing with a stout OL without defenses stacking the box.

Looks much leaner in the NFL. He will become a top five all time back if he stays healthy and Jack keeps a good oline. Or i hope he does. LA needs to produce a couple more of these type guys soon and every 3 years. thats not asking to much out our recruiting base.

At the 1:39 mark of the Jags-Steelers highlights Fournette stiff arms a a DE then waves on the Saftey Mitchell to come get some.

Gotta love Fournette!

Leonard Fournette Wasn't Afraid of the Steelers

Just read this, thought I'd share. I watched the game, as discussed in the article, LF won the game for them on the first drive of the 4th quarter that started on their own 5.
