Fournette vs. Ben Simmons

Since this year is LF7's last year and I have nothing better to do with my time, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about the similarities and differences between the two.
Ben Simmons was considered by many to be the best player in college basketball last year just like many consider LF7 to be the best in football. Theres a decent chance LF7 gets drafted first overall just like Ben Simmons did. But this is where the similarities end.
The attitude that the Simmons and LF7 had towards their respective games is day and night in comparison to each other. It obviously has a lot to do with the NBA's one and done rule and the NFL's three year rule.
I'll give a concrete example of why i have so much respect for LF7 that i never developed for Simmons. LF7 put himself in the game this past weekend because he wanted to prove something, even though he knew he wasn't even close to 100%. Would Simmons have done that? Hell no!
Ben Simmons checked out before the season ended, and it was obvious he had no intentions to play with the team if it accepted an NIT bid.
LF7 is a role model for those who want to be the best in their sport. Ben simmons... not so much.

Pretty much no chance he goes #1 overall. But I do love me some 7.

If a team that needs a running back gets #1 overall (AKA Browns?), they take LF7 hands down.

If there was ever a team stupid enough to take a running back #1 overall, it would be the Browns

Ben's biggest problem was Tim Quarterman.

Quarterman's biggest problem (other than being a selfish quitter) was Simmons for sure. He was worse across the board last year in every statistical category. When your two best players need the ball, don't give a frick about effort/defense and are being led by a lame-duck coach, it's a recipe for an awful season.

Stop comparing a great guy like Fournette to a punk like Simmons. Stop!

Because he didn't accept his role. Tim is an above average player that had a unique skill set. It was to drive, create, play great D. All he wanted to do was score and gave 2 shits about anyone else

Ben who? Oh you mean that guy I wasted my ticket money on? That guy they're comparing to Magic Johnson? He will NEVER come close to Magic Johnson.

why are y'all still so butthurt about simmons? what did you expect, a multi-year player who bleeds purple and gold? he was the number 1 recruit, he would have been AT LEAST a top five pick out of high school.
