Never. This year I predict he will 15 carries/game for 95-100 yd average. Total yds = 1000-1100+ in 12 game season.. Average 3 catches/ game for 30 yds.

This was my prediction before the season started.

His actual stats are:
Rushing
187 carries 14.3 carries/game 1034 net yds 5.5 yds/carry 10 TD's 79.5 yes/game

Receiving
7 receptions 127 yds. 18.1 yds/catch 9.8 yes/game

Return
24 returns 625 yds. 26.0 yes/attempt 1 TD 100 longest

i was a little too optimistic but pretty close.

Overall he had a really good season IMO. But underutilized, especially early in the season. No reason,based on ability he showed, that he couldn't have averaged 20-22 touches/game which would have gotten his total average yardage up to 140+/game for rushing/receiving.

Are you talking about Leonard or Lanard?

I'm sure Lanard had stats last season, too.

He was a different player later in the season, he definitely had an adjustment period albeit a quick one, i dont have a problem with the amount of carries he got earlier in the season, but hopefully he gets 20+ from the get go next year, no reason he shouldn't.

If he doesn't get a minimum of 15-20+ carries a game next year Cam needs to be fired! PERIOD.

Thing is we have to have sustained drives for him to get his carries. 3 and outs kill the amount of carries he will get

Doesn't Frank Wilson decide which running back plays and how much? So by your comments, it would be him who should be fired.

Well maybe we should have Steve Spurrier as our coach. Spurrier over used the highly recruited Lattimore his Freshman year to the tune of:

2010 299 attempts for 1,197 yards for 4.8 avg, 17 TD
2011 163 rushes for 818 yards for 5.0 avg, 10 TD
2012 143 rushes for 662 yards for 4.6 avg, 11 TD

The freshman stud running back was over used his freshman year and lost his career. Want more info? LINK

I like how Fournette is positioned for a great year in 2015, career at LSU and the NFL. Mr Lattimore is trying to collect on an insurance policy and never played a down in the NFL.
