Both are great but it's not the same.

Fournette, even last year was a marked man and a feature back a lot of the time, especially later in the year.

Guice has had the luxury to not be forced into that role. That's not to say he could not be successful if it were required of him but to this point it's not the same.

Guice is playing better than LF last year at this point.

The way Guice runs scares me a bit. He's a fighter and hard to take down, but watch his legs when they are on him. His legs aren't planted and pushing like a power back. He's kicking and spinning. Every time I see him do this, I cringe thinking he's going to get seriously injured.
I see it the other way- Guice is shifting and rolling, and taking a lot less major impacts than Fournette is. Fournette hits the safety like a baseball bat sometimes, running right into the biggest point of contact, and running through it with his mass. Guice dips at the absolute last second, and creates a lot of arm tackling, when you think there will be a major collision.

10 yrs from now, I think Guice will have more in the tank.

Guice is an AWESOME talent


My question is how was any high school kid expected to meet him head on and tackle him only ONE YEAR AGO? He is the most violent runner I think I have ever seen.

No doubt. I think he is allergic to grass so he refuses to fall on it

College football gets a RB like LF7 maybe once every decade. Nothing against Guice, he could virtually be the starting RB for nearly 90 % of teams in the country. He's amazing; However, he is playing behind someone who is more amazing.
