What's the deal with this "Fournette doesnt run hard" BS?

lotta comparisons between him & guice going on(NFL scout quoted that guice>LF, questioning LFs "want". From my POV, both run with max effort. The difference is LF looks more effortless when he runs whereas Guice looks like a bull in a China shop the minute he touches the ball.
Maybe LF is comparable to Shaq where he's so more physically gifted than everybody else that he can turn it on/off when it's necessary? If so, I don't think it's done lazily, I just think he can.
What games/situation are they pointing out where LF was sandbagging?
BTW, with all the criticism of LF going on, there's one that holds water. He didn't attend the team banquet. Why? Pretty shitty unless there's a valid reason

Here's how to settle that:
Ask all the "badasses" he's steamrolled if he runs hard.

Yeah no shite

It's all BS. That's the nature of sports media, and fans today. Build them up so you can tear them down!

Nobody runs harder than LF when he wants to run hard

It's just from one article. All the "experts" read it and are now going with it.

There are a few questionable efforts from Fournette. Some games it seemed like he could not or would not break a tackle. He was especially vulnerable when hit behind the line. Just being honest. There is no doubt he has power and speed, but on some occasions it seemed to be nullified easily.

Elliott is doing great for the Cowboys. If Fournette is lucky enough to get on a team with a decent offensive line and some resemblance of a passing game then he will do great too. I just hope these high ankle sprains aren't an ongoing thing.

Not familiar with that. What stunts? Talking bout him mailing it in his last year?

Bama? Cause I don't hold Bama against him. His line got whooped the last 2 years, especially in 15. Maybe he danced a little too much this year but that's about it

It was more than Bama.

I defend LF7 on this assumption. Man ran hard his whole career in fact a little to hard at times. Only hitch I saw was this year where you could tell his ankle injury took away his ability to plant and cut hard.

Just being honest, most running backs are vulnerable behind the line.

This might be the part that made it seem he did not drive at times. It started last year and I am not sure what game he was injured in but he did tweak his foot last year as well.
As to the comparisons betwee Guice and Fournette, Fournette is a power back with amazing speed while Guice has speed he is an absolute maniac running.

Every game has video that's easy to find, so show me the plays.
