You're so wrong it's just not even funny.

Fournette is a north south runner

Watch something besides the Alabama game where there are no holes

I hope Guice goes to the Pats or the Panthers.




I can envision Guice doing much better at the Pats than the Panthers. I would love to see him in a Saints uniform. Guice reminds me of a much better version of Pierre Thomas and we know Thomas was damn good under Sean Peyton. Guice would crush it under Sean's coaching and system.

I could see Guice not holding up


I see this on the board a lot. I don't see what other people are seeing. To me Guice is very durable. Defenders can never get a clean hit on him, he's very flexible and he runs extremely light on his feet.

. Fournette will have highlite film games against Swiss cheese defenses but most times he'll get eaten up. Not much laterally cutting ability and vision is weak at best. Time will surely tell

College vs NFL. He's going to get hit and he is 212.

Fournett. Used feet a lot better. For a smaller guy, Guice tends to take on too much contact. Guice has the body and strength to manage the contact that he does take on.

So does he need to be north sout or lateral? Vision is fine.

Guice has bad hands....says only you. Guice was used as a wideout in the under armor all American game. He's thought to have some of the best hands on the team...not just the rb group.

Well being lateral helps to get thru an actually hole going North South. Home run ball back that I'd expect to get broken down during an NFL grind. Disagree, his vision is lower tier in college backs much less the pros. We shall surely see

Leonard also had 200 more carries than Guice by the end of their Sophomore years. Less wear and tear.

Guice all the way will have a better NFL career. The dude is agile, and can squirt through small creases.

Fournette is great if he has a big hole and can get past the line where his size and power and speed are an advantage against LBs and DBs. In the NFL he's rarely going to get those holes, he's basically going to be going against Bama week in and week out.

Fournette will be like a more talented Derek Richardson. Guice will be like a Barry Sanders Jr.

Yeah I guess he just blindly ran for 1900+ yards last year.
