He wanted to troll this board and when he got called out for laughing at a player possibly having a crippling injury he tried to pivot to make himself look better.

I'd have more respect for him if he atleast stuck to his guns on the original post.

Exaggerate much?

Ultra sensitive and over exaggerating.

The game is more violent than the college game was only point I was making. Was not laughing at his injury

Dude should be banned from the league.

Bs claims about speed can be dismissed upon review of launch with arms down.
Evil.
Just plain evil.

Is Paul Finebaum paying him to say this? Or Gary Danielson.

He does realize that the NFL ONLY has the cream of the crop of those SEC players he's so found of - not to mention the very best of every other conference.

Does he act like the NFL isn't full of only the best of what he claims was awesome in colllege?

That speed sure didn't help Cutler throw pick after pick in the NFL.

Cutler was a starting NFL QB for almost a decade and even made the pro bowl when it was still cool.

R Bush against Philadelphia comes to mind among others

Was that his rookie year? Not to mention it was in the playoffs. Bush and fournette are different types of backs. Sure he'll get hit but he'll dole out plenty of punishment himself

He'll be a good rb, but not HOF material.

Fournette might be the most protected guy by the lsu superfans I've ever seen. He brought lsu a Texas bowl victory so he will forever be bulletproof in their eyes.

Outside the Heisman pose, I don't recall him doing or saying anything that was arrogant.

It seemed like he always credited his oline, team, and coaches when I heard him speak. Granted though, I didnt keep up with him on a regular basis. IMHO he came across as appropriately confident.

Several players have mentioned that, in their opinion, playing in the SEC prepared them well for the speed and the physicality of the NFL. He could've said it better, but I think that was the gist of this recent comment.
