Fournette getting drafted by Jacksonville today is essentially the same as him being drafted by New Orleans from 1966 to the 1985. His career is gonna suffer.
There's a reason certain franchises are perpetually picking in the top ten. They do things like select average, injury prone running backs with questionable character in the top five.

No doubt. He's one of a kind, too. That's the only name that popped into my head that could make so much out of literally nothing.

Or lose tons of yards
The names that came to my mind were Eric Metcalf, Hershel Walker, and Earl Campbell
There are many examples of backs doing well with below average OL but MSB puts Sanders in mythical territory

Sure. Big risk big reward type of player but NEVER had a team around him.
Walker and Campbell were going to run everyone over that was in their path, then run around whomever was left. Physically, those men were outclassing everyone

Never? You got to be joking
Had All Pro OL WR but don't let mythology become reality.
Yes he was a great RB but it's not like he was the Lions only offensive weapon

Predictions? Genuinely asking
Honestly, it looks a lot like last offseason for us but better additions to the defense. Our Defense will be top 5 in the NFL this year. But our offense is most likely gonna blow again. Our WR are good, and our RBs are good, but they can't perform because of our mediocre QB and garbage O-line. I expect us to win a few more games than last year, but Miss the playoffs. Id predict us to be like a 6-10 record, finishing 2 or 3rd in the division.

That's being generous.

How so?
We ranked 6th in the NFL in total defense last year. And in the offseason we added Calais Campbell, Barry Church, and AJ Bouye. All of which are upgrades to an already good defense.

Jags will be an interesting team to watch, on both sides of the ball.
6th in yards, 25th in points. Why the huge discrepancy?

Eh, not a huge fan of using yards to determine defense. Their job is to keep points off the board, which unless they were just amazingly unlucky with interceptions returned for TDs and special team TDs, they just weren't that great last year.

Based off what I've seen, the Jags D never gets a chance to get off the field, and they are put in bad field position because of our terrible offense.

He was absolutely Heisman caliber. Barring injury he would have easily been a finalist or even won. Dude was running rampant over everyone, save for the shitty performance of the LSU offensive line vs Bama.

Is this a fricking joke, or just a very poor troll attempt. Go read the Jag's daily camp reports. Fournette has been killing it...running and catching it. Long runs in every scrimmage. He's going to be crazy good in the NFL barring death by sucky line...
Posted on 8/6/17 at 9:55 am to rumproast
Bro, I follow the Jags more than anyone on this board. I wasn't talking about camp, I was talking about the Jags last season moron. I don't see how you got me dissing LF out of that.
As far as Leonard goes.. Idk how Fournette will do, I just know he'll get a lot of touches. When did I say he was going to be bad, or is doing bad in camp?

Jags twitter feed, Brian Sexton has daily inside a minute videos covering training camp. ESPN Jags writer Michael Dirocco post stuff through espn all the time. And Florida Times Union.
