If you put me on the spot, my first guess would be cricket.

No one will say that zeke is just a good rb in a great scheme, he's a great player period.

The only RB with Leonards speed and power that compares is Adrian Peterson, and Fournette has better hands than him (by far). That's why expectations are so high for him

And it's also why no one was surprised when Jax took him at 4. Several people were surprised at Zeke at 5 last year.

If you want to be nitpicky, Dak won the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Elliot won the PFWA Rookie of the Year.

But why am I telling you this? You already knew that.

That was evident against Bama but he tried to prove a point against them and didn't play as well as he does. He is much better at reading cutbacks than what most think.





He's basically Trent Richardson.

No it was not. Elliot didnt win the rookie of the yr. Dak did, just becuase some writers claimed elliot thier rookie of the yr dont mean he won the award. Dak got the trophy, dak won it

I-Form power gap, his numbers out of the shotgun were abysmal.

Can you provide those stats?

And don't you think judging Fournette's ability on what he did in the LSU shotgun offense is a bit silly?

His athletic measurements absolutely give me cause for concern, but I maintain his tape is better than Fournette's.

Popular opinion, especially with Fantasy Football types.


I will spot you Seattle, but what other teams have won championships with an amazing talent at the RB position in the last 10 years?

According to PFF, JAX o-line actually just ranked outside of the top 20, and seemed to have more trouble pass blocking than run blocking, which can def be attributed to things like QB holding the ball, bad route running, etc. I'm not saying they have a good line, but its better than what I thought.

That's quite the window you've allowed.
