after seeing jhills highlights at the draft

Everyone best temper their excitement for fournette. He will be hard pressed to surpass his talent and production of hill. Funny thing is, fournette will be playing at almost the same height but just a bit lighter. Both have terrific balance and vision with top end speed.
Jhill was special.

Ok.

JHill was indeed very special. I've said this before, but he was one season and 3 quarters away from maybe being the best running back in LSU history. He's already top 5. There is no chance Fournette is as good this year as Hill was last year, and chances are he never will be. And that's nothing against LF at all. I just don't think most people really appreciated JHill.

Jeremy Hill was the best running back we've had in recent memory, and we've had some good ones.

agreed. Jhill was the best back we had here in a long time...probably since Faulk. He just didnt have the numbers cause his college career was so short. LF has some big shoes to fill

Jeremy Hill was the best running back we've had in a long time. I agree with you, it'll be tough for LF to pass that. Hill was a beast

I disagree. LF is noticeably more talented. First, he's considerably faster. Second, he has quicker feet (similar to Hilliard). And I hope he turns out to be a tougher runner. IMO that was Hill's weakness; the only times he got bonus yards was when he got in the clear. He never got those "Hester" or "Ridley" yards.
With that said, I don't expect LF to contribute at that level during the first half season. But he'll probably be considerably better than Hill.

I saw Hill get a LOT of tough yards in the Iowa game.

DJ Welter made tackles in the Iowa game, they're not the best barometer.

I disagree, but even if that were true, here's the thing: that is a running back's job - to find the "clear." It's not like the line blocks differently when other backs are in the game - Hill is the one who always finds "the clear."

He was. Pleasure to watch

Hill was the best RB since Faulk but Fournette just might be better than both. That's how special he is.
Posted on 5/10/14 at 8:14 am to dreaux
Yep.
Sucks for us he left.

If only Hill hadnt teased us about coming back before he declared. The mere thought of a Hill/Fournette backfield would have SEC DC's prepping for us Week 1

I been saying for two years now he was easily in the top 3 all time LSU RB. Never wavered on that through his suspension. Hope to see the young man do well in NFL. And I said this week LF has some huge shoes to fill.

I think Fournette can come in and be as good as hill right away. Thats the crazy part, that isn't too unrealistic.
