re: How does Fournette measure up?

I tend to agree with those of the "it's a different game" school.

Herschel Walker played for a guy that smoked cigarettes on the sidelines. Those old schoolers like Coach Dooley (who, btw, had one of the greatest southern accents of all time) would have been considered foolish to NOT runa stud like that 25-30 times a game.

That said, and even though I'm not a star gazer, I honestly do think that LF running behind this particular O line (which is IMHO not mentioned nearly as much as it should be when his 2014 expectations are assessed), and being spelled by the likes of Magee and Hilliard, etal, will look like Cecil Collins sans the pervertedness, mental retardation, and broken leg.
