Appears to have been a poor decision to start Fournette this year

Just looking back at some of his runs this year. I see more last-second ankle/leg tackles as he was about to break one.

I lost count of how many he took to the house 40+ yards or more last year. This year, he never got into those 3rd and 4th gears...maybe once in that Auburn game, but he still got caught.

Methinks Guice should start. Fournette should definitely play. Or at the least, give them split playing time.

Fournette has clearly not been healthy this year. That said, I don't have a problem with him playing. I do, however, have a problem with the coaches not spelling him more with one of the four talented backs behind him.

Even poorer decision to have live contact drills with your best player in a meaningless fall practice.

i don't know why the hate. I agree, he shouldn't have started until 100%. If that were the case, he most likely would be 100% by now.

Wait, wasn't LF dealing with a left ankle injury that was getting better each week before injuring the right ankle late at Auburn?

Regardless, he'll still be a top 5 NFL pick. He'll get completely healthy, blow up the combines and teams will be drooling all over him.

That's assuming he doesn't fully heal up over the final weeks of the regular season and bowl game.

At least a half dozen I've said, "He would have housed that one last year."


True story.

Right. Poor decision. Keep your All-American on the bench. Are you crazy, stupid or both?
