re: Jones-Drew has Fournette 3rd best RB in Draft

NFL Scouts seem to disagree with you. Ive never heard anyone say that Fournette actually has good vision, much less the best they've seen in a while.

SCOUTING REPORT #2

quote:

Fournette is at his best when he’s able to get north and south quickly and pick up a full head of steam. If he’s forced to change plans in the backfield, his footwork can get sloppy and he can lose momentum. He can still make plays happen when forced to improvise,

Scouting report # 3

quote:

---

Fournette is also a decisive back because of his vision, which allows him to work almost entirely north and south as a runner. He's not a jump cutter, choosing instead to slide cut or make often subtle changes of direction to find the open field, at which point he can pull away from defenders because of his strong top-end speed.

If youve never seen a scouting report say LF has good vision then youve never looked at more than the one you posted.
And for the record, every rb in the history of football misses cyt back lanes.

Please link 1 reputable scout saying his vision isnt a strength

Sometimes on zone runes, Fournette doesn’t press long enough, and can be too quick to cut back when the intended point of attack actually does open up. when he was provided with clear paths this past year, he still rattled off long runs. But when his blocking and reads were murkier this past season, he was at times indecisive and quick to abandon the intended point of attack, and not nearly as effective at making defenders miss.

WEAKNESSES: Inconsistent decision-making at times behind the line of scrimmage, allowing defenders to reset and get a read on him. Most of his impressive runs on tape came from large holes created by his blockers with not enough examples of him creating on his own vs. the first wave of the defense.

Fournette's power and speed are more than enough to help create high-end yardage totals for himself, but he can still improve with better vision and footwork when wading through the murk between the tackles.

He needs to be a lot more patient on waiting for his blockers to do their thing and open holes for him to run through, I've said that in the past, but once he learns that it will be look out downfield. That's his only flaw to me, he has good vision and can find holes, but he just gets a lil to impatient in wanting to find a hole and get down the field and going and so he winds up looking like he does against Alabama all the time, and that is lost.

but no way in this world is he Trent Richardson, that idiot sportswriter saying he ran through large holes at LSU is on dope, LSU didn't open up Alabama type holes for him to run through. lol

exactly, I 100% agree.

What is he(Jones - Drew) talking about? aside from his Alabama performances, his vision was not bad at all. On the few times they put him out to catch the ball, he caught it whether it was a screen out of the backfield or from a receiver position catching downfield.

MJD was a beast... He likes players like him

The issues he brings up are real issues. Many would say that Guice has better vision and will translate to the next level.

Jones-Drew? Never heard of her!

Fournette > Maurice Jones drew ever was. Frick him
