There is no doubt Fournette is an elite talent, one of the best pure RBs I've ever seen, but our offense is just not a good fit for him.

I'm not being ugly, but this is a thoughtless comment.

Go look at Denver with John Elway. He ran a prolific, pass-happy offense for years.
He got old and couldn't run it any longer, they became a run-first offense with an experienced QB at the helm, and won 2 Superbowls.

Switching to a run-first offense here, we could extend Brees' effective time by maybe 5 years.

On Wednesday, at LSU's pro day in Baton Rouge, Fournette (6-foot-0 3/8, 228) arrived in much better shape, down 12 pounds from what he weighed in Indianapolis five weeks ago. He stood on all of his numbers from the combine, but went through what was described to me as an "exceptional" workout. He caught the ball extremely well, showing teams he can be an every-down back in the NFL and solidifying his status as the top runner in a deep running back draft.
