I remember when folks were saying Guice was just as good as Fournette...


Guice has better vision and balance. I don't think there is any question about that. However, Fournette is in a class with Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker when it comes to straight line power and speed. Fournette isn't going to make many people miss (like Guice does). But if he can hit the hole full speed and break into the secondary, there aren't a ton of DB's who (a) are eager to stand in front of him and (b) run him down from behind.

Being a "better" RB is largely subjective.

Guice just isn't in the same category. He'll be a good NFL player. LF7's ceiling is Hall of Fame

Guice is a pinball out there. Not sure how you can classify him as a back who really makes me people miss. He and Fournette both initiate contact. And Fournette's ability to stiff arm people is certainly "making people miss" and he does it every game.

And better balance? Fournette lowers his shoulder at full speed and stays up all the time. That's just one example.

You said it, exactly as it is.

Fournette doesn't make you miss in open space. But he's sure as shite going to try and truck you or put a face in the dirt.
