re: Why hasn’t LF performed at the same level as

Barry Sanders had atrociously bad o lines in Detroit and still performed. I don’t like the bad o line excuses. Does it help to have a great o line? Sure, ask Emmitt Smith, but it’s not the end all be all.

Sanders is one of the greatest RB's of all time.
Hard to win in the NFL with mediocre QB and OL. Especially if you're a North/South runner like LF.

Barry is the GOAT and had the quickness/moves to deal with bad blocking. Fournette is not elite until he gets going downhill, he needs a couple steps.
Once he gets them he’s top notch. If you hit him behind the line before he gets momentum, he’s average.

LF is power, and power doesn't work when getting hit by 2 large men in the backfield or at the line. Stop watching football.

Barry Sanders is the greatest RB of all time. No one is confusing LF for Barry. Emmitt Smith ran behind one of the greatest O-Lines in NFL history for most of his career. Not saying that LFs issues aren't with his O-Line, but rather you could not have chosen to more terrible comparisons to make that argument.

Are you one of those people who think every RB runs the same? If you actually watched BS and LF run the ball you would immediately recognize the differences. BS was a side to side runner who would sometimes run 50 yards to gain 10.
LF is a north and south runner who might run 20 yards to gain 10 in an extreme situation.
LF needs an OL. BS wants an OL.
I loved watching BS run, but it was not "Championship level" play. Championship level runners may wiggle, but they don't constantly run backwards.

Barry Sanders was a completely different type of Running Back. LF is a power back and needs a good offensive line to create some lanes. Sanders was not that kind of back. Sanders is in the Hall of Fame for a very good reason

There’s always exceptions, but yours is arguably the best RB of all time.
