In 4 seasons and 2 postseasons Fournette has 4839 yards

total rushing and receiving. He fumbles once every blue moon and still holds the record for 3 rushing touchdowns by a rookie in one playoff game. The question is..... Is someone a hater of the dude if they say he has been a total bust in the NFL? I say they are a hater and the dude is finally in a great system and is starting to hit his stride. If you are averaging over 1200 yards a year (2017-20), you are a very productive running back. What you say?

I say there’s a reason Brady wanted Fournette in his backfield.

You are right. Game recognize game.

Euther a hater of him or LSU

I've never considered him a bust. He's had some injuries but is really productive when healthy. Yea yea, he's no good if he's not on the field - RBs get beat TF up, though...especially when the line sucks. I bet Brady wants to punch him sometimes when he gets stone hands all of a sudden, though.

He’s a bust ONLY in the sense that you might expect more production from a first round pick.
But he is a starter in his 4th year and is playing for a SB. He is not a bust.

I think he is appreciating playing with a qb that defenses must scheme against.

You could say that this is the first year that he has really had a good QB in his entire football life.

He is averaging 88 yards from scrimmage per game for his career (49 regular season and 6 playoff games).
I would guess that is somewhere in the top 15 of all running backs in the NFL over those 4 seasons.

As someone who couldn't care less about lf7, while willing to kill for the chance to shake CeH hand, I agree. Im completely unbiased, the stats are right here and don't represent w flop at ALL, so I mean yeah dude.
Pretty sure he was miscalled as a flop at this point.

When Tampa got Fournette I was happy for him but worried for my Saints. I caught hell on my Facebook post that Fournette was a good QB away from being a top 5 NFL RB.
But his acceleration after contact and breakaway speed are unreal.

This critical TD run here is on par with the best to ever play the game.

low risk/high reward pick up for brady and the buccs
Posted on 2/5/21 at 11:27 pm to Yeahright
He had no business being the 4th overall pick, if he was a second rounder, he would be seen as moderately successful.

From scrimmage? Including playoff games? Meh.

Expectations were unrealistic going into the combine. He is a legit RB ,but early on was put into a category of being the next great RB before he even took a snap in the NFL. I put him in the same boat with Reggie Bush with the comparisons to Barry Sanders coming out of college.
Posted on 2/6/21 at 5:23 am to Yeahright
He averages 749 rushing yards a year and 310 yards receiving a year.... Dude is a stud as I doubt any other RB over the last 4 years can top those numbers

Wow

You are absolutely a hater if you say LF is a bust. He’s been on the field from day one. His first 3 seasons with the jags he was basically the entire offense for an incredibly dysfunctional and clueless franchise. I mean Blake bortles was his QB for Christ sake. He has repeatedly elevated his game in the post season. Already played in 6 playoff games and 2 conference championships with an overall record of 5-1. About to play in a Super Bowl as a key contributor. Extremely underrated as a receiver. He has a season where he caught 76 balls. That’s a pretty damn good resume. He doesn’t get the hype that Saquon Barkley gets (another highly drafted running back) but you could easily argue he’s been better. Certainly more durable which is a big deal. People on this board are quick to malign LF and I really don’t know why. He repped his home state and school and continues to. Even Considering the enormous hype surrounding him his college and nfl careers have been very successful. His sophomore year at LSU is the most dominant season by a Tiger RB I’ve ever seen. Kijana Carter is a bust. LF is a baller.

Reaching 2 conference championships with different teams in 4 years tells me that the guy is a winning player. Here’s to hoping he adds Super Bowl champion to his resume on Sunday.
