Clyde. You think fournette would've made any of those guys miss on the backfield when clyde would just spin right out

No, but Fournette would have broken a lot more big runs

Fournette will shine at some point if his body and mind can survive long enough for the opportunity to arise.

It doesnt matter how few there are in the box when one is running free and you're left by yourself to make him miss. Clyde made them miss consistently. Any time someone got in the backfield on fournette he struggled to get anything unless they were just off balanced and he could break the tackle. And way to ignore the fact we had several less blockers staying in last year so a 6 man box was equivalent to an 8 man with fournette when he had 7 blockers picking up a guy. You're still left to make one miss. Clyde can do that and LF cant.

I’m really good at hindsight. So ask me in 10 years.

Or Kevin Faulk in last seasons offense?

I think you can take any LSU running back that played at LSU and they would shine significantly in this seasons offense.

Would have been awfully fun to watch Buga in last years offense. Especially in certain games. Kevin Steele’s 3-1-7 would not have been an option then as we all know Auburn DBs did not care for tackling Buga. That being said, Clyde was perfect for Bama. It’s hard to say which one id choose in NFL without knowing the scheme. Clyde will do great for the right program. Could be a Kamara type player.

I like the kid because he plays the game like it should be played having played the game my self. CEH leaves everything out there while Fournette I've noticed has developed this I play when I feel like it attitude while there in Jacksonville, and he's wrong for that. Fournette may have obvious size and talent advantages, but I'll take the kid over him anytime because of what I just said about him.

Also, to comment on what you said about Fournette's lack of vision and inferior instincts. LF's vision isn't as bad as a Trent Richardson's, he can find holes albeit he's not quick enough in reading the scrimmage like a Saquon Barkley or somebody, and so he tends to run straight into the LOS a lot because the OLine blocking isn't the best for Jacksonville. But he's always had exceptional hands and was just never used at LSU in catching the ball out of the backfield like CEH was this past season because of the type of offense he played in under one Les Miles. But he has caught the ball some while there at Jacksonville when they discovered he could do so.

1. Guice
2. Clyde
3. Buga

Fournette relied solely on his size and speed. When he was against similar athletes he was super average. Clyde can get it done multiple ways
