LF has a ton of touches in games that the Jags were blowing out the opposing team. I believe he has 90+ touches in games the Jags won by 2+ scores


He's got a lot of touches in all of their games. He's averaging 23 touches per games and it's not like the Jags are great at getting him the ball in space.

His injuries are no longer an outlier and his running style is not conducive to more than a 5 or 6 year career with that many touches.

What does Mariota sucking have to do with Bortles sucking?

That's part of it. He's gone from shite to suck but people here want to say he's good.

He's not.

He has more than a few games with less than 20 touches.... So no, not in all of their games....

He has only gone over 30 touches once this year and over 25 five times this year...

He ranks 8th in the NFL in touches, which is a lot and the players above him are Bell, Gurley, Hunt, McCoy, Gordon, Howard, and Hyde. Ingram is only 10 touches behind him and he has split time all season with Peterson and Kamara

90 yards from scrimmage at halftime today. 1,296 total for season in 12 and a half games.

He will end up about 11th in yards from scrimmage while only playing 13 games.

This doesn't help your point.

This doesn't either. Being 8th in touches despite missing 3 games is a problem when you're running into 8 man fronts about 55% of the time.

The Saints are the best in the league at getting their backs the football in space. The Jags, not so much.


I want Fournette to have a long and fruitful career. For him, with his style of running, thats probably 8 or 9 years of effective play, maximum, with 2 or 3 years of complimentary play. The way the Jags are using him he's going to be used up in half that time and be a shell for the final couple of season. I do not want to see that happen to him.

He had another high ankle sprain which may plague him all his career.
