Ok to think that. Let others say it. He was a millionaire w/ or w/o a QB.

Who exactly is he offending here? Besides guys who already know they aren’t good QBs?

I’ve always hated this excuse when it comes to Fournette’s production. People act like he’s the only running back, in college or the nfl, to play with poor QB play. There are numerous superstar skill players that have had success with sub-par QBs.

He needs to see the open space, read the hole and make a cut. Besides his attitude, he has to become a running back. His problem has always been vision and instinct. He can’t overpower defenders in the NFL. He has all the physical skills: power, agility and speed.

I don’t think sub par accurately described the combo of Harris-Etling-Bortles- Foles- Minshew
And fournette has had success with those guys, so your point doesn’t really make sense. It’s not unreasonable to be excited to see what an upgrade in surrounding talent can do for your production.

Name the RBs that have had superstar careers with QBs/offenses as bad as Fournette.

I don't think he is using it as an "excuse" he is just stating a fact lol. Also he has 2 1300+ total yard seasons in 3 years while being on the worst ran franchise in the NFL. His production is fine.

I don’t know what point you think you’re making but Fournette had massive amounts of success in college too

While possibly true, still shows his maturity level. It would have been better to say it is a great opportunity to play with a HOF QB. No reason to shite on others.

A lot of LSU fans just don’t want to admit that Fournette isn’t a great NFL back, he’s just another RB in the NFL.

You don’t? Your rants on the poli board say otherwise.

He just doesn't have elite vision. Flared up in college a bit, but he could mostly run over/around everyone still.
I do think he could be a top 10 NFL RB if he had a good QB and offense though. It will allow him to get a head of steam and open up lanes, which he needs. But once he's moving, he's tough to stop.

I don't know what he is talking about! Etling just got cut from a NFL team!

Of course, it's always someone else's fault. Grow up, shut up and go out and do your job instead of faulting others for your lack of production and crappy attitude!

What Fournette said is why he got the "bad attitude" reputation that I believe was total bs. Fournette ran against 8 man fronts in Tom Coughlin's dinosaur offense, and when Fournette wanted the offense to change, they called him out for not being a "team" player. Again, bs.
If Tampa Bay can run block while running a viable passing game with Tom Brady, then Leonard will wreak havoc.

Pretty funny after he was just helping Brandon Harris recruit for UT.
