I saw that Guice could fumble inside the 5 and go the wrong way on the biggest play of the game, yet still be more effective.

2014 Florida #13 rush defense
Fournette - 27 car 140 yards 2 TDs (5.18 ypc)

2015 Florida #25 rush defense
Fournette - 31 car 180 yards 2 TDs (5.81 ypc) 1 rec 15 yards

2016 Florida #35 rush defense
Guice 19 car 83 yards 1 TD (4.37 ypc) 1 rec 29 yards

Guice is definitely more effective than an injured Fournette who couldn't even finish the game that he wasn't even supposed to play in.

I am not anti-Fournette by a long stretch, but I have felt that LSU has been a better team w Guice on the field.

Of course YOU would feel that way. Guice only played against one good defense all year at that was Florida. He won't against Louisville either as they are without 2 starting LBs, one with big stat line. I'm not saying Guice isn't incredible (because I have been preaching how good he is since his high school time), but in his LSU career, Guice hasn't gotten significant carries vs any team with a pulse on defense except Florida.

With that said, Fournette plays for a future, and Guice just plays, period.

Yeah I guess he does just play for a future when he decided to stay home to play for LSU instead of going to the Bama machine and likely doing even better over there, with 1-3 national championships.

Yeah I guess he does just play for a future when he averaged 25 carries per game last year and repeatedly ran against 8 and 9 man boxes with no passing game his entire career.

Yeah I guess he does just play for a future that even with a high ankle sprain he suffered during fall practice, he plays vs Wisconsin and Auburn (top 25 rush defenses), and every other big opponent he could. I mean anybody that watched the UF game, knows he was very healthy, and also didn't get injured for like the 3rd or fourth time this year. I mean he also didn't get hurt against Auburn and came back in anyway to try to block on one leg right? I mean that's what we are doing now right?

Questioning the effort of a guy who carried the ball like he was the only offense as a sophomore, and played gimpy and injured in a year where he could earn 20-30 million. I don't understand some LSU fans. This man could have completely destroyed LSU with Bama while also winning national championships, but decided to come here instead, yet this is the thanks he gets for finally looking out for himself.

I mean we'll go to bat for the guy because he gave his high school award away to another player, or came to apologize to another team for the way he acted on the field, or donating his autographed jersey to an auction for flood victims, or letting his teammates get a piece of the action when he could have easily broken 300 yards in multiple games last year, but God forbid he finally looks out for himself and his kid by not playing in a crappy arse bowl game or not going to some team banquet (WTF, who cares).

How f**king selfish some of you are.

You Tigerdroppings posters never cease to amaze me with your stupidity. You all have no idea if Leonard Fournette is hurt, but you think he is faking it. You turn your back on him now that he is finished playing. Some idiot thinks jabrill Peppers is not really. Your spurts bar hero theories are on display

---

You totally responded to Rick in the wrong context, he's saying that Fournette was the most consistent guy on offense and that if not for he and Guice it would've been some though years of watching LSU football. Basically, LSU owes the players more than the players owe the school.

Oh how quickly we forget, how many games did Fournette hop off the field on one leg this season? How many games did he play in that he should've sat out? The kid should've missed the first 4 games at minimum, but he played for his team and you (the fans). Now some of us want to act like none of his positives can out weigh the agent signing. We all want to see him play, I wanted to see him finish with 1,000 yards. He's a good kid that probably feels like there is nothing left to prove. Many on here down talked him for playing against Bama and Florida, now that he's doing what you want he's the bad guy. Fournette is playing for the future, just like everyone else that has suited up this weekend.

Wasted career at LSU that is a fact Les Miles screwed this guy with an offensive coordinator that was twenty years behind the times .

Hell Les was twenty years behind the times LF has had enough of LSU . Never made it to NY to the big stage cash the advance check from Jay Z Leonard you deserve it .

Personally i think all draft eligible players should sit, I would hate for them to have their career ruined like Ben Wilkerson.

No chest

Let's make this really simple. Leonard, as a fan I truly enjoyed watching you play at LSU; I also commend you for staying home and playing in Louisiana. I wish you luck in the NFL; you are getting to live every athletic kid's dream.

no

We wouldn't be having this conversation if doubts about his health were not present from all.

The questions about the health of his ankle and the fact he reinjured this ankle 3 times this year as he tried to help the Tigers is the issue. Fournette never healed the ankle all year and there is no question about this. His high ankle sprain hobbled him in 4 to 5 of the 7 games he played and I am not sure he was 100% all year.

I have no doubt about this ankle is not 100% healed even today.

Could LF7 take the field today and perform?
No doubt he could

Is his ankle healed?
No doubt is not 100%

? if you were a dentist and you put a filling in a tooth could the patient eat something hard that night with out it falling out answer yes but would you recommend this NO

why take the risk
