Jax is a dumpster fire on steroids.

The “fans” in Jax don’t even give one frick about the team.

It’s a blessing in disguise if LF can get the frick out of there.

Started getting more noticeable when he signed with Jay-Z and left town.

Heisman pose was silly but pushing on the FL coach then deciding HE was suddenly going to play displayed the start of potential issues.

Tom Coughlin is the one who called LF and Yeldon selfish and disrespectful. Coughlin is not the HC.

you should to. They have Gurley, Barkley and Fournette.

They dont have a quarter of the premier athletes in the NFL as other agencies. They have a handful of marginal players in baseball.

There is zero reason a top pick should put their future in their hands.

I agree. I think he hates it in Jacksonville, feels disrespected, doesn't like Coughlin, maybe doesn't like Marrone and is acting out. He's clearly unhappy but he should reign it in and be professional.

Why are you laughing? He has been exposed and had one of the most embarrassing years in recent memory for a RB

Being professional won't get you traded. This is not the NBA you can't just demand a trade and get it.

Jacksonville is growing kind of tired of 2.4 ypc and staying on the bench

Look up some history on Coughlin. He’s a relic and full of hot air.

I’m not a fan of how Fournette has played and acted this year, but you’re making an unfounded leap in calling him toxic.

He made the choice. He could have waited another year, won the Heisman, and been the first player chosen. Isn't that the scenario fans love.
Maybe Jacksonville would have selected Mahomes or another good QB.

You should probably refrain from joking like this. I know the position you were taking but anything racial can get you perma banned and id hate to see a good poster get gone.


Rick, you are no doubt correct.

But it’s amazing the POS racists on this board who are NOT being sarcastic and ironic, never get banned, and are allowed to post right along.

What do you expect ? He created a “Buga” alter ego and everyone around him falls at his feet. Hopefully he has a good enough head on his shoulders to get right.

Dude been coasting ever since he joined the Jaguars and he's totally wrong for that. Just because you was big shite at LSU doesn't mean you go to the pros and this great organization that thinks the world of you thinking in that manner. These people rolled out the red carpet for him since his arrival there, and in return he has basically shite the bed with these people. If I was his old man (Dad) I'll be all over him telling him just how wrong he is.

He hasn't done shite since he's been with these people unlike Ezekiel Elliott who hit the ground running in Dallas and has continued his storm there in lighting it up in proving what a great RB should be. Fournette hasn't done jack shite, and if these people have taken back the guaranteed money good for them, they recognized that he's being a fraud with them. He's gotten lazy and is nowhere near the RB he was at LSU. He already had a big head when he arrived at LSU with all the media attention he received coming out of St. Aug with doing the Heisman pose and all that shite in his freshman year. LOL Then he broke out bigtime in his soph year running for almost 2,000 yds and he's been missing in action ever since. He got hurt bad the beginning of his Jr year from stupid drills that Miles had them doing, and he hasn't been the same RB since then.

Looks like someone gave him bad advice, family or family friends, and he's been coasting, taking it easy ever since, and that's just not good. He should have hit the NFL just like Elliott looking to prove he's a great RB because he needed to do it more than Elliott with not having really done anything since his soph year. It's sad imo because the dude is a freak of a RB that can catch as well as run the ball, but they get huge heads when getting that kind of money and they stop working hard. Jeremy Hill is another one, Cincy thought the world of him after his rookie year, and then he stopped running and playing hard after getting paid. Yeah, they'll probably cut Fournette's arse and he deserves it.

Remember the Heisman pose after scoring one yard TD playing little sister of the poor? Set off alarm bells.


Yes and he had a very poor start to that season and had done nothing to warrant even the vaguest notion of being even thought of as a Heisman candidate to that point. To me then and there it at the very least showed some me first in him very early.

The result of becoming legendary in HS. It's grown on him through the years

He's still got time to grow up though

Tom Coughlin likes things a certain way as does Marrone. There is unrest in the organization with the qb situation and some very provocative personalities like Jalen Ramsey, Myles Jack, Calais Campbell, and AJ Bouye.

LF is a rookie amongst that. He’s not the alpha dog and he’s got a big ego. It’s a different ball game in the nfl. They don’t handle you with soft hands anymore.

That lockeroom lacks a real leader.
