Why hasn’t LF performed at the same level as

guys like Dalvin Cook and Henry? Is it just a matter of playing in a worse offense? Or is he simply just not as good?
I’ll stan LF till the day I die, but it’s seems peculiar he hasn’t been as good as you think he would with the natural talent he has.

His o-line is not very good.

Jacksonville has a trash offensive line for starters. Just as he did under Les Miles, he has faced more loaded boxes than any other back.

Barry Sanders had atrociously bad o lines in Detroit and still performed. I don’t like the bad o line excuses. Does it help to have a great o line? Sure, ask Emmitt Smith, but it’s not the end all be all.

Yes but cook is more elusive in the open field and can get to top speed faster.

Sanders is one of the greatest RB's of all time.
Hard to win in the NFL with mediocre QB and OL. Especially if you're a North/South runner like LF.

Barry is the GOAT and had the quickness/moves to deal with bad blocking. Fournette is not elite until he gets going downhill, he needs a couple steps.
Once he gets them he’s top notch. If you hit him behind the line before he gets momentum, he’s average.

Because of the head coach and the guy that did not like fournette in coughlin. Not many people liked coughlin.

If you have to ask you wouldn’t understand the answer

Injury, but he has had multiple 200 yard games in his career and multiple 1000 yard seasons.
What difference are you looking for?
LF led the Jags to the AFC championship too.

He almost took his team to the Super Bowl as a rookie.

They are better than him. I liked Guise better at lsu.

O line. Qb. System, play calling.
Drafted by Jax and not Vikings.
Heck think if he was behind that Cowboy OLine.

Please God let’s get to the N.C. game

Henry and Cook are better. LF isn't a bad nfl back but he's in the 2nd tier

They are horrible. When he fulfills his contract, he will be able to move to a team that can provide a line worthy of his talents.

Henry sucked for several years. It helps when you get competent QB and line play. Titans have done a better job sticking to their identity of playing good D and running the ball down your throat until you start gashing them in the 2nd half. Jags are in disarray in every facet.
The Fournette VS Henry debate is yet again defined by who has the better supporting cast.
ETA - ok let me clarify. Henry didn't "suck" but he wasn't a world beater and not putting up huge numbers at first. Now the Titans have a better coaching staff and QB play, and now he's crushing. I'm not disparaging Henry, I think he's great. Just commenting on how talent isn't the only factor in production

He’s run out of the I-form his whole career.

LF is power, and power doesn't work when getting hit by 2 large men in the backfield or at the line. Stop watching football.
