The Jags have been perfectly fine putting up with Ramsey's shite

It's easier to deal with antics when you're producing on the field. Fournette hasn't lived up to his contract on the field and the fight and being a diva are means to an end

Also, an all pro cornerback is harder to find than a running back.

Carlos Hyde started the fight. AMong others.... fournette backed up his teammates and finished the fight. I don’t hear anything about Carlos Hyde’s wages being reduced

Yeah, Fournette's 3.9 ypc dragged the Jags to the AFC Championship game last year, not their dominant defense.

He did destroy Pittsburgh in the playoffs when the D was not at all dominant.

Hope they do cut him. A contender will snatch him up with quickness.

Bortles isn't that bad. He'll be scapegoated because of his contract but the offensive line going to shite and the Jags having one okay pass-catching weapon fricked him. He'll probably get another starting shot and I bet he'll look a lot better than he did this season


Bortles has always been average at best, even with good talent.

Remember the playoffs last year? He couldn't even complete a 5 yard check down. Dude has horrible fundamentals. That's not on an OL or receiving options.

He has the 2nd worst passer rating among all multi year starters (worst is Keenum). One of the worst career ratings of any current starter.

The #1 rushing offense in the nfl in a yards per game says hey. Blake bortles and the jags d did pretty well without fournette this year.

Symbiotic relationship. Jags needed the running game, jags needed the defense. They averaged more yards per game than any team. Jags just scorned their best offensive player. Good luck with that

Agreed. LF will never be the back that Ingram is.

He had a good game, but there are 30 other running backs who can get you 110 yards with 25 carries.

Leonard Fournette came off the bench, ran across the field and started fighting. It’s bad no matter how you look at it.

If Jameis Winston or Cam Newton would’ve done the same, you opinion would be substantially different.

How many backs have had 100+ yd 3 TD playoff games?

RB might be the most easily replaceable position in the NFL

Fournette has star talent but he hasn't produced like a star and the money can be better spent elsewhere. Not sure why that's hard to grasp

There are plenty of team's willing to take on a talent like Fournette.


No, there won't be.

Is a 1 yard or 3 yard touchdown run supposed to make my dick hard? Fournette's stats have all come due to volume of touches.

Over two years he's averaged 3.7 yards per carry and has missed 13 games. That is terrible production from a player drafted that high.

It did...

Unless you believe that the Steelers missed the playoffs because James Conner's 1500 yards from scrimmage wasn't good enough
