I’m a self admitted LSU homer and obvis a fan of Fournette. But when I take my purple and gold glasses off, I believe I see what’s going on. He was bigger, faster, stronger in high school and most part college. But that shite doesn’t play in the NFL. I dnk maybe stop buying crazy cars, chains, and renting out private jets for your boys all the time, and focus on being the greatest. That’s huge difference between Sequon and LF7. Sequon wants to be the greatest to ever do it, and you see it in the way he carries himself. Don’t see that with LF7. Again just my outside opinion.

That sounds like a meaningless narrative around their personal lives crafted to fit what we’ve seen on the field so far. The difference between Saquon and Fournette’s production probably has much more to do with Saquon’s superior pass catching abilities and explosiveness (especially as compared to a sub 100% Fournette) than any propensity to buy expensive cars

I’ll get slammed for this, I just think his attitude is I made it out the hood got a little paper I’m good. He seems lazy to me I don’t know. I’m forming my opinion from social media and diff snippets from the organization. I repeat that’s just the vibe I get. I could be very wrong and I hope I am bc I want him to succeed and not end up like Trent Richardson.

Fournette has proven to be far from an ideal pro in Jacksonville, and it’s clear the team is growing tired of his unchanging ways.


I expected, based upon how he handled himself at LSU, that he would be a true professional. Obviously, not to this point.

Yep, Coughlin has a history of being an a-hole to his players, Leonard not so much. I'll reserve judgement, but whoever gets Leonard is getting a good back.

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.


This is probably true.

Imagine the jags trying to attract players by pulling shite like this


You do realize that Jax just became a lot more appealing to the type of player an organization actually wants to attract, right? The ones who want to win and not just enhance their social media platform? This was a great move for the Jaguars.

I'd cut him in a heart beat, he's damaged goods.

Little Ears is a thug piece of shite and deserves every bit of this. I hope his bitch arse never sees the field again.

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


Meh. He’s not going to get less injury prone. Stop being a homer for a second.

A. He came off the bench to start a fight.

B. He’s made of fricking glass.

I’d try to get rid of his arse too.

A well rested one, anyway. He’s missed 11 games in two seasons.

The Jaguars seem like a pretty shitty organization. It would probably be pretty good for Fournette to get out of there.

He’s actually spot on. Ingram has better vision, better receiving, actually understands the nuance and timing of the screen game, and is a genuine leader. Fournette charges into the back of his line play after play and is already breaking down physically. He’s essentially worthless as a back when he loses any of his burst.

There are lots of backs who can give the jags what he gives them for a fraction of the price.

$7.1mil to keep LF another 2 seasons is cheap. He's not going anywhere.

Sounds like pointless act unless they cut him?

Basically it is a I am not super happy with you right now, and we can cut you.

But they aren't actually cutting him.

LF should hold out next year
