you should just stop posting while you still have some your dignity.

Ive only seen highlights of him running over people. How does he block and catch out of the backfield? All that counts too.

i guess PFF feels like he hasn't had enough LSU callers to his show. that would be the only reason to make a comment that stupid.

Dude, AD is not coming back to Norman, OK. We know you think AD is the best ever. Good for you! You don't have to crash every Fournette thread. Big XII board is somewhere, but it's not here.

By pointing out that there is more to playing RB than just running the ball I am somehow losing dignity?

I get that everyone is impressed by LF running the ball, I am too, but you must recognize that there is room for improvement in other areas.

Go look at the stats I posted on the bottom of the first page. Pass blocking can't be quantified, but he's clearly better than the other backs listed.

LSU not using him in the passing game doesn't mean he can't catch. LSU never uses RBs in the passing game, just FYI.

Fournette has great hands and picks up blitzes well. You are trying too hard

That isn't what's making you look bad. It's the fact that you insinuated that his pass-catching & blocking leave a lot to be desired, and that's just foolish. Stop trying to crawfish & just own up to it.

First of all, I honestly think you pulled this out of your arse. Sorry but I watch LSU all game every game and I'm pretty sure LF7 hasn't dropped a pass thrown to him, it's not as if they throw it his way anyway. Second of all, I've watched fournette block for Bradon Harris and he is a very solid blocker. I would trust him on our O-line in fact.

You must recognize that he has ubelievable hands and pass catching capability. He honestly has better hands than our receivers So you saying he could improve on that makes you look like a jackass

Would you really want Fornette blocking you? ?? He blocks like he runs... Dumbass. !

Part of being a RB is also blocking and receiving.

One of the All-Time Dumbest posts I've ever read on this board and there have been thousands of really dumb posts.

Seriously! LSU only throws the ball 15 times a game. They rarely throw to the RB. So...... How can you possibly have seen LF have suspect hands????????

Just an FYI: I've never seen him drop a pass. The Man has Great hands.

Darn. Nick Chubb couldn't beat our South Alabama's Xavier Johnson for the #10 spot. Looks legit.

And he's had one game cancelled completely, a game in which he could have named his stats before the game and sat out the AU game with 4 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter & all of the 4th quarter. Too, he had a 87 yrd TD called back & a 23 yrd run called back in the same game due to a penalty. Point being, his stats could easily be a lot lot higher. And he's a 20 yr old sophomore.
