Fournette is great but the fact is he came in and took time to adapt to the speed of college, developing his vision, etc.

Herschel Walker showed up and could name his desired yardage total from day 1.

So did backs like Justin Vincent and Cedric Benson and look how they ended up. There's nothing wrong with taking time to adjust so long as you get there in the end. That's actually much better than starting off hot and tailing off because you have shitty work ethic (Vincent) or you just had the benefit of a really good team (Benson) for that one year.

Good thing Chubb didn't need any time to adapt during his first collegiate game ever.
