When are you going to realize his "normal weekly output" is 4.2 YPC and 86 YPG? No matter how many times you throw a hissy fit about it, that's not changing until next sunday.
Let me see if I can rephrase it all for you.
Do you believe that Leonard Fournette is going to finish the season with two runs of 90 yards, and two runs of 75 yards?
Of course not, because contrary to what this thread suggests, you’re a rational person with some level of education.
So, safely assuming he does not duplicate those outlier runs, but continues to touch the ball at his current rate, he will finish with about 348 carries, 1,315 yards, and 3.78 YPC.
Can we agree that 3.78 YPC is below average?
ETA: These numbers are based on 8 more games for LF, which would require a Jaguars playoff birth.

Truth be told, the SEC is the last conference with the persistence to keep running the ball. Which, in a way with offenses today, has allowed the rest of the conferences to catch up competitively. I might be wrong but it would explain the glut of today's NFL backs.

You sure did spend a lot of time and effort failing to prove Leonard Fournette is an average running back.

Best I’ve seen (college only):
Darren McFadden
Derrick Henry
Todd Gurley
Mark Ingram
Leonard Fournette
Tre Mason
Jeremy Hill
Trent Richardson

Wasn't Fournette a first team All American? Yeah them first team All Americans don't do anything

McFadden and Henry were the only two that I was in awe of when watching them.
Henry shouldn’t be allowed to be as fast as he is at that size.

Too hard to rank in order all these guys in some order: McFadden, Gurley, Chubb, Fournette, Henry, Guice, Mason, Lattimore, Ingram, Moreno.

No Tre Mason or Henry

Arguing with LSU fans about their former players NFL careers is pointless. They are not rationale. Fournette in their mind is a future HOF, in reality 99% of his carries have gone for 3.2 ypc.
They actually believe Jarvis Landry is one of the best WRs because he catches a lot of 3 yard catches. It's flat out ridiculous how uninformed they are.
That guy keeps trying to compare Gurley and Bell to Fournette when they are both elite at catching the ball out of the back field so they are always productive. They also have other seasons where they have proven to be elite.
Gurley has 425 yards receiving and is averaging 11.2 ypc. Just for reference Jarvis Landry has 567 receiving yards and is only averaging 8.5 ypc. Bell is so good catching they line him up out wide at WR. They are totally different caliber of backs.
Leonard is on pace to break down and not get a significant 2nd contact if something doesn't change.

The NFL could give less than a shite about stats or college production. It doesn't hurt, but they don't base much on that.

You're so rustled that Fournette isn't as bad as you wish he was that you, literally, made up stats because your narrative was falling apart.
That's so pathetic that I actually feel a bit sorry for you.

Weird to me that Alabama has none on the all-time top 10 list... not that it's terribly significant, just that I think of Alabama as historically another good program for RBs, would have thought they'd have one on as well.

I didn’t make up anything. I extrapolated his current stats over the course of an entire season and let you decide whether or not he would duplicate those 90 and 75 yard runs. It’s not hard. You still haven’t answered those questions.
Will he duplicate those runs and finish the season with two 90 yard runs and two 75 yard runs?
Is 3.78 YPC below average?
TIA.

I think it's probably because Alabama rolls great backs in every couple of years. Most of the players on the all time list were feature back for the better part of four years.
