Les Miles seems to be the only person that appreciates LF7

I remember early in the season last year, LF7 being compared to other running backs on the team, and whether or not he was better than them.
Fast-forward to him trucking defenders at UF and Miss St. later that year, the debate was whether he was better than running backs of recent memory, such as Steven Ridley, or Jeremy Hill.
Then came his one-man wrecking crew game in the bowl versus ND, the first two games of this season, and now the debate was, was he the best running back ever at LSU, considering the exploits of Broussard and Faulk.
Subsequently Bo, Herschel, running backs of SEC lore came up, along with Earl Campbell and whatever great running backs could be found. All these comparisons...
...but Les got it right the very first time, before LF7 ever played an official game. He never compared him to any RB. He chose to compare him to the greatest athlete--Michael Jordan. Leonard Fournette is the MJ of running backs, and THAT'S what UF faces this Saturday, the greatest running back ever.

If you could go ahead and never post again, that'd be great.

I see that you live in Auburn. Which explains this post.

He's about a year and a half from retirement, IMO

About as long as Trent Richardson's NFL career.

Talking from experience? Did you choke on Chubbs???

now now, there's enough opportunities for both UGA fans and lsu fans to put players' genitals in their mouths. No need for argument.

Actually the OP got it right. Like it or not Miles said it.

Agreed.
I'm especially surprised that we haven't heard more about him from LSU fans. I wasn't sure who Lenny was until this thread.

Your opinion is very important to you

Check back in when he plays someone. He's no better than last year. He's just played bad defenses and busted a few big runs.
All it shows is how bad LSU's offense is for him to have almost half their entire offensive production.

You should probably tell that to your fellow Tiger fans- they seem convinced Fournette's really not that much better than his back up.
