All I need for you to do is explain to me how LF’s YPC is anything other than average.

You can’t. Which is why you haven’t. Just stop. You’re embarrassing yourself. I like you. Don’t do this to yourself.


I've already posted 4 hall of fame running backs who have the same, or worse, YPCs. Is the Hall of Fame now full of average players?

It was a hypothetical.

Your boy averaged less than 4 YPC today against the 0-10 Cleveland Browns. That’s not a hypothetical.

He is averaging 3.2 YPC in 99% of his attempts this year. That is also not a hypothetical.

You incorrectly stated that LF is averaging 4.3 and have tried to compare his 8 games to players who maintained that over long careers.

If LF continues to average 3.2 YPC in 99% of his attempts, he will possibly be out of the league completely at the end of his rookie contract.

I wonder how long it will take him to realize Cleveland has the #1 rushing defense in the league......

Fournette is better than any rb bama has put in the league EVER. He's the best rb to come out of the sec since 2006 without question. He's one of the best rbs in the league right now as a rookie, and he will only get better. Fournette will be a nfl hall of famer, none of the others will be...period.

It does, but 4.2 YPC 100% of the time doesn't suck. In fact, it can get you into the HOF.

He’d have to pop a 90 yard run and a 75 yard run every 175 carries for that to happen. I don’t think I have to explain to you how unlikely that is.

Fournette ran untouched through a 20 foot hole for a 75 yard TD on the Jags opening play against my Rams. The rest of the game he had something like 22 carries for 40 yards. Very sad.

"As long as he doesn't keep making big plays he is going to suck."

So far ITT you've claimed:

- 4 hall of fame backs are "below average".
- The consensus top 2 backs in the NFL this year are having a "below average" year.
- Leonard Fournette will likely be out of the league at the end of his rookie contract.

Yet you think you've somehow won this argument. That's gold.

You completely fabricated that. You’re chasing your tail trying to talk about HOF career stats and accusing me of calling them below average. But even with your twisted logic and poor reading comprehension, you can’t argue that I’ve called them anything worse than average (haven’t done that either), because that’s what I’ve called LF’s season.

quote:

Are they averaging 3.8 YPC? Then yes, they’re having a below average year. Nobody with a single functioning brain cell would argue otherwise. Having a below average season does not make them below average backs. The player I brought up - Bell - has averaged 4.9, 4.9, and 4.7 YPC the last 3 seasons. We know he’s a very good back.

quote:

If he continues to average 3.2 YPC, he’ll be backing up Trent Richardson in the CFL.

Fournette averages 4.3 yards per attempt. Idk where you're getting those numbers. He also has 147 attempts and the longest run in the nfl this year at 90 yards. You're fake news. He's in the top 7 rbs in the nfl in yards and has done that while being suspended for an entire game...as a rookie for the jags. He's 43 yads being ingram with the saints with all that being said. Fournette is one of the best rbs in the nfl as a rookie. What the frick are you talking about?

Every pundit around the league has Bell and Gurley as 1 and 2 THIS YEAR dipshit. Yet Gurley is averaging 4.4 YPC and Bell is 3.8. Again, for emphasis, they are the consensus top 2 THIS YEAR......2017.

But what happens when he averages 4.2, like he is right now?

Espn site i went to didn't count this week I guess. Either way, his stats arent what you said they were and you aren't giving him credit. He's a hell of a rb and will only get better as he matures in the league.

Link? I haven’t seen anything of the sort any time recently. I still believe he’s a Top 5 overall RB in the league, but he’s not having a Top 5 year, and it’s literally impossible to argue otherwise. Fantasy experts, who make their living from the production of these players, have been disappointed.

You believe he will break a 90 yard run and a 75 yard run twice a season?

No. Contrary to the show you’ve put on in this thread, for what reason - I don’t know, you seem to be a rational person. It is flatly irrational to assume those types of runs will happen 4 times a year.

I’m giving him plenty of credit. He’s having an average season in the NFL. That’s something 99.9% of college runningbacks never get to experience.

That’s pushing it.

That’s up to him and is yet to be seen.
