Tuscaloosa isn’t even trolling, my god dude. I saw him run untouched for a 75 yard TD because the blocking was so good against the Rams on the first play of the game. The rest of the game he had 21 carries for 40 yards.

There’s a difference between ‘big play ability’ by doing it on your own vs. being the recipient of phenomenal blocking on a certain play. My boy Gurley had a 70+ yard TD untouched vs. the 49ers his rookie year and you won’t hear me say Gurley had anything to do with the TD. Maybe you guys should watch the games instead of looking at the box score.

And no, I’m not saying Fournette is bad. He’s having a solid year as a rookie, but average at best, and I wish nothing but the best to him in the future.

So me wasting a Sunday night, when I'm off work for the holiday week, by slapping around a shitty troll has to mean I don't actually think you're a shitty troll?

That is some air tight logic. It fits in perfectly with the rest of the idiocy you plastered this thread with.

At least you're consistent, I guess.

He had 21 carries for 130 yards in that game.

Your computer should have a calculator function that can help you with that advanced math you're doing.

So you agree with him that Todd Gurley is a below average NFL running back then?

I mean, he does have a career 4.0 YPC.

The only thing you’ve slapped around is any semblance of rationality.

You have spent 7 pages angry that I called LF’s season average.

Looks to me like he averaged 2.75 YPC in his other 20 runs.

What did he average in his 21 though? Sooner or later you will grasp that this is all that actually matters.

I have never said this, FWIW, and it doesn’t matter how many times you repeat it - I will still have not said it.

I’d say he’s an average RB. Had a great rookie year, a really bad 2nd year, and is looking average again this year.

By the end of this season, you’ll understand what an outlier is, when LF has racked up 300 carries and his YPC has dropped to 3.9.

So You didn't say a .3 YPC difference was "significant" earlier?

Oh wait, you did. I've never seen one person contradict themselves so many times in a single thread.

Gurley isn’t as good as many make him out to be. He runs like a track star which is great when he breaks free but he struggles at making people miss, although he doesn’t go down easy. I say that as a Rams fans. Both him and Fournette are above average though. I bet you thought I’d say Gurley is the best in the NFL and Fournette is garbage. Unfortunately, I’m a realest and you’re a homer that thinks going 75 yards untouched means greatness whereas I said Gurley wasn’t the main one responsible for his 70+ yard untouched TD. The only people in this conversation that are delusional are LSU fans.

I'm a homer because I'm arguing with someone who said it was gracious to say Fournette is average (implying he's below average), when you just admitted he's above average?

Are you actually reading what you type out? Because it's really dumb.

I just want - once - for you to forumulate a rational argument without twisting words, hurling insults, or using irrelevant comparisons.

Tell me why you believe Leonard Fournette is anything more than I’ve given him credit for.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, was pointing out the multiple HOF running backs win an equal, or worse, YPC when you called Fournette barely average not good enough?

That single post shite all over your entire narrative. It's also the reason you had to pivot and start using "99%" of his carries.

Whatever man. You haven’t addressed a single point I posted. Tuscaloosa is saying Fournette is below average (which he is) when you take out incredible blocking where he went untouched for 80 yards for a TD. Gurley’s biggest gain this entire year is about 30 yards and he’s still averaging 4.4 YPC. Fournette is talented and I think he’ll be one of the best RBs in the league in the future. Make whatever you want of it but Fournette is average at best during his rookie year. I don’t understand why you’re so upset that you can’t accept it.

You do realize taking out big plays to try and make a point is really ignorant, right?

Being top 10 in the league in almost every major category is average at best?

Who knew?

Those running backs averaged that over the course of an entire career. That’s why you using that mythical comparison doesn’t hold water. That 99% argument is being used to point out that LF isn’t likely to finish at that number based on his normal weekly output. Because he’s only played 8 games, that 1% is severely distorting his numbers. That’s not an insult or me bashing Fournette. I’m simply pointing out that those two runs are outliers - and are extremely unlikely to be duplicated 4 times a year over the course of the year - which is what he’d need to do to continue to average 4.2 YPC. His YPC will drop significantly if he’s unable to duplicate a 90 yard and 75 yard run for every 175 times he runs the ball.

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.
