Two Elite NFL Running Backs, that is all

Well, player B is Fournette

You're better than this. A Trent Richardson vs Fournette thread?

Now do Gurley

I dont think their gumbo is ready to hold that much crow

I don’t think his point is Fournette sucks. I think his point is this board was drenched in Richardson a bust threads but yet LSU fans remain eeerily silent applying a different set of standards to their former players. It’s a fair point and not t necessarily directed at you but LSU fans are notorious for shite talking and they’re going to have to eat a few shite sandwiches when it bites them in the arse.

Me prophesying this exact development

I mean I’m not going to refute any points that have been made but I just want to add that Op notes that both played in bad offenses, which is true for first 2 years. However, Trent Richardson joined the colts in the midst of 2 11-5 seasons in which they were a very good offensive team. He proceeded to turn in absolutely horrible production. Now I’ll add once again that before and following his tenure the colts were an abysmal running team so it’s unfair to fully blame him.

In conclusion, for running backs team matters.

Mighty big shift from GOAT within 5 years

Both were overrated from a physical freak standpoint. Trent was strong, but stiff and lost some top end speed between his freshman year and his Jr year imo.

Fournette has great size/speed ratio, but his 28.5 vertical leap was the 2nd worse of any RB this millennium. It was eye opening as far as lower body strength and explosion.

Both have horrible vision. Fournette has bad balance and Trent has poor acceleration through the hole.

Both would have benefited from different run schemes.

Trent ran well at Bama out of the pistol. Being deep in the backfield allowed him time to accelerate before getting to the line of scrimmage.

Fournette ran a lot behind a full back at LSU. The hole is well defined when you run behind a lead back and his lack of vision was masked.

I agree wholeheartedly look no further than the Saints before they made an all out effort to become a more balanced offense. It has also helped Breese as well in my opinion.
