Dude's got less than 60 yards in two games vs non cupcake opponents. If he were half as good as he was touted, no way he wouldn't have at least 15 carries, committee or no.
He is #7 in the conference in all-purpose yards with 123/game. Fournette may not be tearing it up as a RB, but he has quietly accumulated yards as a true triple-threat (run, catch, return).
Just thought people should know about it, because bashing him has become really popular.

There is no counter arguement. Just showing the same level of maturity displayed by these moron fans as they've been showing to us. A real debate is pointless and a waste of effort and time.

Dude maybe miles is giving Hilliard the bulk of the work because he's a senior. Dumbass
I said nothing about:
1) LF's production
2) Miles decisions as a coach
3) Hilliard
So I'm the dumbass here?

It is also worth noting that Fournette is #1 among SEC freshmen in all-purpose yards.
The next FR on the list is Speedy Noil with 108 yards per game. Yet, for some reason, everyone thinks Speedy is awesome but Fournette sucks.

he has 239 yards as a kickoff returner only averaging 23.90 yards a return. That is nearly half of his all purpose yards. Getting 60 yards a game in average kickoff returns isn't impressive.

u mad bro?
Nobody here is saying Fournette is terrible, a bust, doesn't have a future, or anything even remotely close to that. We just haven't seen anything up to this point that would justify all the hype he got by the whole state of Louisiana.
So by definition, he is overrated. Not sure how any logical person can disagree with that.

You're missing the point. The last 3 post by myself is a reflection of how responses to LSU fans have been. I can sit here and debate but it's pointless. It's aggravating to try to look at a board for useful info about sec football, but instead see constant irrational bashing on LSU

Christion Jones averages about 25.50 yards per return and everyone thinks he is a great return man (and he is). So does 2 extra yards per return the difference between good and not good? Impressive and not impressive?

If you're easily aggravated by threads, I wouldn't suggest a "most overrated recruit" thread.
It seems some are a glutton for punishment. You can usually tell from the thread title how it's going to turn out.

By your definition, and by the expectations we had for him, this was an almost inevitable conclusion.

Jones has sucked returning the ball this season imo. He looks tentative to me. He has had some issues hanging on to a few passes as well. I hope he turns it around. Nothing impressive about Jones game so far this year.

Bagman,
Didn't mean to come off defensive at you, but yeah you are right. Just a frustrating to be an LSU fan at this time good luck on your season

Nope. Doubles and triples all 1st half. He let the other guys accumulate the sacks b/c he's nice like that.

About half of Speedy Noil's all-purpose yards have come on kickoff and punt returns. Do we discount all of those yards, too? The fact remains that Fournette LEADS SEC freshmen in all-purpose yards. The #2 freshman in this category is well behind him.
You are trying to spin this conversation to make your position seem grounded when it isn't. This has led you to criticize your own player when he has been a solid return guy for Bama (Jones).
The facts don't match up with your preconception of Fournette, and your response is to try to discount the new information you have encountered. I am here to point that out and call you on your BS.

Other Bama fans might disagree with me, but I have been less than impressed with Jones this season. I didn't bring him up in this thread.
My point is grounded when talking about the subject of this thread. LF has been an average player this year in all phases. He has been average in returns, receiving and rushing.
I could not care less about Speedy Noil because I didn't see an A&M fan try to spin him as better than he is by posting his all purpose yards.
The fact still remains that almost half of the yards you use to boost LF are yards where he catches a kick and fails to get back to the 25. The guy might become the best RB to ever play in the SEC, but to this point (and I agree it is too early to tell) he has not lived up to the hype bestowed upon him by LSU fans and national media.
If it makes you feel better neither has Coker.

The thing that LSU fans are yet to comprehend is that being overrated or underrated has everything to do with hype and expectations coming into the season. LF is clearly a very good running back...but the next Adrian Peterson
. He will be a serviceable back, but nothing more, nothing less. The Heisman talk, and pose, is absurd.
