Yes, that 332 yards and 3 TDs over 6 games is going to bring in a ton of bank.


I mean.....have you seen what Brady is doing this season?

They barely need to run the ball.

Because they get vicarious self esteem through something successful. Even though they have zero to do with it. Human nature. We all tend to do it.

Good thing he's earning himself another contract now.


Another one year deal for $3.25 million. Less than 50% of what he got in any year under his rookie contract. Personally I wouldnt call him a bust but he performed well under his draft position

That's just a part of playing for Jacksonville.

Bama fans get so blinded by the Henry vs Fournette debate they just assume because Henry is a top 2 back in the NFL, Fournette is a scrub.

He has 2 1000+ yard seasons, and has a chance for a third this year. He played a big role in the postseason for the Bucs last year and he carried the JAGUARS of all teams to an AFC championship.


Fournette was so bad in Jacksonville that they literally cut him because they couldn’t trade him. He’s averaged 3.9 YPC or less in 3 of his 5 NFL seasons, and has scored 2+ TDs 6 times in 5 years. Even this year, in his “comeback” year - he’s averaged less than 4 YPC in 50% of his games.

In summary: He was drafted 4th overall, was cut at the end of his first contract, and in his best game of the year in 2021, only averaged 3.68 YPC. He’s a bust.

They really are such an IRL sad bunch. Not one of those low IQ Facebook post commenters hold a degree at an institution of higher learning

Gale Sayers' bust is in the Hall of Fame. Playoff Lenny will pass him in total yardage within the next year.

Well done. This is maximum insecurity.

As smart as you? I agree, only a couple.

Smarter? 90, maybe 95%.

If they were really that smart, you'd think they'd understand the health risks to any future children that are a product of sibling fricking.

Leonard Fournette is an NFL bust


Based on draft capital yes. Hes been a fine RB otherwise, and hes been really good this year. Put him on a different team to start his career and I think it goes very differently, just not Henry level.

People forget Henry was splitting time with Dion Lewis and was frankly pretty meh/bad for a few years there. His breakout has been insane.

When you win 18 national championships, you should be the center of attention

All of this.

Fournette certainly should not have been picked that early, but that's the kind of move teams like Jacksonville make.

Put me in the Mel Kiper camp that no running backs should be picked in the first round.
