Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

The only thing completely crazy about this is that it's national news.

And the trust in Fournette continues to drop.... As if there was much hope to begin with.

Pretty minor arrest in the big picture of things, the ticket happened back in November, one day before the Steelers' game. 

Hard to trust somebody who can't even take care of the little things in life. Millionaire can't even pay a $200 speeding ticket lol.

oh i thought you had actual info that disputed the police report of 37 in a 25 zone

No, but out of curiosity what would qualify? Someone riding with the cop taking a video of the radar readout at the time?

Really though this on its own doesn't mean much, it's this after a lot of other dumb and immature behavior and what the Jaguars once again passed on to take him that makes it such a Pepto moment.

It’s even cuter that some here are constantly looking to make mountains from molehills.  

This on its own means nothing.  This has nothing to do whatsoever with the other unless you happen to be one of those mountain builders.

I’m sure you never speed, right?  Especially at such excessively high rates of speed like 37 mph.  Where should we send your halo?

would certainly be more credible than whatever it was you offered up

This isn't really news.  The guy neglected to pay a ticket and has his license suspended.  It happens.  For those that think that "he has people for this" you all need to get a reality check.  Just because a person has wealth it does not mean that they hire "servants" or "assistants" to take care of things.  It's just something that was overlooked and will be rectified.

The fact that he is in town means that he's ready to go to work.

As far as the warrant for driving on a suspended license, I don't know Florida law well enough but I do believe that the officer has the option of either making an arrest or issuing a Notice to Appear for court and it's up to the officer's discretion.  I really can't speculate regarding why the officer chose to arrest rather than issuing a citation, but I would almost bet that it's because he has an out-of-state licence (Louisiana).

Idiot.....

Keeps getting better..

I remember every time I have been pulled over in my life. If you can't remember getting pulled over, and getting a ticket, you either get pulled over a LOT or you have CTE.  Getting a ticket isn't as forgettable as forgetting to pick up bread at the store. It doesn't happen like that to normal people that are not lacking memory issues.

This appears on the main page thus:

Fournette arrested for dr...

Talk about clickbait. I'm relieved for the team, but feel a little disappointed by the insignificance of the crime.

Seeing how some "authority figures" believe it is normal to forget ... Just maybe TMD forgot he had all those warnings.

I don't think that's the case here. It's not a mountain being made out of a molehill. It's been a constant issue with this guy since he's been here. Late to team meetings. Late to a team photo. Throwing punches on the field. Suspensions. Can't stay healthy. His work ethic to recover from said injuries was called out publicly by the media as well. 

And, again, Coughlin and Co. didn't sit down with this man child a few months ago for their own personal health. This has been building and building and building. Period. Was the speeding minor? Sure. Was the ticket and arrest minor? Sure. But that doesn't erase the fact that he's made countless, dumb [BLEEP] decisions that would make Red Forman blush with envy at the prospect of putting his foot up his [BLEEP]. 

We're all human. We all make mistakes. And I get it. [BLEEP] happens. But you cannot casually gloss over the fact that he has some serious issues with taking responsibility and ownership for his stupidity. He's not in high school anymore. He's not in college. He's supposed to be a buttoned up professional now playing in the NFL. And he's done very little to clean up that image that he's brought upon himself. 

Do I want him cut or traded? No. You never want to see a top investment so easily cast aside. Seeing him fail is just another failure that impacts the team at the end of the day. I hope the kid comes into training camp as big as Greg Jones, as fast and nimble as Fred Taylor and hits pay dirt as much as Maurice Jones-Drew did during his career here.

But, at the same time, upper management should be protecting this team by looking into other options to keep the RB position on par with the rest of the NFL at an above average level. 

We'll see. But this idea or notion that it's just folks "making mountains out of molehills" is nonsense. This isn't a one off occurrence. This isn't the first time he's had a problem. Clearly, he has a lot to work on as a young man. Especially when it comes to his character. Making a mountain out of a molehill would be like beating your teenage son into the ground for coming home late on a school night even though he's been a straight A student and member of the Honor Roll virtually his entire life.

This is more like your problem child doing stupid [BLEEP] once again for like the 7th or 8th time in 2 years and you just had a nice little sit down with him about his stupidity back in January. And then he goes out like he did today and [BLEEP] the bed completely and embarrasses you. That's the kid you beat into the ground at this point.

It was a parking ticket that went unpaid

Wait, the same JSO Lt pulled him over twice now? Sounds like LF27 got himself a stalker.

That makes sense.

He played the "I'm an athlete" card, and he got an attitude when it didn't work. He probably talked himself into handcuffs, too.

Ultimately, this offense isn't a big deal. It does, however, show me that he's still immature.

He was speeding in a parking ticket? What am I missing?

Indefensible
