Unfortunately this is true. The Field Gull guys did a break down leading up to our Seahawks game showing how our yards per carry went up marginally when Fournette was off the field, but more importantly how all of Blake's numbers were far better when Fournette was off the field.

One of the worries people had when we were debating whether LF would be a good pick was how he and Blake's were so different stylistically, and thus far that has proven to be the case. If the FO does keep Blake around longer figuring out how to help those two mesh needs to be priority number one.

Cmon now..

Teams played without Fournette:
Awful colts team
Awful Texans team
Bengals team with a decent defense but was in awful form at the time.  

If we're being real our numbers were better because we played awful teams and Bortles was in better control of the offense. 

Plenty of ways to critique Fournette. This one doesn't hold much weight.
