Something just isn’t right.  I refuse to believe he’s as bad as his numbers indicate, and Marrone gameplanning like it’s 1982 doesn’t help.

I'm not saying Fournette is a bust yet...

but I will say, he wasn't the RB you should be drafting in the top 5.

It isn't HIS fault Caldwell is kinda bad at his job sometimes.

What doesn't help Fournette is that he is running behind a makeshift line with guys that probably wouldn't be rostered in half the league lol
Flowers, Walker, Reed, these household names we got blocking up front are all pretty bad.


The amount of times I see DL guys get pressure up the middle, around the edges, and everything in between in less than 2 seconds on most plays is rough.
When they do give time in the pass game, our QBs can't see the field (Hey Dede is always open)
And the starters were getting some push in the run game, but we should not pretend that they were some all star cast.
Fournette can get you 2 yards when it should be a loss most of the times. But he can't break the big ones if we're not having any success in short and mid range runs.

Much like the QB position.... it isn't all on him, but as a highly drafted pick, we expect more and should expect more.
The OLine matters a great deal though and the majority of our offensive woes fall there truly.
