as for his strengths,  like you said he can get you 2 yards when it should be a loss. But his biggest strength is that he is terrifying at the second and third level, he has rare speed for his size.  People always mention the 90 yard run against the Steelers but that isn’t his best run.  His best run is the 75 yarder against the rams.  He split the defensive backs that were 30 pounds lighter than he is like they were nothing.  That run was a thing of beauty. The issue is he never gets to showcase that speed.  Injuries are a factor but i believe the main issue is coaching.  Marrone is essentially Jeff Fisher.  

Fournette could also just suck but who knows.  I believe he wouldn’t be performing this poorly in LA, NO, Dalls etc.

During last weeks game, the announcer pulled up a stat that showed Fournette has the lowest big play percentage of all rb's drafted in the last few years.  Ugly
