Everyone is oh so mad with hindsight but let's be honest, this man is our best offensive player.

...everyone here wanta to scapegoat fournette so bad bc were mad we dont have a qb.... so silly.

I don't want to make a scapegoat of him.  I just think he was a bad pick at #4 and he needs a quality O-Line to be productive. 
I really wish we'd traded out of the pick and helped other positions.

I also do not think he's the best offensive player, I think that's probably Westbrook right now. 

I just pray to all things holy this franchise is able to fix the right side of their O-Line this offseason and keep the left side healthy in 2019.  Because that #4 pick will just keep looking like a worse and worse decision over time otherwise.

I don't think the pick can do anything but look worse and worse with Mahomes looking like the next Rodgers and Watson looking like a franchise QB.

If no franchise QB had gone later in the draft then fournette could end up looking okay, but apparently the Jaguars failed to recognize an elite QB talent yet again, and that makes the fournette pick horrific. Not only is he a bad player, but they also missed on a seemingly generational talent and a good talent at QB. Now they have to pray the guy they desperately reach for in this year's draft (and mark my words, they'll pick a QB high whether he's with it or not) is actually worth it.

If he is then it'll be the first time the franchise has ever had a real franchise QB.
