Although I agree his main problem is between his ears, I’m not that impressed with his talent. He’s not without talent obviously, but I don’t think he’s near the level of a Barkley Elliot or Gurley.  Above average size/speed but below average Vision. I think he’s an average back.  Combine that with his apparent attitude problems and he’s not worth that much.  He can go for all I care.

Look......it is not ideal for any running back to play against a stacked box with little to no receiving threats, from the WR's or TE.

27 has been disappointing this year, but it is ridiculous to act like he isn't talented.  

Hell, Gurley was thought of as a bust after his 2nd year with 3.2 a carry due to coaching and scheme.   

I bet they are happy they didn't dump him after getting rid of Fisher and that scheme.

The only thing Fournette has going for him is that he's big and fast. 

Gurley's rookie year included 1,100 yards, 10 TDs, and a 4.8 YPC... in starting only 12 games! Gurley's sophomore year was the exception, and Fournette's was the standard. I'm usually one to give the wait-and-see approach, but I'm comfortable including Fournette in the bust category.

We get it you hate Fournette. Wahhhhhh.

Those plays or "highlights" were multiple examples og him doing things and showing traits that people said he couldnt do or didnt possess. The man is talented, whether or not you like him lol.

No one said he hasn't demonstrated those qualities, but any starting RB in the league will demonstrate them given enough carries. 

There's a reason Fournette is at the bottom of the league when it comes to breakout runs.
