I would bet dollars to donuts he has the most negative yard carries as well. He is not a special back and unless his vision and decision making improves he will not be one. He is as aothers have said an average back getting a ton of volume.

Also Fournette is not the leader in carries against 8 men in the box. There are multiple backs ahead of him including ancient Adrian Peterson

He's got the 6th most carries overall behind guys like Derick Henry and Nick Chubb and McCaffery etc. Of the 5 guys with more yardage overall, only Henry has more carries against 8+ men fronts. Listen, he doesn't have much wiggle and he isn't the best at staying on his feet after contact but you guys should start acknowledging his production for what it is and stop trying to make up excuses for it.

Going back to my post, I said he was an average back.  02 was using Fournette as some sort of validation of keeping Coughlin (which seems pretty irrelevant now).  No it's not Fournette's fault that he was drafted with the fourth pick, which was never the point that I was trying to make.  But he was not worth the fourth pick and that is squarely on the FO.
