If they keep him, they have to get a fullback. If they do that, they better use a TE over the middle, passing to the flats, and heavy DEEP THREATS.

I'd rather move on and find a quick RB who has lateral quickness and vision.

Agree completely, Fournette is not worth more than 3-4 million a year at best. He just isn't that good at being a RB. Hence why his per carry and per catch are near the bottom when compared to his peers and why our offense sputters when it relies on him. I will give him credit for being good as a pass protector and an improved human being, and I wouldn't mind keeping him, but not anywhere near 7 million a year. I think there will be 2nd to 5th round guys who are better available every year.

That said, there are 27 RBs with 150 touches. Fournette is 18th in yards per carry and 20th in yards per reception. He is still an inefficient compiler at RB who is a square peg in the round hole that is the modern NFL.

We aren't winning anything of significance again while he is the centerpiece of the offense, thus we should not pay him as such. Let some other stupid team do that.

Remember short yardage uses brings down yards per carry and he's used on short yardage more than any back in that group. Also ypc isn't a good stat to measure RB performance.

He sucks in short yardage tho and that was supposed to be his thing.  Thats actually my biggest problem with Fournette. He can't convert the 3 &2 or 1 consistently at all.
