Fournette gets you what’s blocked and that’s it. 9 times out of 10 when in the open field the 1st guy takes him down. If we getting gettinghad a 1990’s Dallas cowboys online he’d be a ideal guy. But we don’t and in no way am I throwing money at his mediocrity, I won’t give him the option either because he will pull a bottles and get offseason surgery to make sure he gets paid.

Why do people keep saying he'd be great with a great line? He'd still be getting run down from behind and only getting what's blocked. It would still be better to have a guy that makes people miss in the open field.

Because he'd probably average about 1.5-2.5 more yards per carry with a better line, and that would be a very good number.

 He's fighting through early contact way too frequently behind this line. 

At times I'm baffled by his lack of vision and we know he's not elusive aside from a rare cut or two per game, but he's clearly a productive back and a better line would only further his production. There's no leap in logic required to see that. I just want to see him in a committee instead of a bellcow, personally.  Hell, the way his blocking and receiving went in 2019 - you could make him your 3rd down back and work a committee on early downs.

You still want to tell everyone he's Trent Richardson 2.0?   He's proven that comp to be way off base.
