Why that way, you ask? Because you're suggesting rewarding Fournette for failing to ever make anyone miss while those running backs that make his miss don't get credit for that.

Statistical analysis models can be complex if you want to arrive at any kind of useful result. Really, though, for a guy like Fournette, just the standard deviation of his average run is probably enough to tell us a lot about how inconsistent he is.

Do you even watch the games?  There have been numerous carries where Houdini couldn't make people miss.  I'm totally baffled at how people think he can magically make somebody miss when the opposing DL is pretty much in his face when he touches the ball.  And I would go as far as saying they far outnumber the long runs.  Guess people are going to see what they want to see whey they don't like a player.

Overdrafted, yes.  Bust, no.  Could have a better RB.  Yes.  But some people just love to blow things out of proportion with this guy.
