The guy had to catch 76 balls (targeted 100 times) to barely reach 500 receiving yards. There's nothing about his game that's above average and there's plenty of it that is below. To even put his name in the same sentence as Freddy T and MJD is laughable. Fournette couldn't hold their jockstrap.

If he was a 3rd, or later round pick, nobody would really bat an eye at this cut. It's just that people know his name because he was over hyped and highly drafted. Yet they have never really watched him play the past 3 seasons in the NFL, besides a few highlights. After 3 years of watching him play I (and many others) know exactly what he is as a RB and it's nothing special in the NFL. He simply lacks vision and can't create anything on his own (among some other things). Two things that are incredibly important at the NFL level.

There's no hate, I wish him well. It's just that most can see past the numbers because they never tell the full story. It was just time to move on (he was 100% gone at years end anyways). Hes got a stacked cast around him now with the Bucs, so no excuses now.

Speaking of Fournette being overhyped, you should hear the local Tampa media. It’s like the Bucs have signed Barry Sanders or Jim Brown. Like it hasn't dawned on them that not only did no team offer a draft pick for him, no team claimed him off of waivers. 

The hilarious thing is they restructured Mike Evan's contract just to sign Fournette. Yes, up against the cap, they pushed money out to future caps for Leonard Fournette.
