Quote:Anyone with half a brain would know what I was talking about. 

 

If you want a guy to run between the tackles and run people over, you take Fournette.    If you want to throw the ball to your running back, you take McCaffrey.   Which one you want depends on what you want to do with your running back.   I think New England would prefer McCaffrey over Fournette, because of their offensive system.  

 

I don't know who the Jaguars would prefer, because I don't know what kind of system they will be running.   I get the feeling they want a between the tackles power back to run over people, so I get the feeling they will prefer Fournette.  

 

They are two completely different backs who do completely different things, and which one a team prefers would depend on what kind of offensive system they are going to run.   Fournette is the kind of back who will get 20 to 25 carries per game.   A sledgehammer.     McCaffrey would best be used getting 12 carries, 10 catches, and various punt and kickoff returns.  

 

That's why I am saying, when people compare McCaffrey and Fournette, arguing over which one is "better" it's apples and oranges.
