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.  

I know what you were trying to say, it just wasn't correct so that's why I got a bit snarky sorry. Fournette isn't good between the tackles. He was league average at it, and that's with the running backs who are selling cars and insurance included not just draft worthy RB. McCaffrey was much better. No matter what you want to do as an offense, I think it can convincingly be argued McCaffrey will be better at it. 

 

For even more background, Fournette ripped off 4.46 YC/attempt on inside carries and 5.46 YC/attempt on outside carries. Both of those figures are near Yards Created’s collegiate averages. At 4.93 Yards Created per attempt on inside runs, McCaffrey is certainly one of the better interior rushers in the college ranks.
