Quote:The thing is, you don't ding a guy for having great hands. That's an asset. Fred Taylor had good hands and at times line up at WR, but nobody would say that make for a QB-centric offense.

 

Now I think you are intentionally missing my point. 

 

I'm not dinging anyone for having great hands.   One of them is a smaller guy with great hands, and the other is a big back who can run people over.  They are different. 

 

If you want a back that you can hand off to 25 times a game, you don't pick a 205 pound guy.   He would have a very short career.   McCaffrey needs to spend half his plays running routes.   But I don't think that's what the Jags are looking for.   I think the Jags are looking for a big back.   That's Fournette.   Conversely, there are teams that are not looking for a big back, they are looking for a back who can spend half his plays going out for passes.   That's McCaffrey.  

 

It's apples and oranges.   You guys are so locked into this debate over "who is better" that you are ignoring the fact that these are two very different players, who would be used differently.  And different teams would have a different preference.
