Quote:McCaffrey is my pick for rookie of the year, but I don't compare him to Fournette, because they are so totally different.   The success of either one of them will depend on the system he goes to.   Even though I love McCaffrey, and I got on the McCaffrey bandwagon before anyone else, I'm not sure I want McCaffrey to come to the Jags.  I don't think we run the right system for him.  

Fournette is a solid option, but he doesn't really get me excited about the running game.  When I watch what McCaffrey can do, and how versatile he is, that's a back who does capture my attention.  He has great feet, terrific balance, nice field vision identifying and hitting the gaps, speed to break the big plays, and he's a strong receiver out of the backfield.  Add to that the fact that he can be your punt return guy on top of everything else, and it's hard not to like him.

 

As rock solid as Fournette is, this team needs someone with that ability to break the big play on any touch.  I just don't see that with him.  I do see it with McCaffrey, or even with Cook.  Both guys have that home run potential.
