It would be amazing if he did, but he doesn't have to for the Jaguars to be improved.

Last night, he was 9-31.

Statistically, that's < 4 ypc.

However, he usually got about 4 YPC and tough yards inside.  He converted short yardage plays on the 4th down and on the TD.

That's what this team needed last year.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

I love that quote. He talks about how slow the game is and how easy it was for him to transition, and then he follows up by saying he always stays humble  Laughing

the yardage stat line from last night is misleading, he is the type of back who can play 3 qtrs of a game with less than 4 ypc and then explode in the 4th for long tds. I'm pretty stoked to have him here.
Go Jags!
*To stay up for atleast 2 years 3/6/17
2016 draft players I think will be good
  • On the Fournette train, will be best back of his class 3/6/17
  • Lattimore please,  Lockdowns on both sides would be nice
  • Engram at TE and the MJD clone Samaje Perine

100% agree.  Its a shame how much backlash that statement about the game is getting on social media.  Its because he plays for the jags...etc. No one wants to realize he was talking about his feelings after the pats game and they still mention the jags like he's talking about practice.

2023 and still counting.....SB will finally be ours soon enough.

Lead the league in rushing with a 3.4 ypc avg. Doubt it. Terrible.

Now that Elliott will miss 6 games its certainly entirely possible.

Does he have the talent? Sure. Does he have the OL? Not so sure.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

Does he take that first carry the distance if he's in the game instead of Ivory? Suddenly his stats look great. Having the end zone cap his yardage isn't helping the average either. If he's worthy of where he was drafted then he should have a big year.

I don't know about the rushing title, but I get the feeling that he'll be battling McCaffery for OROY.

I love his demeanor and I'm estatic to see him running the ball. He's not phased by the competition at all. I Like That.
