Fournette = Trent Richardson?

#41

How easy it is to forget how many times this team would run 3 to 4 times straight at the goal line and get stuffed. Fournette has found the end zone in 4 straight games and someone is complaining? SMH

However both of them get a good amount of touchdowns. 12 on 318 touches for Richardson, 4 on 93 touches so far for Fournette.

I'm going to need to see Fournette get an actual breakaway run before he stops being Richardson.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Another awesome entry in the "I want to be debbie downer so I can say toldya so" sweepstakes.

Well played.

This is the problem when you just look at stats and don't watch the games properly

Fournette actually has vision, a better receiver, and faster

Exactly, a stat watcher instead of watching the games

Same people that thought Gurley wasn't good because of last season

The worst part is the guy in this thread that made the Brandon Jacobs comparison was serious
LEONARD FOURNETTE FAN CLUB PRESIDENT. I WAS BEHIND HIM WHEN YOU ALL SAID HE WAS BRANDON JACOBS. QUIT HATING ON THE JAGUARS. GUS IS GONE. COUGHLIN HAS RESTORED ORDER. FOURNETTE IS FRED TAYLOR. DONT BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH.

The more "fail" threads we have, the better the said player actually performs (except for Bortles)

Note the pun with “Four”. (Pats self on back.)

Long live the Sherpa.
Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.

Fournette is on a different level than Richardson. Better vision, actual second-gear speed, doesn't dance in the backfield, stronger runner.

I always thought Fournette was more like Earl Campbell.

I think that he meant to say that (904)Net is a stronger and faster version of Trent Richardson with a much greater work ethic and passion for his craft. But yes they are alike in the fact they they are both males who play the running back position in the game of football. Or maybe he was just trying to be sarcastic. Who knows?

Not a bad comparison. At risk of getting blasted, Fournette's running has occasionally reminded me of early-game Eddie George in his prime. George's career average was something like 3.7ypc, but that's because he was getting 3.7 yards on every carry. Powerful downhill runner who could get another yard or more after contact, and drag a couple of defenders along for the ride.

What Fournette has that George never had is speed. In the fourth quarter, George would maybe be up to four yards before someone caught him, but as we saw today, Fournette is capable of breaking loose when the defense finally caves to him.
