Let's also realize the Jets are top 10 in rush defense this year. I've been very critical of Fournette but the dude is playing lights out right now. He's 2nd in the league in rushing yards man.

I'll never understand the "take away that one big play and he was average" argument. 


Every 


Play 


COUNTS

Man, I don't know what to say... We just agree alot lol.

I freaking HATE that argument so much. It's soooo bad. Those huge plays are called "game breakers" and that's exactly what LF is. A game breaker. 

Like, am I imaging things or did that huge run lead directly to an easy TD pass for GMII? It's just amazing people want to pick and choose which plays they want to count for a player.

How about his absolutely clutch catch in the 4th Q to keep the drive going on 3rd and 8? I guess we have to take that one out as well then?

I mean hell, if you take out Minshews 13 TD passes, which is only a handful of his total passes he's pretty terrible. Welp, based on that I guess Minshew gets the axe next year. Dang, we were so close to having a franchise QB too.

He had something like 80 yards on 20 carries with about 65 of them coming on one run where he got caught from behind, I thought his big thing was having elite speed. For a guy with elite speed he sure gets caught from behind a lot.

Most of his runs got stuffed. Maybe it's bad offensive line play but I think his biggest problem is he's a plodder and doesn't make decisive cuts. If the hole isn't there he's running into someone's back until he's tackled.

His main contribution was pass catching, and it's good that he did, but in the open field he gets caught and tackled, not what you want from a RB taken in the top five.

Dog..... How many 60 yard runs has LF had this season?

You know after one of his big 60+ yard runs I actualy got a notification from one of my NFL news/facts apps and I think it said Fournette now leads the league since he came in for RBs for plays over 60 yards..? If it wasn't lead, it was like right near the top. 

I don't get it. No matter what the guy does people will in here will create reasons he's not good.

Here's what is a fact - If you take out ANY RB IN THE NFL's long runs their YPC would suck.
