When are you going to realize his "normal weekly output" is 4.2 YPC and 86 YPG? No matter how many times you throw a hissy fit about it, that's not changing until next sunday.


Let me see if I can rephrase it all for you.

Do you believe that Leonard Fournette is going to finish the season with two runs of 90 yards, and two runs of 75 yards?

Of course not, because contrary to what this thread suggests, you’re a rational person with some level of education.

So, safely assuming he does not duplicate those outlier runs, but continues to touch the ball at his current rate, he will finish with about 348 carries, 1,315 yards, and 3.78 YPC.

Can we agree that 3.78 YPC is below average?

ETA: These numbers are based on 8 more games for LF, which would require a Jaguars playoff birth.

You sure did spend a lot of time and effort failing to prove Leonard Fournette is an average running back.

Arguing with LSU fans about their former players NFL careers is pointless. They are not rationale. Fournette in their mind is a future HOF, in reality 99% of his carries have gone for 3.2 ypc.

They actually believe Jarvis Landry is one of the best WRs because he catches a lot of 3 yard catches. It's flat out ridiculous how uninformed they are.

That guy keeps trying to compare Gurley and Bell to Fournette when they are both elite at catching the ball out of the back field so they are always productive. They also have other seasons where they have proven to be elite.

Gurley has 425 yards receiving and is averaging 11.2 ypc. Just for reference Jarvis Landry has 567 receiving yards and is only averaging 8.5 ypc. Bell is so good catching they line him up out wide at WR. They are totally different caliber of backs.

Leonard is on pace to break down and not get a significant 2nd contact if something doesn't change.
