Singletary averaged a yard a carry more than Fournette last year. Fournette may be talented, but he is not as good of a football player, and thats what actually matters here.

The guy has never played a full season in his career, requires a ton of carries to get the production you're talking about. The only reason he had the season he had last year was because the Jaguars called his number close to 400 times. On top of being an average running back, he is a total malcontent. Sometimes, stats only tell you so much. I dont think his 4 yards a carry is worth having him in the locker room. If he was a guy that brought some veteran leadership to the room great, but at this point he is essentially a jerk who isnt any better than what you already have.

No thank you. Unless Zack Moss is serious hurt, there is no reason to sign Fournette. It is the exact opposite of what I'd expect Beane to do. The guy is completely overrated and living off his college career.

I knew they werent trading him the second I heard this report yesterday "The Saints feel like Latavius Murry and Ty Montgomerey are having fantastic offseasons and can carry the load"

Please tell me of this magical cap you speak of? For I have never heard of it, and am just a meager peasant with no real knowledge of Foosball.... Sorry but successful teams don't put a bunch of street free agents and undrafted college kids on their roster and hope to win. Thats the Ralph Wilson and Doug Whaley method and it doesnt work. You only cut veterans when you've found a younger cheaper player who can play as well or better than them. This is why guys like DiMarco, and Roberts stick, they dont have better players already on the roster. So rather than cutting the veteran taking the cap hit, and then having to sign another street free agent for an additional cap hit, they keep the guy who can already do the job. When/if Allen signs his second contract the Bills will rely on draft picks they have made in previous years still on rookie contracts, thats why drafting is so important. I see what you're saying but if you want to put this argument up over Reggie Frickin Gilliam you may want to choose a new hill to die on. You'll notice I wasnt talking about signing Clowney....I was talking about a fullback.

Yes, sir they kickoff 9/10 (8 days now). I think the excitement will come back. I've watched a bit of baseball and while it's weird with no fans, I still have the same reaction to a home run or strike out I've always had. Best case scenario is they have some fans back by October.

I was, there was really no offseason to speak of, but now that football is nine days away I am ready to go. It will be weird not seeing fans in the stadium but having pizza and football on a Sunday again will be one of the more normal things to happen all year.

You'd think after 2016 Dems would stop looking at polls. On 9/1/2016 polls had Clinton at 302 electoral votes, she ended with 227. She was also twice the candidate Biden is.

I stopped reading where he said Trent Murphy gets cut.

Its over Johnny.

And it comes full circle.

No thanks, over 30 and has only played one full season in nine years. I don't think he is a step up from Levi Wallace, so if the Norman experiment doesnt work out just go with Wallace and call it a day.

One of the cooler angles I've ever seen on a twitter cell phone video. Very nice.

As good as McFadden was he should have been the next Adrian Peterson. He either had a ten cent brain or really didnt care about football that much. Still had a long career but he should have been a world beater with all the talent he had. I get the same sense with Fournette, he stopped being Leonard Fournette the day he became a millionaire.

I mean..those are some small ankles.

How many 6'6 guys weigh 190 pounds?

Practice squad at best. Not sure why he was a favorite to take over for DiMarco this year. Kyle Juszczyk is a free agent next year, go get him or Alex Armah from the Panthers. Armah is essentially the same player as DiMarco but five years younger.

Incredibly overrated player with a terrible attitude, should have been cut before this. Any running back in the NFL should be able to get four yards a carry, and the receptions last year were 100% a result of having a young quarterback. Fournette is Darren McFadden with a worse attitude.

One of the first college coaches that stuck in my memory. The story of him just missing the flight that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11 is wild. RIP Big Guy

I mean for all intent and purpose it has. Jerry's career has pretty much been ruined since Sheriff Opie hit the scene.

No playoffs 17 years. Playoffs 2 out of 3 years. He can do whatever he feels is necessary to win. Ill glady give up someone telling me how great Martin Nance looks to have the team win and be in the playoffs every year. Its not his job to entertain bored fans in August. Its his job to win real football games.

It will be 331 if he carries the democratic led states he did in 2016.

If you're going to be a jersey snob, consider the fact that to wear a jersey you're already wearing another man's name on your back.

This type of mentality always existed, the difference is how fast the information gets out.

Hopefully they are paying the guy during suspension, but actions have consequences. Its just like any job you want to stay employed you have to follow the rules. For those saying any of this is unprofessional, or shows discord in the building needs to understand this is exactly like all major corporations are run. The reverse of this is the situation the Redskins find themselves in, or Russ Brandon running around Buffalo unchecked for years.
