Reks Ryan Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 He doesn’t fit the culture of Bills RB room. The first step in The Process of becoming a Bills RB is to live for at least 30 years. Fournette’s not there yet. Come see us when you have at least 10 years experience and 2,000 carries under your belt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Well it's not like he beat a 5 year old to death like former Bills RB Cierre Wood, but I'll still pass on Fournette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 This class is FULL of solid RBs. Why take a risk on Leonard. No thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 His 3.3 YPC was almost as terrible as McCoy(3.2) last year. In his 2 years he has not even avg 4 YPC yet, and he is a complete ####### as well. No thanks, never has impressed me at all and you know he will wanna get paid more than he is worth.

He’s challenging the team rescinding his bonuses, though he signed the contract with those behavior stipulations in it. That alone says they’re encouraging him to leave and will likely consider any trade offer received. I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up releasing him outright before training camp. What that says to me is they don't think he is a very good rb. If they felt different they wouldn't let go of a top 5 pick after 2 seasons for that offense. They are basically admitting they made a big mistake and trying to recover whatever they can. Edited April 12, 2019 by Turk71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more they think he’s an idiot. In spite of Bortles’ incredible road playoff performances, they were a great team 2 years ago on the strength of premier defense and Fournette’s running. When Tom Coughlin calls you out publicly, your days are numbered -or his are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Smith projected round 2-3 Ty Montgomery projected round 2-4 Dexter Williams projected round 3-5 Fournette is on the last year of his rookie contract. He averages 3.7 ypc in the NFL. He is a fancy Trent Richardson. You do realize he's been playing on a team with Blake bottles at QB, correct? They have basically been stacking 8 in the box every play. If you think he's Trent Richardson then I'm positive you're doing nothing but looking at a stat line that you googled and haven't watched them play.

The difference is he gets you that 3.3 every single time he touches the ball. As somebody said earlier he's a grinder who is rarely stuffed. McCoy might average 3.3 on a game, but it's two carries for 15 a piece then 8 carries for 3 total. Didn't style of rb With a aggressive QB line Allen who goes big a lot, you're better off with a grinder power back why can still get you yards every play, instead of having both a rb and a QB who have boom-bust on every play. It's like baseball lineups You need some hr hitters, but they tend to have a lower batting average (.285, 35+ he) who will go like 1 for 5 with a HR and 2 strike outs. Then you have the guy who's not flashy, gets slap singles, but on base all the time, goes 2 for 6 with a walk, and is there to be driven in by the big hitter. Allen is the inconsistent hr hitter. Four is the in base% guy. If you remove the fact that he's an idiot, and the fact that he made the bills mad during that fight last year from your craws you'd see that. It's an adult, professional sport. Fans hold grudges like middle school girls. attempting to get him on a low round draft pick is smart. I'm not advocating to pay a 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd. If he's available for a 4th or less it's worth the risk. 44 minutes ago, Chandler#81 said: I think it’s more they think he’s an idiot.

I’m not sure how anyone who watched Fournette against the Bills a couple months ago could say he sucks. He made a pretty good Bills defense look like a high school outfit. No way the Bills win that game if Fournette doesn’t get tossed early in the second half, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 LF faced 8 in the box 35% of the time, highest in the league. Gore faced it 12% of the time. I was trying to find LF’s TFL stat but I can’t. I wouldn’t think he has many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the two most crucial downs for a RB to not get stuffed. He's a good rb who consistently grinds short yardage when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Sure. We haven’t had his kind of citizenship around Buffalo since Marshawn was driving his whip around the streets bumping into people. What could possibly go wrong?

ALF Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 His bonus paid , about $3M salary in 19 , $4M in 20 , might be worth the risk for a 4th rd pick at the most. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/leonard-fournette-21745/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
