Leonard Fournette: Better than AP

I don't think he'll be there at 8, but it's kind of a no brainer we'll take him if he falls. We also need a bigger and stronger O-line to improve the running game. We get our wins against lesser teams by pushing their D-line around and running at will. The stronger the O-line, the more teams we can push around.

I think I liked him more before I saw the video. Do we think DG will bring in a FB? Do we think Shula will use a FB? If we are going to stick with the read-option, then maybe he isn't our guy.

I think the comparisons to AP are accurate. That said, go look at some recent game tape of AP in Minnesota's read-option offense. He looks like garbage because it is a horrible offensive scheme that puts the rb at a significant disadvantage. The rb has to stand there flat footed and wait for the ball while the LBs pursue. Put him behind a FB and he destroys.

I think that is exactly what we can expect out of Fournette.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
