Cook over Fournette?

just watched a video saying foreman was the best pass blocking rb in the class.

 

but yeah, cook might be one of the worst, do not want 

Then give me Foreman in the second and another position in the first. Didn't know that about Foreman. I was already a fan before now I'm sold.

Those of you predicting Cook over Fournette probably are not taking into consideration one huge factor when replacing Jonathan Stewart...

By all accounts, Fournette is by far the better pass blocking back.

Discuss.

 

The only real obstacle is the Jaguars, but I think they will take Cook.

This is why I have been advocating for the 2 back system with J-Stew taking on pass protection, zone reads, dump offs,.etc while Fournette takes more of the traditional carries.

This allows you to keep the best football players on the field and allow you to mentor the rookie.

If Stew won't take a pay cut and we are forced to cut him we should pursue Lat Murray. In addition to anyone we can snag in the draft. HB depth has been horrible. Ideally we draft Fournette or another top prospect and keep Stew, but as of right now without a pay cut keeping him is not worth the $6.5M we'd save by cutting him.

And even aside from Cook's PB we shouldn't consider him at all in the first round with his off the field issues and other on field concerns.

This guy has been a huddle favorite before-very objective Bears fan that has been a Cam supporter.  He nails this one again, Fournette is good enough now but can improve as a pass blocker.  He's not Bo Jackson but not the fumbling machine Peterson is.  He's a wet dream for the Panthers at 8 and a nightmare for the other 31 if it happens.

Jaguars have one RB under contract until 2021 and another until 2019, multiple holes, and maybe Allen as a choice.  Small chance they go Fournette.

The Jets are the biggest obstacle.  Hopefully all these QBs and/or DBs will be lights out this offseason and they'll reach for one.

I'm admittedly nervous, but our chances are very good.

They have Matt Forte are they not happy with him?

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
