Big picture, this isn't a bad move.  He was a decent rotational player, but we don't really need him for this year's team, and he wasn't going to get extended next year.  I think he had a lot of upside coming out, but he never really got better.  Maybe his work ethic isn't where it needs to be, but no real improvement in 3 years is a red flag.  He struck me as immature.  Maybe this is an addition by subtraction thing.

He's got the talent, and measurables.  If he's there, and we pick someone else.  Not gonna be too thrilled about that.  

I agree with you about the measurables and talent.  His consecutive years of underperforming makes me question his heart, desire, and work ethic.  Tough decision.

Love Fournette's measurables, but he really underperformed at LSU with all that natural talent.  He makes me nervous.

I don't follow LSU but from everything I read he dominated his freshman year, battled injuries the next two years but also put up stats even when opposing defenses devised their entire game plan around stopping him. There's a reason scouts are calling him a once in a generation type player. The only concern I have is injuries.

He is a run through people kind of runner in college...hard to do that in the nflNFL

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
