What Nolan Nawrocki says about Leonard Fournette

Recommended Posts

I got this from his superb 2017 Draft preview, truly the best draft guide out there.

 

Tough, decisive, downhill runner with hip strength, body power and physicality to consistently churn through contact and create chunk yardage, yet also posses the long speed to create explosive big plays. A complete every down back in a rare category of talent physically gifted to have made the jump from high school to the pro’s had he been allowed.

Fournette is a generational talent in the same category as all time greats such as Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker exiting college. A bell cow capable of carrying an offense and wearing down defenses. Was at his best when healthy in 2015 and would be most optimal playing in the 220 lbs.

We should just enshrine Fournette into the HoF before he even takes a snap at this point.

Whatever happened to realistic comparisons and aspirations these days. 

You compared Derek Barnett to Ryan Delaire...

I feel that is a major reason Fournette is getting some hate. People don't like it when we "crown them" before they even enter the league.

  They went out the window when McCaffrey became a top 10 "lock".

Yup but he's also a premiere talent evaluator.

Clearly. 

Which team does he work for again? Oh, none of them? Yep... premiere talent evaluator. LOL!

These draftniks who have never actually evaluated talent for an NFL team are for entertainment purposes only.

Honestly have no recollection of that. Don't remember why I would've made that comparison if so. Link me to where I did, and I'll figure out what I was drinking that day.

Think you are the guy who compared Cam Robinson to Mike Remmers too. Probably drank what you are drinking today

Eh I was mostly sober til the end on that one when I watched the championship game. Robinson didn't wow me and looked like he got beat a lot by speed, so that felt like a fair comparison to another guy who sucks against speed.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
