What Nolan Nawrocki says about Leonard Fournette

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.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
