That cutback though...

Stewart will be the starter game one, unless he is injured.   There is more to being a running back than just running.  He has to learn to pass block, know the plays, follow the lead blockers, and whatever else a running back does.  Now whether he is the starter in game 8 or 10 is anyone's guess.  But unless Fournette proves to be the greatest ever, he will be worked into the rotation.  

This and anyone who thinks Fournette will replace Stewart is unrealistic.. The only way Fournette starts a game this year is if Stewart is hurt. Fournette is not close to being equal to Stewart and likely won't until his second year. Stewart know how to make his own yards with questionable blocking. Fournette is not at shifty or as agile as Stewart. Unless he goes North-South he isn't effective. How many times this past year did Stewart have to elude 2 tacklers before he got to the line. When healthy Stewart is a good back. Stewart had injuries in college and continued in the NFL. I am afraid Fournette will too. He reminds me of Earl Campbell. Hard running back who initiates contact. Ultimately injury always gets the backs that aren't elusive and dont avoid the big hits. They can't stay healthy.

McCaffrey hasn't attempted many passes in college, if any at all so we don't know that he can't be an NFL caliber QB. Speculation is that he'd go first overall as a QB alone.

Sure we know he can't be a great quarterback and only a rube would speculate that. Much different from the conversation about McCaffreys combine and proday measurables. He is quick, fast, run great routes, accelerates and is very elusive after the catch. Great hands and looks the most natural catching a pass. On and on.
