Can anyone tell me what was so impressive about Fournette this year?
I get their passing game is awful but taking a closer look at his rushing numbers and they're not all that impressive. Not all that far off from rookie Trent Richardson who got force fed carries every game.
In his 14 games, including the playoff game:
4 games with over 4.0 ypc
-28 carries for 181 yards (6.5 ypc) vs. Pittsburgh. Take away his 90 yd TD and he has 27 carries for 90 yards (3.3 ypc)
-21 carries for 130 yards (6.2 ypc) vs. LA Rams. Take away his 75 yd TD and he has 20 carries for 55 yards (2.8 ypc)
I don't want to take too much away from those runs, because they're literally game breaking / game changing runs but he did very little in those games outside of those 2 plays
6 games under 3.0 ypc
Now we're taking away long runs..... bro WHAT.
He's explosive. You can't do that bullshit.
I can take away every RB's runs of 20+ and now they have a SHIT YPC as well. The fuck are we doing here.
