People stacked the boss stop Fournette.. also look at your stats.. Fournette equaled or surpassed Richardson playing in HALF the games. They are not the same player by any means.. also in year 2 Richardson had Andrew freakjbgvLuck as his QB and put up those numbers.. while Fournette still had Blake “how the heck I get an extension” Bortles! 1
ChanticleerBillsFan Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 I wouldn’t be opposed to acquiring him with late round pick but not sure he is a “process” guy
Not at the table Karlos Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 23 hours ago, DCOrange said: If Jacksonville releases Fournette, I might show interest. I don't really want to be paying a two-down RB who isn't all that good on those two downs the amount of money Jacksonville is currently paying him though. We can send shaq to pick him up from the airport 1
Chicken Boo Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) 19 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: It's not like defenses had to be concerned with any of their QBs. The team, as a whole, regressed this season. I don't think Fournette's performance in 2018 is an indictment of his ability. With a glaring need at the position and a good amount of cap room, if he's released, you better believe McBeane will be all over it. Edited January 2, 2019 by Chicken Boo
Mat68 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Fournette may never be healthy. However, he also was over used in Jacksonville. Bortles could only throw 3 routes, and teams stacked the box begging them to throw. I would offer a mid rd pick for him in a heartbeat. Power running game with Allen will be deadly. This offseason Buffalo needs to sign a veteran and draft 1.

This offseason Buffalo needs to sign a veteran and draft 1. He had a full workload as a rookie, but wasn't that over-used. No reason to spend high dollars and/or trade value on a guy with a crap attitude. They should draft a RB in the mid-rounds.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 He couldn't stay healthy at LSU. Smells of PEDs but maybe its just bad luck. No need to draft a RB that high. They are the product of the o-line and to some degree the QB situation. My hunch is they can't void his contract guarantees so easily. His suspension really wasn't for off the field behavior like AP.
whatdrought Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Not to needlessly bump an old thread, but the Jags just signed Thomas Rawls. It flew under the radar and it’s likely nothing, but he has a similar style to fournette. Interesting in the larger scheme. https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/nfl/seattle-seahawks/Article/Thomas-Rawls-signs-Jaguars-127583802/Amp/ 1
Magox Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 I'd give up a 2nd for him. I'm much higher on him than most the opinions I've seen here. The guy can catch the ball contrary to popular belief and he's an agile straight up truck, which is just the kind of running we need with this team.

Bills need to draft a RB, not continue with declining production vets. Sheesh... Um ... isn't he 23? He's clearly talented. I'm not saying that I want this to happen, mind you, but he's hardly a "declining vet." 1

Defenses are smaller and faster, not the worst time to be able to run heavy between the tackles. 3

He's being dangled by a team that is desperate for offensive playmakers.

He's the only guy on that team with any life in them. i bet he'd come here with a giant chip on his should to the rest of the league, and if he could buy into the process, be a dominant back for a long time. He's in a terrible situation in Jax and clearly wants out, i think that was reflected in his attitude the second half of this year

Don't fret though, he'll end up in NE, thrash the Bills two times a year and allow Brady to play two more years

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 His piss poor season voided my ability to win Fantasy football after picking him early... so I’m fine with it. 1

Let's not downplay what Nick Mullens did through the air for the Niners
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 He was a terrible pick and doesn’t fit the new nfl at all. They used a top 5 pick on LeGarrett Blount.

The guy was a beast his rookie year. We also could NOT tackle him a few months ago. Jags fell off as a whole this year and bortles is garbage. That is the real problem there 2
