How? 
 

Let's see in a few games I'm going on record that he will be a big part of us moving the ball. He can catch run and block.

I’m betting that in 4 weeks we’re all going to be asking why we signed him.

Im sure Beane has got a brain 

Not a big one

Undisputedly the second best Leonard F. on our team.

 

But really, are there other better age 28 Super Bowl Champion RBs with a career 4.0 YPC available that people wanted over him?

 

If nothing else, I am interested to see how we can integrate a RB who had 73 catches last season into our offense.

he'll be gone as soon as Harris is back.  

wrong. 

He’s reportedly in very good shape. 
 

just have him and Shaq mix it up before games so he plays angry

I hope he has some nastiness left in the tank. We got no one with serious nastiness on offense since crazy man... Richie Incongito. 

 

I don't care if he weighs 300lbs and has just 10 plays on the field all game.  Just be nasty.  

He can prance around the field in a tutu, so long as he nets 5 ypc.

If this is such a great signing, why did he sit on the couch for so long?

I’m guessing he wanted way more $ in the summer and no one was willing to do it.

 

hopefully he used the time to “become the best version of himself”  reportedly is in great shape.  
 

the Bills are literally always in need of players who bring a physical edge on the field. There is hardly anyone on the roster who does

I really thought the Fournette thing was click bait i would think a CB or LB would have been priority seeing as the running game has been a bit better than last season & that they really haven't used them a lot out side of Cook .

 

I hope Beane knows best .

[BigDingus]

Hopefully he's used to running out of shotgun for every short yardage scenario.

Fournette is a far superior pass blocker and Brady relied on him a lot as a safety valve

another "soft hands" guy

He was decent last year but I am guessing he’s DUN.

How are so many people upset with this. He will be a huge asset to us!! 

I don't see anything about this that you would see as a"huge" asset? Maybe he will improve the RB pass protection, that's about it. not sure it's enough to be a "huge" asset.

Maybe they think he will be better on shotgun draw lol

[Low Positive]

He stayed in shape and the Bills have a need with Harris out and a spot on the PS. Why not?

Not many good CB or LB sitting on the couch right now. They’ll have to trade for one of those. Deadline is tomorrow so stay tuned ….

Might mean more

This is a zero risk move to fill a void at RB. I love it. Guy has a nasty streak, has a lot of playoff experience, can block and catch. What’s not to like? That he’s going to take some reps from Murray at some point? Signing a guy to the practice squad does not prevent us from making a move at DT/LB/CB/WR if there is a move to be made.

Doubt it, think he will get about the same amount that Harris was getting

Fournette is a lot more versatile than Harris.  Been averaging over 60+ receptions that few years, versus Harris’ max of 18 in a season.  Would not be surprised to see him in on 3rd downs a lot.
