Leonard Fournette on the trading block..should Veach bite?

[UChieffyBugger]

A few folks have mentioned this on another thread but I thought it deserved a thread of it's own as media sources, both national and Chiefs associated, have linked the Chiefs to Fournette HERE and HERE

Now, Fournette was obviously a first round pick with tons of hype and potential when he came out and there can be no denying he was sensational in his rookie season HERE where his 1000 yards rushing, 300 yards receiving and 10 TD's helped to guide the Jags to the playoffs where he again showed his class by getting four TD's and 242 yards in the games he played.

The next season as we know Blake Bortals got exposed and the Jags were a mess. He missed half the season due to a ****ling leg injury but still managed to get 400 rushing yards, 185 receiving and six total TD's.

Then came last year HERE and my lord he looked devastating. Yet again he got 1000 yards but this time he notched FIVE HUNDRED receiving yards as well. Way more receiving yards than Damian Williams had last year and more than what Kareem Hunt had in his rookie season.

I think we could probably get him for a modest pick tbh because I think the Jags are gonna try to tank for Lawrence...so probably a 4th rounder for next years draft could do it? Who knows...but a 25 year old talent like this doesn't fall into your lap very often. He'd cost us 4m for this season and then we'd have that fifth year option too. IF he's sensational in those two years then we tag him for another. Three years of Fournette without having to pay major bucks sounds tempting to me as I think he would cause absolute mayhem facing those empty boxes.

After hearing these stats and trade cost, i might be willing to offer the jags a 5th round pick to see if they bite.

Now you're talking. This is basically a 1 year deal for a guy that caught 76 passes from Gardner Minshew. 6th best RB last year on a team that always has the box shut against them. How can you not take a flyer?

Over the past 3 years, he has averaged fewer yards per carry and reception than Damien Williams - who was playing behind the craptastic Dolphins line in 2017 - while missing more games due to injury.

That isn't an elite back. Leonard Fournette was an elite prospect 3 years ago. He is not an elite back and isn't going to get a long-term second deal.

He compiled yardage last year but ranked 28th in YPA (behind such luminaries as Carlos Hyde, Jordan Howard, and Latavius Murray, and on par with studs like Jamal Williams and 34-year-old Adrian Peterson). Even in his "breakout" rookie campaign, Fournette was at 3.9 YPA - good again for 28th on the list.

In between those performances, he ranked 46th in YPA.

He.

Isn't.

Elite.

Not sure if anyone has said this, but no.

So over the past 4 years, he has missed 1/2 the season for his team 2x. That's 50 percent of the time. That's a broke dick.

In addition to those injuries, he also has had a lot of nagging injuries. His rookie year, he got dinged and missed action 3 separate times.

In 2018, he injured the hamstring early, came back, and re-injured it to the point of missing the rest of the season.

He's a not-elite performer with injury problems.

Because in addition to being a non-eliete brokedick, he also is a terrible schematic fit for a team that wants to spend its time in shotgun formations.

He's a big power back, and doesn't possess the quick stop-start needed to thrive in the modern NFL.

I wouldn't send more than a 6th for him.

You said he's "slow" and "not explosive"...THAT'S BS BUDDY!!!..also how many times has Williams carried an offense and faced nine man boxes? I'll wait

He has played 3 seasons and missed games in every season.

13 games played his rookie season,

8 games played the next

15 games the next season



He has missed games every single season. Please look at the stats and quit suggesting the team to sign bad fits for this team with expensive options that aren’t worth it .

You are a ****ing moron. He's missed on average 1/4 of the season in his NFL career. That's healthy to you? Holy shit you're stupid

That includes his senior season of college. In which his brokedick tendencies were again on display and he missed 1/2 the season. And in which his team’s running game was better without him.

And he isn’t fast or explosive, by NFL standards. Numbers don’t back it up and neither does the tape.

Fournette peaked physically as a freshman and sophomore in college. He doesn’t have the vision, quickness, or shiftiness to be a stud at this level. His size/speed combo was elite at the college level. It isn’t at the NFL level.

He's not been perfect...but one if those games was a suspension and in his rookie season he played in all three playoff games.
