Chiefs Leonard Fournette on the trading block..should Veach bite? - Page 7

UChieffyBugger · 04-20-2020, 04:43 AM

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.

Franchise running backs don’t grow on trees. Sign em Brett!

Agreed. We need a guy on the sideline telling Williams he's beautiful and so very talented.

We are fine with him at RB. Shut up about bringing in another, and for pete's sake don't even mention that Kareem guy again.

We are set right now. If it ain't broke and got us to our first SB appearance and win in 50 years, then DON'T FIX IT.

Damian Williams is more than enough when he plays at playoff levels:

102 touches for 560 yards and 10 TDs and 1 fumble (0 lost). In 5 games. Get that DW for a season and you have a great player.

He had one bad game against the Titans but otherwise was money.

I’ve always liked DW and though last year was a bit of a lost season. For some reason Andy/Veach don’t seem to agree (witness drafting a RB and picking up McCoy last year) so there’s something to it but I think that barring industry and splitting time DW is going off this coming season.

TomBarndtsTwin · 04-20-2020, 12:47 PM

DW does seem to always shine in the post-season.

I don't know if that is just coincidence? Or cause he's fresher, due to more limited snaps? Or maybe because other teams defenses spend so much time focusing on our other weapons, DW kind of becomes the forgotten man and gets a lot of extra opportunities to shine? I don't know.

We do need to upgrade our running game for the regular season, though. I do like DW, but he's proven he can't carry the full load.

That said, Fournette is most definitely not the answer to this situation. We don't need yet another injury prone back, who also happens to be a malcontent. Hard pass.

Setsuna · 04-20-2020, 12:51 PM

If yall need warm bodies with experience then sign him. He'll keep his mouth shut if you're winning. Although he might cost you some personal fouls once in a while.

ShowtimeSBMVP · 04-20-2020, 12:57 PM

Just say no. I would rather draft a RB in first round that fits the chiefs system.

He was only available for six regular season games last year. He went undrafted out of Oklahoma because he was injured there, as well. There is NO WAY the Chiefs should enter the 2020 season with him as their Feature Back.

"Highlight video". Good grief.

There it is.

Megatron96 · 04-20-2020, 01:01 PM

Not good enough to warrant the trade. Doesn't know the system, and hasn't shown the ability to learn a new system quickly. Next.

Like YPC for instance is usually a good one for Running backs

Fournette: 4.3
D. Williams: 4.4

There goes your idea

You wanna try something with a Jacksonville guy?

They're releasing Marqise Lee, he might be worth a look if he's super cheap.

First of all, learn to speak English.

Second, Arizona cut HB because of injury issues, not because they didn't like him.

You might be the dumbest poster on this forum today and that's saying something.

Congrats!

BWAHAHAHA yeah, they let go of a young stud safety FOR NOTHING because of "injuries" and not because he was unhappy with losing and aired that out?...ok you pathetic loser

My apologies, I've posted this way too many times to count but Williams will be 28 to start the season, has never been healthy for a full 16 game season in more than six years in the NFL and has 1,200 yards and 12 TD's total during that time.

Kareem Hunt had 1,300+ rushing yards and 8 TD's during his rookie season alone.

Talent isn't the issue with Williams, it's that he's constantly injured, going back to his days at OU, making him completely unreliable. Add to that, there's not a single back behind him on this roster that puts any fear in opposing defenses and Defensive Coordinators.

He'd cost 12m over two seasons and if he's a stud we use the tag like the Titans have with Henry. If Henry isn't sitting out then I doubt Fournette would tbh.
