Leonard Fournette: Better than AP

I don't think he'll be there at 8, but it's kind of a no brainer we'll take him if he falls. We also need a bigger and stronger O-line to improve the running game. We get our wins against lesser teams by pushing their D-line around and running at will. The stronger the O-line, the more teams we can push around.

I think I liked him more before I saw the video. Do we think DG will bring in a FB? Do we think Shula will use a FB? If we are going to stick with the read-option, then maybe he isn't our guy.

I think the comparisons to AP are accurate. That said, go look at some recent game tape of AP in Minnesota's read-option offense. He looks like garbage because it is a horrible offensive scheme that puts the rb at a significant disadvantage. The rb has to stand there flat footed and wait for the ball while the LBs pursue. Put him behind a FB and he destroys.

I think that is exactly what we can expect out of Fournette.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      If Tepper hadn't ran this bitch into the ground there would still be Panthera fans in the stadium. As is, I can't at all blame PSL holders for selling the few tickets they can actually get premium pricing for.

      Not to mention he is showing signs that he COULD be the franchise's next Greg Olson. We should all hope he is fine.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      Isn't that what skeptics are referring to? We would be ecstatic about that from our first overall pick? That's how low we've dropped the bar already. This is not a mid round QB. That's why these discussions get so tense. People struggle to separate Bryce Young the person from what Bryce Young the first overall pick is expected to be. And we have only moved further and further away from the narrative surrounding him before the draft that he was such a great prospect that he did not need to be surrounded by elite players to look like a franchise QB. He would elevate those around him. Until he does that IMO you keep bringing in competition and pushing him. Otherwise we are not a serious franchise.
