Its not true. Its a knee jerk reaction to the over hype LF7 received. Neither one of them, in fact, all of our RB's look to be the same with different strengths/weaknesses. If anything, LF7 so far has the best tool-set being that he can catch, has the size for the middle and the speed for the edge.
I said this after Wisconsin and I'll say it again. The pre-season Fournette hype reminds me of Ricky Williams and Reggie Bush when they joined the Saints. No way could anyone live up to that hype, and likewise, too much is being expected of Fournette.
Yep. LF7 has the most potential of any back we have had in a LONG time. He is smooth, big and fast. No he is not 4.3 fast, but he is 4.4 - 4.5 which is very good for his size. He will grow into a complete package with this size, speed, vision and hands.
Of course he is legit. What was bad is the hype before he saw the field. Realistic expectations are beginning to be had. And that is actually good. Exactly. We call that half as effective.
Of course he will. He just didn't step on the field and become an instant Superstar. That's all. Hershel did.
Apples oranges. Hershel was given the rock 24/7. Anyone with a brain knew this would not be the case with LF7. I am 100% confident that LF7, as he is now, would be one of the SEC's leading rushers if he had all the carries.
