Is Fournette The Softest Guy In The NFL?

Been out two and a half games. Now he’s saying he’s still questionable because of some “tightness”. That big fricking pussy walked off the field sipping water had has yet to come back. Meanwhile Aaron Rodgers was carted off with a knee injury and returns the second half to win the game. Wish I could trade his powder puff arse.

He is who we thought he was

Pretty much, Jay Ajayi is going to play with a fracture in his back. That would keep Fournette out for two years.

Yep, Rodgers hobbling around the pocket is exactly the same as a running back hobbling through the hole. He just must be a giant pussy...
If you want to bitch about him getting injured, go for it. But if you think it’s a good idea for an NFL running back to play before a quad or hamstring injury is fully healed, you’re an idiot.

That’s a pain tolerance issue, not a performance issue.

A lot of ranters get upset when people talk about fournette, but he is just one many new generation NFL guys that are learning to get paid as much as possible to play as little as possible. Ajayi is one, Fournette is one, Alshon is one. There seem to be more and more. I’m thinking agents have something to do with it and I fear it’ll only get worse.

I'm not defending Fournette at all, at least not when it comes to that. I own Fournette, and would love for him to come back and be a rockstar. But, as someone who played receiver and has dealt with a muscle injury (quad in my case), I can tell you that it's an extremely frustrating injury to deal with. First, it's not simply a matter of pain tolerance; if the muscle tightens up, it simply won't function, period. Again, fine if you don't need to move much, or quickly, but if you're a WR/DB/RB/etc who needs to run full speed with full leg extension, it simply can't be done. Second, even once it feels fine, you never know until you test it. You get out there, start moving around at 75% speed, feel good, open up into a sprint, and WOOPS, you pull up limp and have now added another two weeks to your recovery.
There's a difference between playing hurt and playing injured. If one doesn't understand the difference, one probably shouldn't be passing judgment on professional athletes.

Dude, I hate your politics. But as an athlete myself I have to agree with you here.

I think you will see this with young RBs more and more. They stand very little to gain by playing through injuries even if very minor.

The Jaguars want Fournette to be healthy in January, not risking anything in week 4. You think Fournette is 100% making the call to not play?
Posted on 9/29/18 at 3:37 pm to GAFF
Is this thread real? Do people actually think Fournette is “soft”? If you’ve ever watched him play you’d realize he’s about as physical as they get. However, if you’ve seen him play and still think like this then I must conclude you’re either an idiot or have never played sports/pulled a muscle before. A pulled hamstring/quad lingers for a long time, and it is definitely not a injury you can play through. Bitch all you want about how many times he’s had soft tissue issues but calling him soft is ignorant.

As a Jags fan, we are starting to get the "fragile Freddy" syndrome for LF7

A hamstring isn't like playing with a sore back or some shite. If you pull your hamstring you literally cannot run. He's a running back. He's trying to make sure that doesn't happen.
This isn't some type of thing you "push through". You need to be certain the muscle can operate at 100% before you play.
Now is he injury prone? Possibly. But that doesn't make him "soft". He has a career to worry about, he doesn't give a shite about your big fantasy football game.

I wouldnt say he's soft but hamstring injuries are generally preventable, especially if following the guidance of a professional S&C coach. Dude has huge quads but doesnt have the hammies to work with em
i would question how well he takes care of his body. Having to drop all that weight before the season tells me he may be lacking in that area. At this point he would be labeled as injury prone id say

I agree but I played OL and DL and I can tell you trying to play through a strained or pulled hammie isn’t going to cut it.
Best in these cases to rest and make sure you’re 100% instead of pushing it and maybe tearing it and out for awhile.
Always err on the side of caution instead of trying to prove something and screwing up the injury more.
I’ve played hurt and I’ve played injured and there is a big difference

In my defense, if you got a full rundown of my politics, you would probably be more ok with them. I truly am a hardcore minarchist libertarian.
But, because the PT is overwhelming Neocon, I look liberal. When you take into consideration that many are moronic Neocons and how much time I have to spend arguing with them, I look damned near Progressive
Believe me, I have very strong feelings about a board that gets so idiotic that I find myself having to defend Toddy

This is his first hamstring "injury" of his career. And they seem to be very cautious with it. Hardly a sign that he doesn't take care of his body.
His other injuries were ankle and foot related, after in game accidents. Hardly the type of injuries that speak to ones conditioning.
As you said, is he injury prone? Sure, but I don't think he's soft or lacking in conditioning.
