Always was a fan, but didn't think he would look this much better, this quickly.

Opponents are literally scared to tackle him one on one.

I'm okay with this because he'll run you over and then keep going.

I agreed with Lester and SFP about hill. Honestly now I can see Fornette is a once in a decade back. He is improving ever game now.

Guice is a true freshman behind two studs.

That's not exactly fair to him given it took Fournette quite a few games to really get going last year.. and he had more opportunities because the depth was weaker last year.

but yes Fournette is the best. I think a lot of people envisioned him to be this great tbh.

There were threads on here after the Miss State game about how Jeremy Hill was better


i think at that point in his career that hill was better.. but i would never say that he was better overall.

just like the guy in this thread joking about the guice praise off-season. guice will have his time to shine.. he is farther behind solid depth than even fournette last season. fournette had less depth ahead of him and it still took him till around the florida game to really break out. which was 7 games in.

fournette has been touted as a once in a generation talent and that is showing true

I absolutely did. To the entext that he supposedly underperformed early last season, it looked to me like poor OL play.

I figured he'd eventually be a heisman candidate. His HS film was unreal.

The blocking is fantastic and his vision and decision making seem to compliment his ability to just blow past people before they flinch.


My favorite is seeing him bounce to the outside, and turn it up field.. most back can't think about doing that in the SEC...

He is doing it and making people look slow at 230 lbs

His speed for that kind of size is what amazes me. I have to remind myself that he is 230 pounds blowing past linebackers and DB's. That is Incredible Hulk/Playstation kind of ridiculous.

Being studs and being THIS good are not the same


Guice is going to be special too, no, I do not think he will be on a LF level but he can be every bit as good as Chubb is in Georgia.

He is the SEC's next superman and is gonna take LSU to the ship! Maybe both of the next 2 years.

He is a difference maker on the same level as Tim Tebow, Cam Newton.

Weird to say that a runningback can have the same effect as a quarterback, but I really have that feeling when I watch him play this year.

If he stays healthy he won't let us lose.

I didn't think anyone could be this good. I thought he was legit, but this is an absurd level he's at right now. If he teleported, I wouldn't bat an eye.

I've seen him dominate his opponents for years. It was said numerous times he was a once a decade player . I'm not surprised at all . Biggest get if Miles career . Now he needs to turn it into gold

I admit I underestimated the amount of improvement he'd make. I was thinking he'd average around 120-130 yds a game. He's getting almost that by halftime.

I thought so, but I didn't he would he so dominant and get al the heisman talk until his JR year. Either way, I don't think I would have expected him to be so good. It's just amazing to watch what he brings to this team. This is greatness before our very own eyes we're watching. Not just on the field, in the classroom and his character as well. He makes this team special.
