So that leaves some guy named Pierce. It would be an optimal landing spot. But everyone needs to keep in mind that the Bears OL really sucks. The GM doesn’t make OL a priority. He’d rather give 70 MIL to Robert Quinn or draft a TE in the second round. And nobody has traded away more draft picks over the past few years. Yeah, I'm a Chicago homer and think that Chicago is the best landing spot for him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how good Fournette would actually be in Chicago, but the *idea* of him forming a thunder-lightning combo with Montgomery is good in theory. They desperately need a between-the-tackles run game and like you said, Cohen isn't that guy and Patterson, LOL, can run you a few jet sweeps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fournette is talented, the jags never built around him with a decent line I see 2019 MG3 and 2020 LF as roughly equal talents so with Ekeler still in town that seems like it would be $4mm down the drain for the Bolts. Could happen but I doubt it. 1 minute ago, Tommy Lee Jones said: It makes sense. They have nobody outside of Montgomery. Cohen and Patterson are gadget players. So that leaves some guy named Pierce.

Duckbutter 71 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 it will be tampa.. I had 3 auctions drafts yesterday and got good prices on Vaughan and R Jones in all 3. My bad luck has the power to bring LF to Tampa. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll look into that, but Pace has traded away so many draft picks that it’s hard to keep track. That said, I had no issue with what he gave up for Mack, even if he underperformed last season.

Probably hoping that between the two of them, the sum of the parts is roughly equal to one decent RB. If you could somehow fuse both of their best qualities into a single dude then MontNette (or would it be FourGomery?) would probably still be second string behind a guy like Mark Ingram.

jnormy 421 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm thinking either Tampa or New England would be good landing spots for him. The Bucs would be great... win-now team, upgraded o-line, and he's better than Ronald Jones so he could slot right in as a starting RB against defenses that can't stack the box against Brady and his many receiving weapons. New England’s o-line was #7 in PFF’s preseason ranking and there’s opportunity for carries there, so I’d be ok with that too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjm76 769 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It will be very interesting to see where Fournette lands, for sure, as it will likely negatively impact the value of some players who are being drafted pretty high. If he goes to Philadelphia, Miles Sanders' value will plummet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SundayGravy 86 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Big Bears fan and I don’t see it. I just don’t think they place enough value on the running game to spend anymore on it. And I do think they like Montgomery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IlliniGuy76 1,124 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I DID draft Fournette in a rebooted dynasty league last night but got good value on where I drafted him. Folks need to remember that this cat has a lot of talent who played behind a bad offensive line with limited offensive weapons. Yes, he made a mistake and has paid dearly for it. The hope is that he goes to a RB needy team, gets bulk carries & gets the contract he's seeking this upcoming offseason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duckbutter 71 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Why are we calling LF a bust already. He could go to a team and still do well. He is leaving the Jags.. not the Chiefs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is leaving the Jags.. not the Chiefs. Agreed. He averaged 4.3 yards per carry behind a middling o-line with a mediocre passing game. Just hoping for a better situation with enough volume to matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not likely but the best fit for sure , DeeJay was drafted with the future in mind ... not an immediate impact player. And Hyde was only signed as insurance for Carson, since Penny got injured. It's not like Pete Carrol is in love with any of these guys, outside of Carson Edited August 31, 2020 by RunCMC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The kid is still uber talented and, in the right spot, could still compete as a solid RB2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
