    The Browns are cursed. They have been the most mismanaged and dysfunctional organization since Elway beat them with The Drive.

    I'd take Leonard over Ingram every day of the week and twice on Sundays... This is his rookie year and he had over 1000yds in only 13 games... Ingram was mister 1.9 for 3 years...

    So would I and wouldn’t think twice. I just meant from him finding his own standpoint, it didn’t feel like a great year for a tailback of LF’s caliber. It was a good year no doubt, but I feel he is much better than that and it may just be a first year getting used to the league and the grind of being a feature back.

    And the fact that the Jags O line isn't quite up to the 90's Dallas Cowboy line.

    Actually, MI has never averaged less than 3.9 yds in his career. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/I/IngrMa01.htm
    His career 4.5 ypc average puts him in the top 40 in NFL history. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rush_yds_per_att_career.htm

    Having pointed all that out, I'd still take Fournette over Ingram. More big play potential, better receiver, off-the-chart potential

    And he is younger and has less mileage on his body.

    Ingram early in his career wasn’t a feature back either. I think Fournette had more carries this season than Ingram did in his first 2 seasons.

    It may end up being his best year.
