With next to no other weapons around him, and questionable QB play, he put up 1152 yards rushing at a 4.3 YPC clip, AND had 76 receptions for 522 yards. He was their only offensive weapon, and he still produced like that playing in a division with two playoff defenses.
You might say he isn't a good person, or teammate, and I have no idea about those things, but I would hardly say he wasn't particularly good.

Fournette Career Numbers (After 3 years)
666 rushes, 2,631 yards (4.0 YPC)
134 catches, 1,009 yards (7.3 AVG)
That's from the 5th overall pick. Averaging under 900 rushing yards per year. You brought up his 4.3 YPC last year, but the year before that he had 3.3 YPC and the year before that 3.9 YPC. Also that 4.3 YPC is 2nd the lowest among all 16 1k rushers last year (only beats Joe Mixon).
He's ~7th best RB from his own draft.
I don't see what he brings to the table that journeymen like Carlos Hyde can't, and Hyde is on his 5th team in 4 years.
