Yes, because he goes from a 10 carry a game back to a 20 carry a game back. Doubling the load on anything will have you question its durability under said new load. This isn't rocket science.

Why? JRob didnt get any carries last game. ETN took the whole load, and it wasn't 20 carries. His season high so far is 14, against the Giants.

He became "less durable" in my mind after watching him play for 2 games. 
Players have varying styles and technique associated with taking a hit as a ball carrier. His style is reckless. 

I also never compared him to anyone, but I did see others do so as you recall.

Agree. He also needs to learn when the play is over and he's not going to get anymore yards, at which point he needs to shield the ball like a Roman gladiator.

What a game today he had. Was interested to see how he would handle a full workload but was just fantastic. He had 28 carries today. His speed is such a weapon but also his toughness and ability to get the extra yards is kind of a pleasant surprise. 

If he can stay healthy over the long term he will be talked about with Fred and MJD.

And if ever wears out, just draft his younger brother, who is a clone and may be even better

ETN is a monster.

Another 30 touches today after 27 last week. You could see the obvious wear and tear on him at the end of the game. He's a beast, but there's no way he can keep up that work load and stay healthy.

Third straight game with at least 100 yards rushing.

4 TDs in the last 3 games.

This guy is a total stud. We do need to get him some help, but he is a star.

Those were grown man yards today! The numbers won't show how well he actually played, he dug out a ton of dirty yards when the hole wasn't there.

And he still underused in the pass game. Home Run Pick!!!

That's harsh. JRob has been arguably our best player for the last 3 years. The problem was he needs 20 carries a game to be at his best and he was never getting them in Doug's offense and especially with ETN playing like he is.

ETN the player. Very good!

The value at taking an RB on a roster devoid of talent in the first round, bad value.

It’s not hard to comprehend but then again….

I say use him up. Don’t throw caution to the wind, of course, but RBs have a short shelf life. Trade him to another team in 3 years with dents, scratches and a Check Engine light on.

he's 4 more 100 yard games from Fred Taylors franchise record of consecutive games at the century mark. Unfortunately there's only 8 games left so he can't tie Sanders' nfl record Sad

He's really fun to watch, would love to see him add a few more pounds of muscle to better withstand the hits, but otherwise he's lived up to his draft spot.
Championship Formula:

1) Draft Trevor Lawrence!
2) Play good physical Defense! 
3) Keep 91% of the roster healthy!
4) ???
5) Blank #2
6) CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
