Quote:What more is there to prove? He was a guy coming out that didn't have outstanding qualities, and he's a running back, the position that has the easiest production transition to the NFL and he's not had a thousand yard season yet and was benched in favor of the guys they were desperately hoping to upgrade in indianapolis.

 

RB, albeit easier to transition to than others, is still something you have to get accustomed to in the NFL. Some guys like MJD, Ray Rice, AP, Shady, etc can come in and just pick up from where they left off in college....

 

Some guys come in and have great careers early but don't have long term staying power (i.e. Chris Johnson, etc)

 

Some guys it can take a few years and then they hit their stride or they go to another team and find new life (i.e. Reggie Bush, Marshawn Lynch, etc)

 

So I will give him one more year with one of the better organization in the league right now.
