I'm not sure how anyone calls him a starting running back.  He's on a 1 year deal with only $50k guaranteed.  That's a "yeah we'll bring you in and see if you can make the team" deal, not a "you've definitely got a spot on this roster" type deal.  I wish him the best of luck like anyone else in the building or in the RB room, but he'll very likely be on the bubble when we cut to 53.

Folks call him starting caliber because he has started games in the NFL and produced very well in those opportunities.

Yeah it (that he's a starter or he's very good depth) just seems to get mentioned a lot around here without any context.  That's pie in the sky thinking considering the contract and his mere 7 touches in 15 games last year.  Sure he played well 2 years ago over a small sample of games (3 impressive games to be precise), but that's a long time ago in RB years by the time the season rolls around.  Hope springs eternal I guess.  How many unhatched chickens we up to now?
