I think you are being harsh.

 

Consider he played with a rookie QB and rookie WRs, behind a putrid OL, and that the team played from behind most of the time.

 

In 6 of these 10 games, he had a 4.0 YPC average or higher.

 

Given that he was still new to the position and the rest of the above, that wasn't bad.

 

Now will he ever be a 25 carry per game, 1500 yard rusher like Emmitt Smith was?

 

No.

 

But can he be a good change of pace back who could step in for a game or two and get us some good yardage with some breakaway ability?

 

Absolutely.
