Quote:Since I'm in a giving mood, I'll give you two: Tony Dorsett and Franco Harris. Maybe you've heard of them? They each had NINETY fumbles in their careers.....and they seem like they turned out alright. They averaged a fumble once every 32-34 carries.

 

 

 

Quote:Oh....and Eric Dickerson had one fumble every 38 carries....

 

That's pretty good research by you.  Thank you.

 

My point still remains that fumbling every 31 carries is very rare if you had to find 3 hall of famers from about 30 years ago and in a different era.  I'm not sure your point that you are making is as good as you would think though considering you have just compared him to the 3 worst fumblers in NFL history and he still fumbles more than them.

 

Just for point of reference, David Wilson couldn't get out of Tom Coughlin's doghouse and had his snap count diminished as a result of his fumble issues and he didn't fumble as often as Denard.  

 

I really don't understand the premise of this debate.  Are we arguing that Denard's fumbling/catching issues aren't a big deal?  Granted, its a small sample size, but his hands don't seem to be an aberration.
