Quote:  I wouldn't consider that an outlier if he had 4 fumbles the year before.  

 

 

My use of the term "outlier" regarding Ivory's 2016 fumble stat seems misused at first glance. 

 

When you consider that he fumbled once per every 62 carries in 2015 and once per every 23 carries in 2016  -- the "outlier" term still makes perfect sense. 

 

I agree with you on the "what have you done lately" notion , and I agree that TC will have very little patience on recommending Ivory is benched/cut should the problem persist.  But the fumbles last year were out of character for Ivory and I believe he'll have a shot at being a contributor here next season despite them.
