"He doesn't play enough to play well"?
If a prerequisite to more play is not good play, what is? We should just play a player more because......

"Going around blockers is not his style"
I scratch my head in this one.

You should have quoted those instead of the numerous valid reasons his stats aren't better.

I'm not buying the more carries argument either. I think better blocking and less predictable plays would help him more than anything else.

I don't view those as excuses.

It's a combination of not playing enough to get a rhythm and also not utilizing him to his fullest potential. Payton has said it himself. I don't understand. If it were a WR that we only threw 5 yard out routes to then everyone would say we need to throw it to him across the middle some or down the field. We'd say no wonder he always gets 4 catches for 20 yards, but since it's a RB some how it's magically different. Color me baffled....
