The stat is incorrect and the article is meaningless. A RB career average is actually 2.57 years and the premise and entire article are meaningless because WR and CB are actuality less than three years as well. Hell the league average is only 3.3 years and that is only because kickers inflate the number by averaging 4.87 years.

The author is trying way too hard.

Kamara want be able to tote the load. Specialty role yes, 3 down back, no.

Every time Payton force feeds the ball to Kamara he comes out limping. If we want Kamara to be an every down back then he won't last the season before landing on IR.

...and Sean drives the re-signing price up on a RB we will not be able to afford, keep other players...

Murray is very competent.
Went off on teams when Kamara wasn’t 100%
He also was starting to integrate well in the passing game.

Mix it up - don’t wear Alvin out

AK needs to play the limited role he did in the first season
1/2 punch

Sean needs to feed Murray

AK trying to go between the tackles when a good defense is shutting us in - no

Much more effective a little more sparingly and outside

This is why I’m high on the Ty Montgomery signing. Having another RB who can run routes and be flexed out wide can keep Kamara fresh.

In the 2019-20 Divisional Playoff in Our Dome, Minnesota didn't have a counter-punch to Murray nor Taysom - none...

Yet, once again, as he can never be wrong after coaching one Superbowl Team with Brees, was Sean Payton showing us who was in charge...

Murray and Taysom weren't on the field to punch it in and put a Kirk Cousin's Minnesota squad away...

It was evident from his rookie season Kamara isn't a bell-cow running back, he's a change-of-pace 15-18 touches per game combo-pack RB...

But Sean Payton, like Jim Mora before him, will shoot himself in the foot just to show everyone else, who can see the obvious, is wrong and he's right...

Hate to deter from the OP's topic of AK but I'm still trying to wrap my head around 7 carries all game for a down hill power back runner in Latavius ... against his former team with everything on the line. Absolutely criminal he wasn't more involved.

A more balanced rushing attack is needed and necessary for 2020.
