Look, IMO he's a pretty decent RB. He's never had a chance to be a full time starter. IMO He's more than just a "goal line back" or a "3rd Down back". He started 13 of the 16 games despite spliting time with Wells last yr. We've all echoed that he's young, durable, explosive, and can catch out of the backfield. Fumbling is an issue but tht can be corrected. If anything this move says that Torain is not a lock to start Wk 1, and that the RB spot is open.
