What has yet to be seen is what age/increased workload might do to his effectiveness. He's going to start this year and see 60-70 percent of the touches, so if he holds up this year he can silence all the doubters.

Why do people think this guy is such an injury risk? Why are there so many "doubters?" He had no injury issues at Minnesota, and has played in all but 3 games as a pro. And the 3 games he missed were the first 3 of his rookie season. He's a young 24 due to his lack of mileage.

I see no reason for anyone to doubt his durability. He may get more carries this year, but will still share time with Felix Jones.
