If CP can keep his tude in check & play for a reasonable salary (he ain't gettin big bucks anywhere else) he could be here for 3-4 more solid years playing as a 3rd down back. He's as good as any in the nfl at picking up the blitz, he's a better blocker than our TEs.

I agree. In addition, he is not a bad receiver as a check down.

I just don't know if he can handle the fact that he isn't the runner he was four years ago, check his ego at the door and get the job done. He's never (IMHO) shown that kind of maturity. I guess I think he is one of those "I try. I do what the coaches tell me to do. Therefore, when I fail, it's someone else's fault." Critical self analysis does not strike me as CP's strength.
