90% of the time he lines up in the backfield he's tackled for no gain or a loss.

bullshite. He's averaging 7 ypc in his career and has 5 TDs.

he's averaging 13 ypc this year. (take out the long run, he's still averaging about 4)

And all of that is with us NEVER using him as a decoy. Maybe if we fake it to him every once in a while it'll make it more effective when he does get the ball.

and 50% of he time it works every time. But there's only a 35% chance if that.

maybe not that often, but he DOES seem to go down without much to show for it, more often than the big backs. if your objective is to move the chains he's not the correct playmaker. if your objective is to hit a home run now and then, he's your guy.
