    but his number of carries have gone down since the begining of the season.

    first 8 games 49 carries

    last 8 games 21 carries

    of course his average per carry is better

    and in the dallas game he had 1 carry for 29 yards that only screws with the average.

    stats are misleading to judge a players true worth he have to watch the game

    That's the old,"take away his longest run and his average isn't nearly as good" argument. But why take away the longest run? Its part of his production. Now you point out the reduction in his carries, but that makes my point that more obvious: 1st 8 games, 49 carries, 178 yards, last 8, 21 carries, 212 yards. Much more productive with each carry, and its because he's becoming more decisive in his attack. And don't forget, he sat out 2 of those last 8 games, which affected his number of touches as well.

    Kinda like how you divided the season up between his first 8 games and the most recent games?

    Two great games in the playoffs do not a career make.

    i.e. we need more consistent data....However if he truly has changed or finally improved on his style and/or effort, then he certainly is worth it.

    If he plays like this another couple of games, we can get more for him on the trade market.

    This is his 4th year with the Saints, if he's been hurt all but one game of his 4 year career that's another reason to get rid of him.

    Did you read the article? It's been a year. I think you are being too hard on him. He's a good one.
