Hill wasn't the same even before the fumble. He ran for 1.5 less yards per carry in 2015 than in 2014. Dropped all the way down to 3.6 YPC and 0 games of 100+ rushing yards.
Admittedly he was still very valuable as a short yardage/goal line guy with 44 carries of 1-3 yards to-go and getting 9 TD and 31 1st Downs on them. That's pretty money, but that's not the monster promise we saw from 2014.
But yeah, there's only a couple RBs in the league right now that are worth being paid big money after their rookie deal. It's just such a short lived position anymore that you're best off just spending a 2nd round pick ever 4 years and using him up as much as you can before getting another.
