That's it. Out of the list of 20 RBs with at least 3 fumbles, Hill has the 4th worst YPC. You could even expand it to not just a higher YPC than Hill, but "anyone with 3+ fumbles and YPC under 4.0" and you'd only add one more name to that list, with 32-year-old Frank Gore at 3.7 YPC.
Some fumbling can be forgiven if you're producing, which is why while it was an issue last year, it wasn't a crippling issue. But if you're both fumbling AND not producing? That's a killer combo.
Maybe you counted Hill?
I was only talking about his fumbling. Hill's low YPC doesn't make his fumbling a bigger issue. 3 fumbles for a RB is acceptable and pretty normal for a RB with 200+ carries.
His production is really the only thing I'm worried about unless he's fumbling 5-6 times every year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
