3 fumbles isn't an outrageous number for a season. Law Firm had 3 in 2012. Benson had 7 in '10 and 5 in '11. Rudi had at least 3 fumbles in 3 of his 5 seasons as starter. Dillon had at least 3 in 5 different seasons.
I know people are emotional about the one he had in the playoff game, but Hill didn't really do anything wrong there. He had the ball tucked hard against his body. Shazier had all the leverage. Hill was falling forward while Shazier was standing up. It was just an unfortunate play.
My problem with Hill is how he ran last year. 3.6 ypc is unacceptable. He was tentative with the ball. As far as fumbles go, I think the problem has been exaggerated to an extent.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
