So because Burkhead hasn't been better than Leveon Bell, that somehow means his 2016 Week 17 was a fluke?
He's got 8 TD's, 30 catches, and is averaging over 4 yards a carry in 10 GAMES PLAYED.
If you're basing success on leading the conference in categories, you're going to be disappointed hundreds of times over every season.
No one said Burkhead was going to lead the AFC in rushing this season. Bengals fans felt he would leave and help the Patriots win. He has. Burkhead would help EVERY team win. Because he's a pretty good player.
Lol, you should have done some reading on here, about the time that Burkhead was signed by the Patriots. Many were predicting that he was going to be a sudden superstar. He's not. He's just another pawn in the Patriots arsenal.
I never predicted him to compete with Leveon Bell, or anything close. I think that he's performed the same role that he did with the Bengals, only used in more timely manner.
Obviously, you are more hung up on Burkhead more than I, or most fans for that matter. The point is, he's a decent player. He's not a secret weapon, or even a guy that you can rely on for 200 carries. He is what he is, a role player..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
