There's that, and then, if I'm an owner/Front office looking for that special running back, I'd also have to wonder about his judgment. First there was the marijuana incident, and then he can obviously get angry enough to throw away 14 million and sit out an entire year to make a point. I'm willing to pay for a great back, if he still is one, but do I want to pay his rate while wondering about his character/reliability?

Last week I watched a video of all his runs in the KC playoff game two years ago. Really amazing, fluid, a level above Connor, who is a great back. But I have to think some of that was having the right blockers and already working with them for years.  Maybe a new line would not be much different, but I'm not sure. DeCastro and Pouncey really lead well and block downfield.
