The Skins have ruined his career how so? Explain that one.
In 2004 when we trade for CP he was a 1300+ yard back his first year. The following season he was a 1500+ yard back.
In 2006 he had the injury bug 500+ yard back in less than half the season and thats respectful with all the injuries he had starting in game one of pre-season.
Last season 1262 yard back, with 389 yards receiving, with a patched up O-line and a four year older player since leaving denver. IMO I believe CP is a much more complete back now than he ever was in denver, he does a lot more for the offense than just run the ball. How many other RB's in this league can bring to the table what a healthy CP does? Not any IMO.
That to me is insane to think the Skins have ruined his career with a team that is well known for pounding the rock (Especially under Coach Gibbs). I think he is right on track to have another huge season with the run and being even more involved with the catch.
