All I know is when he's on the field he busts his ass and goes 110 mph whether it's running or blocking.

I have zero questions regarding his heart and I don't see what the big deal is if he takes himself out, Gibbs has let him do that from day one.

Yes, but the true great running backs don't do that... Either he has little heart, or he just is not in shape to been an everydown back.

However you slice that, means IMO he is overpaid.

Plenty of guys check themselves in and out.

If Gibbs is ok with it, so am I.

The results speak for themselves on the field. CP is on pace for close to 1200 yards and 12 TDs. And people are still finding ways to bash on him. I don't get it.

Agreed. And I'm perfectly fine with him "only" getting 1200 yards since the passing game is becoming more effective each week.

Considering what he's produced so far this season... so is Betts.

Betts is not being paid superstar money... he is being paid back up money... how is that overpaid?

He's not making the vet min. either and he's only averaging 2.7 yards per carry this year.
