I'm sure this is true. I don't think that looking at the results from 2 plays means anything. My point was that he didn't get many carries on...

Najee's ability to catch out of the backfield are one of the reason's he's an above average RB IMO. I think there's little chance that Warren...

Sure (although Chubb had 4 games with rushes of 30+ to Najee's 1 last season as I said in a previous post in this thread). You can use 20+ instead...

No. Like most GMs, I'd resign him to a massive deal and get a few more years of that sweet GM salary. And they'd fire me a couple years later because...
