I think there's something else why Jamaal isn't getting more carries and why a less talent is starting. Whatever the reason, it's bad logic.
I agree that between 15-20 carries a game sounds great for now. But I don't think it's going to happen.

Given three more 3rd down conversions and Charles would likely have hit 15 touches. I can understand the thought that maybe Haley/Weis wanted to limit his touches based on a fumble history and a wet ball, but I have yet to go back and actually watch the game again and see if he got most of his carries before/after or during the rain.
Personally, I don't really care who starts, but I do believe Charles should get 60-70% of the touches between him and Jones. Hell, for all I know, Weis wants to start Jones so that Charles comes in fresh and gets rolling with 10 straight touches when the opposing defense is starting to tire.
