Then again, maybe my expectations are skewed due to Priest's excellent ball control.

Sheer luck? You're either kidding or just plain dumb.
The kid carried the ball 271 times in 13 games his senior season at Penn State and added 41 catches. He had exactly ZERO fumbles.
He had 201 total touches last year with zero fumbles.
He's had 3 career fumbles in 374 career touches. That's roughly HALF the number of touches per fumble of guys like Jamal Lewis. It's better than LaDanian Tomlinson.
You simply can't compare him to Priest...Holmes' touches per fumble ratio is ungodly - one of the best EVER in the history of the game.
