Jamaal Charles is infact an every down back
 

He reminds me of Priest Holmes prior to his hip injury with his explosiveness. He has the ability to make a big play every time he touches the ball. Has proven that he has more power than what people give him credit for. Amazingly fast. Appears to be pretty damn durable so far. Beef up the offensive line in front of him and just watch him tear shit up week in week out

I still don't think Charles could make it through a full season carrying it 20 times a game...he gets nicked up now.

He is way faster in the open field than Priest ever was.

But let's give him a season of starts before we annoint him the next Priest Holmes.

He is an every down back.. for a year or two.

maybe ... but i still want him sharing the load with a banger type.

I'd still take CJ Spiller if possible...love Charles though.

If he could eliminate the fumbles it would be even better.

He is good player on a shi$%y team, he is best used as a change of pace player all over the field.

We need to clone the 2000 version of Tony Richardson.

That would work too.

well ... yea, if we could find a fullback that can block well and do a decent job carrying the rock 10/12 times a game.

If we give Charles 20 carries a game he will be broken in three years. If we fail to add any offensive playmakers around him, then he will be broken in two years.

Absolutely... if guys like Johnson, Faulk, Westbrook, Barber, Garner etc. can be true feature players, so can Jamaal.

His recent workload is a bit worrisome though, 24, 25, 26 carries week in/week out is too much IMO. Once in awhile that'd be fine, but otherwise i'd rather see him average 20 carries & 5-10 passes a week.

A banger back is a must, you dont enter a Porsche in the Crashup Derby.

Perfect analogy. I agree.

I love this kid. Lets not kill him just yet.

While this season has been a lost cause, props to Haley for figuering out what we have in him

You mean, props to LJ.

Because had LJ not gone public calling his coach a golfer, and a member of the media a gay slur, then Charles would still be riding the pine.
