Don't people know he was a starter in Tampa and was smashing records for an undrafted RB? This guy was a lead back so nothing he does should come as a shock, he only lost his job because they took Doug Martin in 2012 and in 2011 the ineptitude of the Bucs offensively was the reason for his down in production compared to his rookie year yet he still managed 781 yards that season before they took Martin.
He could have had 1000 for us this season EASILY if he was the lead back but Ridley was playing like a stud before the fumble issues came to the fore and lost his job.
So pretty much you can put this guy as your starter and guarantee at least 5 YPC when he is plus his style and the momentum it gives the team is something you can't put a value on. The real dumb asses are the Bucs for giving him to Bill for Jeff Demps.
I've said it many a time on here this season that this type of athletic, bruising back will serve nothing but good in the playoffs when the game comes down to the trenches and key yards in the run game. LeGarrette will get those key yards.
