VJC you did a whole lot of nothing wit that post, nice job. He didn't have a great 2009, but you can't use 1 season to prove that he's a mediocre RB. Even with the struggles in 2009 he had a high success rate (11th in the NFL).
Now look at his numbers in 2007 compared to 2009. In 2007 he was top 10 in DYAR, DVOA, EYDS, and 2nd in success rate. In 2009 he was in the mid-high 20's in DYAR, DVOA, EYDS, and 11th in success rate.
Did the OL struggles and playcalling in 2009 impact his effectiveness, or did he take a permanent and signficant step down since the injury in 2008? I think it's more likely the former.
And btw, you can't really judge his vision so you may want to throw that type of analysis out. He's also not "very poor" pass blocking, and the Ravens Ray Lewis play you point to was played WELL by him.
