It's not unreasonable that a RB fumbles, but there is something inopportune about Ridley's fumbling. Ridley came out of college with fumbling issues; he's had some issues here; he's had time to address the ball, and the situation has actually gotten worse IMO. His fumble in 2011 (the only one I can remember is Denver in the playoffs) was not horrible. He was being held up by one guy and hit or stripped by another. I also don't blame him for fumbling when he was unconscious, but he's had two offseasons to address his main shortcoming, and the fumbles have gotten worse. The Buffalo fumble was horrific, and the Carolina fumble was not much better.
I'm more annoyed with Ridley as the feature back. He's not a big play guy, and that's what he was supposed to be and why we let Green-Ellis go.
