5'10" 195 

What's wrong with his size?

I think 195 is generous, but even still, he has gotten hurt on multiple occasions. Nothing has proven to me that he can be or will be "the guy". I'd love to be proven wrong, but I just don't see it happening.

Ones that first come to mind are Missouri and Alabama last year.

So two? And he was ready after the next play when his ankle was landed on in the Bama game.

With his size and how he has gotten hurt, 0% chance.

Dude, you're gonna have a really tough go of it when Shaun Shivers totes the rock. Better start easing yourself in now.

Make the argument that he "won't" be the man all you want, but I haven't seen an argument on why he "can't" be the man that hasn't sucked. 

I need to go find a post from one of these other bozos to unlike so that I can love this one. And a couple more for @bigbird

I imagined him being a speed back like McCalleb and Grant, not an all-purpose back.

2017 stats

Pettway: 76  305  4.0avg

Martin:.  74  453  6.2avg

 

You're right. Not even close

Ralph Webb endured right at 1000 carries in 4 years behind a Vandy O line. I see no reason Kam can’t be the guy.

I just have my doubts. I hope that I'm proven wrong!

I expect Kam to have 15-17 touches a game.  13 primary rush and 3-4 “other” touches.  

I don’t see us having 50 rushes a game except in blowouts.  I would guess somewhere around 35-40 rushes and passes per game.  Lean on Stidham.  Boobie, Asa, and Barrett will get the other 15-20 touches

I see him having 15-17 primary rush attempts.  You have to figure ~ 7 of those are dives up the middle on 1st
