2012 no injuries played all 12 games after brought up
21 carries with 6 receptions. Are you calling that a contribution or an accomplishment?
2013 missed 3 games out of 12 playing in 9 games until season ending left knee injury
Done for the season after 9 games, with 30 carries and 7 receptions. Not helping any 'case' here.
2014 no injuries played 16 games
To the tune of 29 carries for 99 yards with 18 receptions in 16 games. Again, this is supposed to Be an accomplishment?
2015 played 4 games until season ending left knee injury
And does 4 games hurt or help your case here?
He averaged over 10 YPC and 13 YPA before his injury last year. Those are big numbers albeit only 4 games. That's the first time he's been used that way.
And the most he's been used, and the soonest he's been injured. Again, the pattern is crystal clear. Use him, break him.
So he's suspect but two left knee injuries doesn't disqualify a player automatically. I get the point about concern he can stay on the field. But tearing your knee up twice does not make you injury prone. It means you've been injured significantly twice. His patellar injury is a concern just as Escobar's achilles. All players don't make it back from those.
He's not "suspect", he's proven unreliable. There's no grey area here, only a proven track record of repeated injuries whenever the player is called upon.

Folks can see the facts for themselves. Whenever he's put on the field in any considerable way, he's hurt.
And now, you're talking about a guy who by all indications will be starting the season on PUP after missing all of your offseason work. If it's up to me, I'm moving on. And this team should too. Foolish to compound prior mistakes by relying on unreliable players.
