RBs with the most broken tackles since 2015

[Mojo]

Considering he hasn't played a full season in years that is flat out impressive.

[/url] thats pretty damn impressive. Still a very effective running back and will still have a large role in the offense.

Aside from the run he had against the Jags in the rain a few years back, I will always remember this run - JStew has incredible balance.

 

 

I just saw Trai Turners life flash before my eyes at the end there.

It's a shame he can't finish a full season.

By cutting his workload, Stewart may be good for another 2 seasons.  At 30, do not expect what he has done over the past 2 years--RBs start declining (research supported) at age 27.  However, Stewart's running style makes him hard to bring down.

Its funny because i feel most of this fan base wrote him off this offseason. 

 

Once some see this stat they will quickly turn that opinion around

I thought it was perfectly clear, once his contract was renegotiated, that Stewie wasn't going anywhere.  And that the reason the contract was renegotiated was because the team WANTED him to stay.

It used to be, back in the day, that the age of 30 was considered the year that RBs start becoming washed up and used up.

Stewie is 30, but his case is unique in that for all his years prior to that he was the primary RB only two of those years.  This has reduced his NFL pounding "wear and tear" over the years.  (If memory serves, he's never had an injury caused by another player, its just his damn ankles which have been a lingering problem for him since high school... oh, and last year he had a ham string).

The highest number of carries Stewie has ever had in a year is 242 in 2015.  In his 9 year career thus far, he's only had 200+ carries in a season 3 times.

Considering that most starting RBs over their years have almost or more than 300 carries in a season for years, except for his innate physical weakness (his ankles dammit), Stewie is still pretty "fresh" for an NFL starting RB.
