Considering that he pulled up lame last season instead of getting a contact injury, I agree with @kungfoodude, it's mileage more than contact at this point.

High mileage/usage in college and high mileage/usage in the NFL. It just kind of is what it is.

I know he is getting paid to handle the whole load at the position but I'd rather he get his touches reduced by 20-40% and be able to see him play in 17 games rather than be out 60+% of the year being banged up.

I hope D'onta is the one that sees the heavy interior running with this revamped offensive line. He's shown that he can be that guy when that man-child in Tennessee went down. And he really hasn't had nearly as much battle damage as CMC. Yes, I'd put him above Chuba right now. As others have said, I'd use CMC as more of a weapon (along with DJ) in this offense rather than a pure RB. 

D'onta - 15 to 20 carries from the backfield a game

CMC - 15 to 20 touches a game from the backfield and slot

Chuba - 5 to 10 touches a game

We haven't used him right since Rhule got here. We won't limit his usage and will lean on him back into IR again. I would take a 4th just to not hear 'with a healthy CMC' from these people ever again. After Cam I have zero acceptance of that kind of usage and disregard for reality. The entire 'he is a competitor and wants to play' thing just screams weak coaches. It was one of Ron's worst qualities and it's just par for the course with Rhule.

I think this is a critical year for CMC.  He needs to prove that he can stay healthy and that can only be accomplished with a lighter load.  He'll need to accept that he doesn't have to carry the team.  

Having a better offensive line will hopefully mean he can be utilized more effectively and use Chuba for 30 - 40% of the carries, especially short yardage situations.

Roughly 2500 touches dating back to Stanford. Now non contact injuries are taking a toll. It doesn't take Miss Cleo to see the writing on the wall. But with a rookie QB incoming I damn sure hope he can last the season this time.

As if Rhule would be willing to give up the hope of having CMC on the field...

Anti-Rhule bias aside, the OL improvements and QB choice would really make CMC deadly if he remains healthy. A huge if but, depending on the offer, he's a great player to have.

Yes, because CMC has never been healthy. 

fug the stupidity.

Fitt just mentioned Dj Moore and CMC being used like Deebo. To me, when we had those 2 and Curtis doing those reverses and etc, we were real hard to defend. I recall plenty of times where the camera was confused where the ball was. If the RPO element is utilized and adding these aspects... the whole team benefits deeply. 

Shi Smith could also be excellent in this role if he makes it back to the team

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
