If it was that easy to have a generic 3rd down back come in and have 1000 yards receiving wouldn't more teams have at least that in total from their RB's? I mean the Pats were pretty much the perfect storm of philosophy, talent, opportunity and RBs that fit the mold and barely got there last year. Outside of Ekeler and James White the next closest RB only got a little over 500 yards. Kamara and the Saints barely broke 750 yards as a team, and that's another coach and scheme famous for using the RB in the passing game.
Feels like there's some underestimating of the season he had and his talents in this thread. I'm not saying he's clearly worth the money, but he just put up the third highest season in terms of yards per scrimmage at age 23, I don't think there's any doubt about how far above replacement level he is if he stays healthy.
