Well, someone has to ask the question. Was it a good idea to extend him? Everyone was well aware of the fumbling problem. It wasn't a one off thing. He's had his share of fumbles. This time it cost a game against a bitter division rival.
If they let him play out the year they could take a close look and see if the body of work is enough to overcome the fumbling problems. If not, they have Blake Corum waiting in the wings to be the RB1. And Jarquez Hunter behind him waiting for his shot.
Now they've got him under contract. Not so easy to move on. Do they stick with him because they're paying him? Or do they give the rock to Corum? Make Kyren the 3rd down back. Its hard to be patient when you have to wonder if one of these fumbles will cost a playoff game.
