Before that he wasn't really the only back the Giants used. In the beginning of his career it was thought he wasn't an every down back so he only came in for 3rd downs and used to return punts and that sort of thing.
The only problem he has ever really had was his fumbling, which was just recently for those two seasons before Coughlin arrived. Before that it wasn't really noticed as a huge issue.
I don't really care about all that shit if he can bench his own weight or half his weight or double his weight or can run a 40 in 4.4 or can stand on his head and eat a banana. He can play football, I'd take him over 90% of the other RB's in the league and thats all that matters to me.

Spoken like a true homer.
First you claim he's always been a great athlete, then you say you don't care about that stuff.
You pull stats that make him "good" not great.
You brush off a problem, "Fumbling" that has the ability to change a game, cost a game, a division a playoff birth, etc.... A problem that has cost many a good RB their job.
I'm not saying he isn't a good RB, I'm saying he's not great. Let's see what he does this year and we can consider the tearm "great". Let him do it 3yrs in a row, then you can really talk "great" but one "great" year, doesn't make a "great" RB.
