Could the fumble problem stem from the fact that everytime MG enterered the game, the pressure was on for him to be a world beater. Trying to do to much with the very limited opportunities he had through out the year.
I think once he gets the ball in his hands every play we'll see a different player. It's not quite the same, but I see it like asking a QB to throw a 15 yard strike on a crossing pattern the one time a game he throws the ball, of course he can make that throw, but if he misses badly once or twice, we all start asking for a new QB because of his accuracy problem, Or if a kicker is asked to kick a 40 yard field goal 1 out of every 30 times we kick a field goals and sits the rest of the season, of course he's capable, but If he misses once out of 4 times he has a chance coming off the bench, he has accuracy problems. Experience is huge, playing every down is huge, comfort running the offense is huge.
Make no mistake, MG will put the ball on the ground, he will also throw some pretty horrendous Ints and will lose a big chunk of yardage from time to time trying to make too much out of a busted play. But I think given the experience and hopefully the right coaching we will see him on ESPN for a lot more positive plays than negative ones.

That's ok, it happens to the best of us. If you had read my post with anything bordering on a reasonable attitude you would have noticed that my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek.
