Nothing other than being the starter for all of training camp, preseason, the first game and still gets all of the first team reps over Rainey in practice after the first game. But yeah if Rainey gets you a nice fantasy game im pretty sure that will be enough to bench Doug Martin.
Since that 50 point outburst:
Martin= 301 carries for 1125 yards 3.74 ypc, 42 rec for 300 yards and 5 total TDs
Rainey's averaged 4.1 over his career with TB with 7 TDs on only 196 touches.

A few points.
1) I noticed you didn't mention your original point that "he produces every time". I guess we can agree that 37% of the time isn't "every time"?
2) Rainey's average as a starter is 3.8 ypc. I'm sure that will go up against Atlanta tonight, but for now it's equal to Martin's with us intentionally cherry picking the time span to most hurt Martin.
3) It's somewhat comical that people are so quick to remove Martin's couple of really good games but completely unwilling to do the same with his couple outlier bad games. Removing his one really bad game he's run for 4.1 since that 50 point game.
People seem to be operating under the notion that Martin has played poorly ever since that 50 pointer while Rainey has come in and played well ever since then. The reality is that people are focusing on a couple of really bad games by Martin while ignoring a plethora of good ones while at the same time focusing on a couple of really good games by Rainey while ignoring the plethora of bad ones.

Rainey looks like he'll be putting up a big zero tonight.

With Bucs current line I think Martin is smart to decide to sit out a few games....

Yep. Sometimes we outsmart ourselves. After I put him in I thought, "Ya know visiting teams on Thursday suck."
Like I said, too smart sometimes for our own good.

Basically every "train" on the Bucs has been derailed. Anyone banking on a Tampa Bay running back this year is screwed. Hopefully this thread and the Doug Martin thread fall off of page 1 now. Amazing it's gotten this much action for so long.

Doug Martin was a low end RB2 on last year's trainwreck. Still have some hope left out for him.
