I've been saying Dobbins is cooked, but boy, would I love to be wrong! I still won't believe it until I see video of him going full speed though, and I doubt that ever surfaces.

Seeing him run in shorts & not pads is not the same.

I just want to see him run and cut at full speed, because I don't believe he can do it at the moment. He can be in underwear and a t-shirt for all I care.

Even if Dobbins stays healthy until the season starts there is almost zero chance he gets a bell cow role. He has proven he can't handle. At best he will see 50 percent of the snaps and the other 50 percent will go to Gus and another rb. Only way this changes is if there are injuries to the other rbs.

Gus will most likely handle all the short work as well.

If Dobbins is healthy you could be selling him short.

When has he ever done it? You really think if Dobbins healthy and producing that Harbaugh would just keep feeding him, given Dobbins track record with injuries? No chance.

I’m not a believer that his past unlucky injuries is a precursor to future injury. It’s not like he is 5’7 185 lbs. I think labeling injury prone is overused. Sometimes people are just unlucky.

And sometimes people can't handle that kind of abuse and they get hurt a lot.

We will see how he looks going forward. I reserve the right to bail if he doesn’t look good post-injury.
