Is Chris Brown Really a Viable Option at RB?

Who's the half that's injury prone? Slaton may be a smallish back, but he played 16 games and carried it 268 times in his only pro season. He carried it over 200 times in each of his college seasons. He may not be Emmitt Smith, but I don't understand all of the talk that he is injury prone or "we're a turf toe away from no back."

As for Brown you count on nothing and plan for him to not be there, and if by some miracle he is, it's a bonus.
