The only way that's going to happen is if the Phins don't try to make him their go-to guy at RB, which is exactly what it sounds like they want to do (or at least what they told him to get him on board). If that does happen, I give it until Halloween (if not earlier) before he's missing multiple weeks with something. The Saints tried him in that role a few different times (most recently late last season, with all our injuries at the position), and he could never make it more than 2-3 weeks before he was standing in street clothes alongside the rest of em on the sidelines.
As a change of pace back though, I think he can flourish. I have no problems whatsoever with calling him one of the top 5 athletic players in the entire league. It's just a matter of how you use him, and most importantly, not over-using him.
