I'm over here now
Running great, my question is the way he's running now, very violent, how many years do his knees last?

How long do they need to last? Long enough to win some Superbowls.

Seattle had Marshawn Lynch for 6 seasons. Seemed way too short, but in that time they did a lot. I'm sure we will get 4-5 seasons from the J-Train.
 
Always hard to say, Marshawn played a long time playing the same. Same Blount. How well does he take care of his body and how lucky will he be?
 
RB's typically have a really strong 3-5 years surrounded by ok years then hit 30 and can't do much....kind of the life of the position...so if we get 3 more years out of him at this level then well done on both sides.
 
He has an issue with his knees, that's why he wasn't drafted til 5th. I forget exactly what it is but there's something.
 
There's nothing wrong with his knees. Some teams thought he'd have bone on bone problems but he's never (knocking on wood) had an injury to his knees.

He runs just like Lynch did and he's bound to get banged up from that but it's not going to affect his knees unless (knocking in wood again) he sustains an injury to them from a hit that would injure anyone's knees.

Edit - I stand corrected he did tear his ACL back in 2011. No issues with it since then.

His acl Tear is why teams were worried about the bone on bone issue. It is a real concern for the future as of right now he has not shown any issues with it.
 
His knee "issues" were blown way out of proportion by the media, much like Tunsil's "issues."
 
Odd question that is impossible to answer accurately.
