I think he is more than capable of breaking the record, but I don't believe Sean Payton will give him enough carries to get it done. Any thoughts?

2509 in 2009.How many yards is it?
Johnson had 2006 rushing yards on 358 attempts and 503 receiving yards on 50 catches the year he broke the record. The 22.4 rushes a game is what makes Johnson's record so hard to match. For comparison Ingram has averaged only 12.6 rushes a game for his career with 17.4 a game being his most. With RBBC being so popular now I just don't see one guy getting to run the ball that much any more.
Just for fun if we take Kamara's averages form last year he would need 245 rushes (15 more rushes than Ingram had last year) which would be 1495 yards and 100 catches for 1020 yards for a total of 2515 yards breaking Johnson's record by 6 yards.
After that year, Chris Johnson was not the same running back. The workload took its toll.
