Kamara rushed for over 5 yds a carry vs ATL- he's functional. But opposing teams have tape on him, and they dedicate additional coverage to him. His numbers from his rookie year were unsustainable. AK is a fantastic player, but it was never going to be the sort of 16 game highlight reel his rookie year might have led the naive to believe.
On a related note -the team has played 6 complete games with Brees, and has averaged 27+ points per game (including the debacle that was the first Falcons game). That would place us 5th in scoring league wide. The offense will continue to improve under Brees, imho, and AK will start to post some more impressive numbers.. Perhaps Payton featured Kamara last week vs ATL in part because Kamara was such a local hero there, perhaps because his running style helped mask the deficiencies of the makeshift left side of the O-line. Either way, I can't see Payton doing that without Kamara being basically healthy.
