This time last year the debate raged with a large contingent so sure he was beyond redemption. His fumble rate was blown out of proportion due to timing and a short sample size that did not include the rest of his career.
I am so glad that has been put largely to rest. So many refused to listen to reason. Of course, I do not expect them to admit it now. Surely there will be more chicken little narratives to come, but for now I am enjoying the calm waters.

Like you said, it was too small a sample size to deem him a chronic fumbler.
Just like, (I know it will piss some off) I still think that Xavier Smith is still a decent punt returner and not a chronic fumbler.
Up until that last game, nobody had him pegged as a fumbler.
Very small sample size of fumbling going into this year.
Agreed he wasn't known as a fumbler prior to that disastrous fumble in the playoffs. It's a shame it happened in that game because of it's importance and visibility to everyone on the biggest stage of his career.
I like X. I think X is ok as a returner. Nothing special. We can and should try and upgrade that position. Not just because of the fumble but also because we could use a legit return threat that can break one or two every now and then. I just don't see X as that type of returner.
So, I would love to see us bring in some competition at that position. If he beats them out...great, but at least we tried to get better there.
Can you imagine having a legit returner to our ST's to compliment our already elite offense and defense??? Good golly Miss Molly!!! We would be a complete team in all 3 phases and that would make us almost unstoppable.

At least they had someone other than WR1 catching punt returns for fair catches.
That was mind boggling.
