Of course there is some area in between 2 and 4 YPC where it may not be clear if he is making a valuable contribution or not.
His weight is an extremely minor part of this, and it would appear that is the message Pete is sending by responding with "He is doing really well."
I'm trying to understand how his weight is an extremely minor part of Lacy being able to contribute. Was it lack of talent, then, that caused Green Bay to move on from him?
He ate his way out of the first stop in his career and with millions at stake in FA, limited his financial future by continuing to stuff himself. Teams don't put weight clauses in contracts for fun.
Based on his history his weight is THE concern, and will always be a concern with this guy. Even if he does manage to contribute while failing to make weight it will still be a concern, because at some poundage it will affect his performance or propensity for being injured.
Some fan saying it isn't a concern won't change this. Only putting together a good stretch of controlling his weight will change it.
Agree. His weight is a minor part of this? It's a huge part of this, and that is no pun. Maybe someone needs a visual.

That picture is photoshopped, can't wait for these players to get on the field to dispel this nonsense. I say rumble big man rumble.
