How can you say that when every other RB has been fine? If every RB had fumbling issues, then maybe you would have a case.
Some guys just don't get it no matter how much they are taught, and I think Michael is one of them.

And again, using the IR w/ Designate to Return isn't necessarily about quality of the player. It's about holding a roster spot for an additional RB in case something doesn't work out with what we have or someone else gets hurt. Best time to use it is at the beginning of the season when you have a surplus of healthy players and spots are tight. Later in the year, people will get hurt and spots will open up as the natural course of things. The Designate to Return becomes less important. If a starter gets hurt, you just hold them on the roster until they heal up.

If Lane isn't ready by Week 6, they have to either put him on IR or IR/return (if they haven't used it)
That's why I'd rather save it for Lane than burn it on Turbin.
Well...they would just have to place him on the 53 after 6 games. Doesn't mean he has to be ready, they then have a leeway period for him practice, I think 3-4 weeks. At that point he would need to pass a physical and play or they would have to IR/injury settlement.

Bye Christine.
Whether they IR Turbin or not, he stays a Seahawk. Jackson may be better in pass pro (than just about anyone on any team!) but Turbo's still the second best back on the team. Now we got 3 guys that basically do everything right.

Turbin I think is gone. Christine could learn a lot about being a competitor from Fred Jackson.

I kind of hope Christine is moved and Rawls stays
