I don't understand the disdain on this board for statistically the best RB in Seahawks history. People call him soft. So what? The results speak for themselves. He was a big reason why we reached our first Super Bowl. He was also the only player in team history to win an MVP award.

Is he being discredited because of a great o-line? That's like Sherman being discredited because he plays with ET and Kam. Is it because he claims to have been stabbed in the back, therefore not a team player? That makes him unlikable but doesn't diminish his skill. Is it because he tried avoiding contact? I'd say avoiding contact certainly increased his production.
I believe that it was the perception that he left us with... his health was more important than the success of the team.

To a degree, he was a quitter... likely too strong a criticism, but not too far off.

The "stabbed in the back" thing is certainly my biggest point of bias against him. He was certainly a very good running back, but whatever.

Any one of those things would be tolerable. Wrap them all up together and put them in a tortilla and you have one bad burrito.

I have a soft spot for Chris Warren. He was a smooth gliding malcontent that carried this team through some very lean times.

Can anyone direct me towards some highlights of his career?
