His feet are still quick and he still bounces off tackles. He was hurt about a quarter of a season and the season after the same injury was still hanging around so he split time early in the year until ultimately sitting the rest out. So he was injured in one specific place but it allowed the rest of his body to get a break from the 10+ straight seasons.
When he fully came back from that injury he got 900 yards splitting time with two other backs which is pretty damn good, just like when Jamal Lewis went out in training camp with the leg then came back the next season and racked up 2000. Of course Jerome even with the time off was still aged so you wouldn't expect him to get 2000.
At that point in his career I'd say splitting with 1 guy helped him but take away the third(which imo wasn't really needed,but still a good game plan)and he's coming away with about 1300 yards.
Yada yada yada...point is I think he's still a good player and an important part of the offense,although I do agree that he's gone after the Super Bowl win or lose because while he might have some value left it's rapidly declining.
