This kid is very talented, has gotten bigger and stronger each year and has great hands. He's just a late bloomer for RB instincts. I still feel he can be pretty good with at least a functioning offensive line as he's never really had that in Minnesota.

I generally agree with the article, but the author should be disgraced from their shitty use of stats.  They're trying to pretend to be scientific and legitimate, when the stats don't mean anything.  There's nothing in their stats that differentiates between the OLine having a bad year and McKinnon having a bad year.

I'd wager a great deal of his more productive runs came out of the Wildcat...

I like McKinnon and hope he bounces back.  There is no doubt some of the running issues are due to oline since the running issues weren't isolated to just McKinnon.
