Does anyone else think that Walker peaked early? Dude can play, he's already won a SB and was SB MVP, but lots of players hang around the league for years and never get a sniff of a championship. Other than the money, it could end up being all downhill from here.

Time will tell.
I think this whole thing turns on injury risk. I saw part of a JS interview the other day where he was asked about the RB position and it's all he talked about, the beating they take. The dilemma being Walker wanting more reps which only increases the likelihood of injuries. The reason Walker is no longer a Seahawk is that combination.

Ironically he was injured when sharing reps with Charbs and he didn't have a single injury (SSS) once Charbs was injured. Charbs will miss more games than Walker has in his career.. Weird and wacky stuff.

Yes, time will tell, but as far as I know he will be full health going into next season.
Also, I thought he was getting more patient and reading/trusting his blocking better. He's 25yo.
To be clear, I'm not referring to him peaking as a player (although that is possible). I'm referring to the notion that he won it all so early in his career. As mentioned, many players never get close to a Super Bowl ring.
