Jim Brown was bigger than the the lineman when he was playing.....that's really not that much of a valid comparison.
Receptions in space......like a Faulk or an LT are not like LJ taking a carry. They are shifty and avoid contact..especially on receptions.
Not to mention none of the guys you mentioned outside of Dickerson had a 400 carry season and he wasn't playing against the same types of guys LJ does. Everyone is bigger and faster now.
400 carries has been an historically bad number for an RB to reach....he may not fall completley off the face of the earth but there is going to be consequence for this many carries. If you think he's going to have a 8 year career I'd say you're dreaming.
If he goes over 400 this year then comes close again next year....barring he doesn't get hurt. He will likely show some signs of wear and decline....and the year after that he will probably go kaput.
