I have a simple model bound form, and just checked the html generated by the blade, and the action is pointing to the wrong url. Did I write the route wrong? None of the documentation helps with this. The action points to /users not /users/{user}, which is where the route points.
@extends('layout')
@section('content')
<h1>This is a test.</h1>
<ul>
@foreach($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
{!! Form::model($user, ['method'=>'put', 'route'=>['users.update', $user->id], 'class'=>'form']) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{{ csrf_field() }}
{!! Form::label('Your Name') !!}
{!! Form::text('name', null,
['required', 'class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder'=>'Your name']
) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('Your E-mail Address') !!}
{!! Form::text('email', null,
['required', 'class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder'=>'Your E-mail Address']
) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::submit('Submit', ['class'=>'btn btn-primary']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
@stop

Problem solved. It was an issue with the id being improperly formatted. It should have been $user->ID, not $user->id.
