You get an average RB going up the middle. One average quick, elusive guy that can run the outside. And a good player that can do a bit of everything. How is that an all-pro skillset? Seems like a lot of average mixed in there too.
Okay, so since this is not a serious discussion....
I'd like to have Aaron Rodgers as our QB, and o'yeah, I wouldn't mind having Adrian Peterson as our starting RB either.
Because they all serve a certain role on this offense. They are really good at what they do.
Benson pounds the D for a quarter or so, lossens them up a bit, and then Scott exhausts them tryign to keep up with his quick moves and speed. Then if we can get a lead, Benson just continues to pound on that beat up exhausted defense.
Leonard can do a little bit of everything, so on 3rd down, you don't know if he is goign to run it, catch it, or stay in and block. He is a dynamic threat on 3rd which allows the Bengals the versatility to do whatever they want.
You find 1 back that can do everything these 3 do, you are looking at an all-pro RB. (Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, Steven Jackson)
What's the Bengals record since the three of these guys have been on the roster? Hard to argue with proven results. LOL at defenses getting tired chasing Scott around. If Benson ran hard like he did in the second half yesterday every game, I would love him. Too bad he doesn't. :target:
You are allowed to hate our RB situation, but you are beating it to death. Everyone is well aware of your RB hatred of Benson and how NICE it would be to have an all-pro like Peterson, Jackson, Rice, ect. Fact is, we do not have any of those guys, and we have to deal with what we have. If you are going to have to have a RB by committee, this is the best possible scenerio instead of 3 guys that have the same skillset. This wide of a variety of skillset helps make this team better than 3 guys who are just ground and pound.
Would I like a better all around back so we do not have to have a RB by committee, specialists, ect? Hell yeah I would, who wouldn't? It just is not going to happen, so there is no point in f'n worrying about it. I think that is teh real point. Forget about the shit, and just root for the team that we have. Things are not going to change at least until the offseason.
