[QUOTE="de_real_deal, post: 171408, member: 870"] I agree with the article in that Morency & Jackson havent really proved much in their careers but im of the opinion that running backs are a dime a dozen anyway. The talent difference isnt all that great unless you have one of the 2 or 3 elite guys in the league. Speaking of that, what has Larry Johnson, Stephen Jackson & LT done this year. Not much even though they are "elite" and "high priced". The offensive line is where the running game is made. L.T. isnt getting 5 yards per carry on the Packers team and neither is LJ or Michael Turner. What hapened to Edgerin James when he went from the Colts to the Cardinals. All of a sudden he was "old" "past his prime" "should retire". A running game depends on so many variables that the "running back" in most cases is irrelevant. You need blocking from 5 offensive lineman, a tight end, fullback, complementary passing threat, a good defense to keep you in games so that you can keep running the ball. So maybe we might need to make a trade, but its not for a running back. [/QUOTE]
