Well here's how it looks to me:Opposing defenses don't give a rat's backside what a RB stats say. If you've watched the Packers for the last few years you understand that very often our RBs would run to the line of scrimmage and go down. No positive yardage or a 1 or 2 yard gain. Sure, they'd break one now and again to up their average but how is that kind of running going to help you in the playoffs when all the teams are good.That regularity of positive yardage is why I like Benson. I don't think the Packers need Adrian Peterson. Besides, who do you suggest the Packers get that's better?Benson is better than any RB the Packers have had since Ryan Grants first couple of years. He is good at finding the holes. That to me is the biggest difference between him and our other RBs. He runs to the hole instead of into the backs of our OL and his power almost always gives us a couple of positive yards.</blockquote>
