[QUOTE="GreenBaySlacker, post: 773037, member: 9780"] Solid logic.....but I will respectfully disagree. The exception to the rule are those rare rbs that can put a team on their shoulders, and win. Barry Sanders, Adrian Peterson, ladanian Tomlinson, Steven Jackson..... and the tier right below them that slice and dice you just the same in less dramatic fashion, like Lavean bell, beast mode, priest Holmes/Larry Johnson/ Jamal Charles all had their moments in time. Among many others... but only a hand full in the league at a time, have a rb who forces teams to commit to stopping him... And that's the point. We already have #12... they can't commit chiz to stopping chiz with #12 spreading the ball around. You give GB a running back who can capitalize on that fact, and this offense will literally be unstoppable... I like our rb trio... don't get me wrong. But I heard Barkley compared to ladanian Tomlinson... now just think for a second, how good would #12 be with L.T. in the back field? Visa versa... I'm not sure how a player who touches the ball 10-15-20-25+ times a game. Lost value in this league? But I'd be going against the grain on that trend, for sure. [/QUOTE]
