But I'm not going to argue your core point.LT are straigt starter and backup. Give Turner more than a third of the carries and we'll talk.

I have no problem with discounting a RB tandem when one guy is doing 75% of the work, but they need to at least be consistant with it.

Im sorry, in no way does Ladell Betts measure up to Deuce McCallister. First off, he really is a team leader. Second of all, he's better. Third of all, he carried them in the playoffs. You think Betts could do that?Lastly, Portis is not >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> then Bush. He is better, but give Bush just as many years as Portis, and you won't so that any more. Plus, a running back tandem needs to actually not have the really good back be hurt all year.

The only ones fully successful are the ones with a good offensive line (Portis only had like 1500 yards in the 2006 season).
