The "starter" should be determined strategically, not as a reward.

I kind of like starting Pierre, and letting Bell come in mid 3rd quarter when the defense is tired. Bell has a quick lateral step that leaves tired defenders grasping air. But,,, Pierre breaks arm tackles, so he's good against a tired defense too.

the starter is almost always the better player and almost always gets more touches.....they are expected to get the most yardage and get the clutch yardage

when people look at the saints team you cant honestly pick out a better running back between bell, PT, and bush

there is really no right or wrong answer so the idea of a "starter" is meaningless

this is the same type of thing people were saying about "every down backs"......we are changing the definition of starter just like we changed the idea of an every down back
