Because none of them alone are elite names, we just get it done by commitee with each back having different strenths. In the real world we are alot better than 14th

I disagree!!

Darren Sproles was failry 'elite' before he came to the Saints. Several sportswriters have written that Sproles was the main reason the Chargers were having any success after Brees left.

And Sproles is certainly considered 'elite' now after the record-breaking seasom he had last year!

None are elite RB's.

They are role players. Some even have a history of not staying health for a season so that is another reason we have to carry some extra's.

How many RBs in the league DON'T have a history of not staying healthy?

Considering the punishment they take over a 16 game season, it is easy to understand why so many are walking cripples afterthey retire.

Ricky Williams seemed to have an ankle spain the entire time he was with the Saints, but we didn't have 4 RBS like we have now on the roster then lie we do now.

656, look at the article that you posted.

It's a FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE AND ARTICLE!

It's not about RB tandems in the NFL.

It's about RB tandems in FANTASY FOOTBALL!

Fantasy pts, not real stats is the focus.

The "writer" is a fantasy guru. He is an NFL dummy!
