I agree but I went for the all or nothing poll based on performance.
Remember, this is only a measure until this point and things can change quick.

Didn't want to do the "all of the above" answer....

If I had to pick only one, I'd say Cadet, although I love Ivory.

1-dimensional power backs like Ivory are a dime a dozen, but they're often injured and don't last long (reference Marion Barber).

Multi-skilled backs like Cadet don't come along as often and they fit our multi-dimensional offense better than Ivory ever could.

Its a very close call but I'd give the edge to Cadet, since he also plays 4 special teams units. He's 3 or 4 roster spots all in one player.

Ivory has kind of looked confused on what hole to hit when he gets the ball. It could be he's re-adjusting to being back there, could be no blocking formations. So far Cadet has been impressive, but I always root for Ivory and hope we keep both. Cadet vs. Ivory and Cadet has been the more impressive to this point.
