Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 1046947, member: 297"] I numbered some stuff in your post. 1. Like Symphony said, running backs have a short shelf life, and I think the NFL's preference is to use them a bit more interchangeably. They're hesitant to draft RBs with high draft selections, and proven running backs don't fair particularly well in free agency. The NFL has shown that if you're good, they'll find you. I don't have any concern about our ability to recruit running backs. 2. I'm not sure your second point is true. 3. Some players are suited to different situations. Other teams capitalize on that. We're in position to do the same. We have so far to go to be a good offense that we'll need contributions from all kinds of guys in all kinds of situations. McFarlane, Morris, PTG and AAM can all bring something. Let's use it all. FWIW, I think both McFarlane and Morris will prove to be better running backs than we've had in a long time. [/QUOTE]
