Yeah, he's only a good number 2 RB. It was a good combo with T Jones last year.
The problem is he's a North/South runner. He has no moves. He can only be effective with a very good offensive line and this year, da bears o-line hasn't played that great.
I hated this decision to get rid of Jones. It was purely a decision based on business - Benson was the number 4 overall draft pick a few years ago, they gave him a lot of money. Management didn't want to see someone get so much money as a number 2 back. So, Thomas Jones was asking for more money, which he deserved, problem was he's 29 or 30. Out goes Jones, Benson starts, bears are 3-4.
