Ford should be starting. Thoughts?

Watching the game over tonight, Ford has a lil better burst and thus hits the hole faster. I would like to see Ford get a few starts/more carries just to see the outcome.
I can see Ford has improved as the season has progressed.

Ware is a better overall running back.

You don't block, you don't start.

Ware looked better Thursday and Ford can't block. He is however a great counter to Ware's bullish style.

He is a good change of pace back. He is better with a worn down defense anyway. I have no problem with how it is set up right now because they get near same # of touches and they both are a different pace for our offense.

He's going to get his touches. if he breaks for a long one now and then, he will 'demand' more touches by his success.

one of the most important skills a back can have imo. it will separate you from the next guy, which is evident in our situation.

Don't fix it if it aint broke.

Ford is a terrible blocker. I now completely understand why he didnt play more last year. When Ford is in it is almost always a screen to him or a handoff. They know better than to have him trying to block a blitzer.

I guess there's no need for me to chime in here. You boys seem to have this covered.

From the first three games you know when Jarrett sees Ford running in from the sideline he's gotta be like damn, this better be an f'ing run.
Dude has caused nearly all of our sacks.

I like it 50/50 or whichever has got the hot hand... Doesnt really matter who gets the first snap.

Ford isn't good at blocking
but people are acting like ware is good or something
newsflash: neither are good at blocking

Both are good...no need for these rantards to bash one of them just to prove that their favorite should be the starter.
I like the way the coaching staff is using them.

How hard is it to pick up a guy running at you? I am no running back but damn.
I also think ford needs to learn how to catch better. He also needs more pitches to the outside.

Honestly, it seems to change each game.
