He looked average at times when he was splitting carries with Hilliard, Ware and Ford.


I don't think so. Blue had almost 7 yards per carry in 2011 (highest on the team) and had a TD once every 10 touches (approximately). He played more in the second half so we can't be sure his production wasn't due to running back committee. However, we can be sure that he picked up right where he left off in 2012, and did that as the primary back. He again averaged nearly 7 ypc.

In 2012, Hill was the primary back for most of the season. His ypc is very good (5.3) though not as good as Blue's. However, Hill was a TD machine in 2012 though (12 TDs).

They are very different backs IMO, and both have good numbers. Idk why we are arguing about this, frankly.
