GFY ****. I prefer Hill by a long shot but whatever. Why do you think Blue is so great?

Mainly bc he's hurt often. Hard to tell over time. Hill is a proven game changer.

He got hurt once. Is getting arrested better than getting hurt?

He's also a proven criminal charge collector.

When has he looked average?


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

Are there any Browns/Bengals players in the house to answer this?

40 carries for 270 yards as the starter last year. Thats not average. He was the starter for Game 1, but i'm sure the rant knows more than the coaches.

How does one injury make a guy injury prone?

It's because people are stupid.

I like Blue as much as the next guy and if he leads the backs this year then great. But I'm not ready to say Blue is better than Hill or vice versa. They've only been active on the same roster for two games. No way to tell.

Is there not a incoming Frosh we can look at down the line at RB?. Don't really have a name but with all the talent in BR, seems like someone should make a decent no. 4 RB.

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.

I don't like to beat a dead horse but damn we should have taken Adam Taylor.
