The pass blocking difference between Bernard and the other RBs on the roster really isn't as big as people are making it out to be.
But let's look at Bernard's total yards per game average in 2020 - 48.19 (48th amongst RBs). He's only had a 4.0 or better rush YPG in four of his eight seasons.

So he's really not a "triple specialty" guy. He's a solid pass catcher, a good pass blocker, and not good rusher.
If you want a guy who can catch passes and pass block, why not just get a cheap FB/H-B?
