Car-Miles Sanders had a down year last year, but had 1200+ yards, double digit TD's, and a 4.9 ypc the previous year.

DEN-Williams had 900+ yards when healthy as a rookie.  Perine is more proven than Brown.  McLaughlin averaged 5.4 YPC last year.

Hou-Mixon, for all his faults, is a proven 1k bellcow.  Pierce had 900+ yards as the feature back as a rookie.

LAC-Edwards has had 4 700+ yard seasons to 1 for Moss.  Dobbins can be a 1k back if healthy.

NOS-Kamara is an elite receiving back and Williams is a year removed from a 1k yard season where he led the league in rushing TD's.

Moss has had one decent year and Brown a handful of impressive plays.  Williams is a liability as a position player and Evans makes exactly one play a year.

You sure are giving a lot of benefit of the doubt to a lot of just guys. Kamara and Williams both were awful last year. Go look at advanced metrics, don’t be surprised if their 3rd back usurps both of them.

Dobbins has never been healthy… we talk about tees availability here… but dobbins is on another level. I’d wager a lot of money with you that dobbins will never have another 1k yard season. Gus Edward’s has been in the league a few years longer and he is ok, but you can’t tell me he is “easily” better.

We got rid of Mixon for moss. That tells me everything I need to know about how the bengals feel about that. Pierce averaged under 3 yards per carry last year and lost his job to Devin Singletary. Yea…

Since his injury, Javonte Williams plummeted in YPC to 3.7. Maybe he is bettter having more time from ACL, but not everyone is Adrian Peterson. Perine is just a guy, you know that.

Miles sanders looked great behind the eagles OL, so does everyone (see swift). He isn’t even slated to be their RB1

James Conner is up there in age and again, just a guy.

I’m not saying that our backfield is even average, but they are not “easily” a top 5 bad RB room. They can arguably be one, which is why we are having the conversation.
