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.

You lose me when you bring up the Eagles OL in regard to Sanders, but are kinda overlooking the fact that the Colts had a Top 10 OL last year and Moss was JAG behind it.

At the end of the day, the Bengals are hoping a guy that was cut from his rookie deal and has had one year of RBBC level production behind a top OL can repeat that career high production and a 2nd year 5th round pick can take a massive leap.  Not to mention, pray neither of them get hurt because Williams and Evans are CFL level backs.
