A lot of talents never get to show there true talent because they never get the same fair shake as some.Its no secret if it wasn't for injuries Burfict would probably never got his chance to shine .Burkhead was undervalued here.That happens when yout draft 2 running backs high.Hill could have continued to stink it up but Burkhead would have never gotten his fair shake because Marvin has to justify why Hill is a second round pick.
I understand your thought process here, but I just don't know that I can fully agree with you. I'm sure they do a fair evaluation of all their players. I think it's very apparent that the Bengals don't care what the fans think. They are trying to build a winning football team the way they do it. So with that said, I'm more than sure they saw Burkhead in practices and never thought he should be starting in front of Hill. Hill has been trash and I'm ready to move on from him, but even if Burkhead does well in NE it doesn't prove that he is better than Hill. Everyone in NE is used to their strengths. They just do not misuse guys. If they see a weakness in an opposing defense that Burkhead can exploit, they will use him the entire game. He might get 3 touches the next week. You know what I'm saying?
