Quit selling out duo short folks.
Well, if you asked which team was the best at having a guy that had these very narrow and specific stats of rushing for 1,000 yards with 5 YPC and another guy that had 300 yards receiving and 10 yards per catch while ignoring everything else, then I'd definitely have said the Bengals!
Unfortunately, your thread asked our opinion on which team has the overall best duo.
Some people look at the big picture and realize that Demarco Murray rushed for more yards than entire teams combined (20 different teams, to be exact).
Some people may look at the fact that Le'Veon Bell had 2,251 yards from scrimmage, which is only 117 yards less than Jeremy Hill......AND Gio Bernard combined. Pitt also added a guy that has proven to be a capable NFL starter to be their vet backup.
Some people may look at more than just very narrow stats to reach the conclusion that they WANT to reach. I'm sure more people are capable of spinning stats if that's the route you'd like to take.
I don't know if 78% of people thinking they're top 5 and literally 0 people voting out of the top 10 is "selling our duo short". Seems pretty fair to everybody else.
