I'll take it!  When you combine that with the skills and experience of Andy Dalton and our passing game, along with 4/5 of an awesome OL, our offense should be rather formidable this year.

Not with the running back who has yet to complete a game against us the last two years.

Bell can't seem to stay healthy. I'm sure that knocks them down a few notches.

I absolutely love our backfield. There's really so much to like about it. You have a thunder and lightening dynamic. You have great depth. You have youth. You have the value that comes with rookie contracts. And, yet you have plenty enough of experience.

Even if you remove one of the two backs, they each stand on their own. Jeremy Hill, based upon the production seen in his rookie year, given a full workload elsewhere, equates to a top 10 back. If you had a dynasty draft, he's probably top 5. And
Gio Bernard is a very unique and special talent. There's maybe 1 or 2 guys, total, in the entire league that give you what he does.

Honestly, I'm not sure I trade those two backs for anyone's backfield. And the shit that Jeremy Hill has gotten from some of the fanbase has reached plain stupid proportions. Suggesting trading him, while he's a on rookie deal at a 2nd round slot, is ridiculous. I know people need a scapegoat, because they sure shit don't want to put on Marvin, but people need to cool it a bit on Jeremy IMO.

This time last year some people were saying we should replace Gio.

Still not confident in Jeremy Hill, especially after that last playoff game.  I'm not sure we actually do have a backfield deserving of such a high ranking.

You'll be saying the same crap if it was the other way around.

I'm not sure anyone can be certain who Jeremy Hill is. Is he the guy from the second half of 2014 or is he the guy from all of 2015, because they looked like two different people. His yards per carry went from 5.1 down to 3.6. Even the yards per reception went from 8.0 to 5.3. This year will hopefully clear up the mystery.

Just give him 325 carries and 3/4 of our fanbase will think that's great production.  Look no further than Ced Benson for proof.  Guy got about 700 carries a year and averaged about 2.5 a carry and people thought he was just great.  And forget about rec averages, that turd sandwich couldn't catch a cold.

To be honest, I could care less.

As long as Jeremy Hill stops fumbling, I would agree with LT! haha
