Trade Burkhead?

Leonard was more of a Half Back/Full Back hybrid. He had a lot of heart and a leap but Burkhead is a lot different
in my honest opinion cause he is a much better runner when given the chance and is much quicker. Brian Leonard
might be overrated by some but i think that is cause he willed us to wins and the one against Pitt stands out.
 Burkhead is way more verstatile than Leonard cause he can play the Slot with his quicks and hands.
 
Ugh...

I almost put "and not because they're both white" in my post, but I was hoping people would be mature enough to realize that's not why I was comparing them. I honestly disagree that Leonard was some kind of FB hybrid (how often did Leonard lead block?). He was a RB.

Like I said in my post, they've both been used sparingly (Burkhead is used even less than Leonard thus far). Both solid pass catchers. Similar size. Similar upside (IMO). Both recent Bengals. I often make fun of lazy race comparisons, but just because 2 players are white doesn't automatically make it silly to compare them. I guess we just disagree on how similar they are.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
