I would hope that even the most anti-Hill guys realize that he's at least a decent NFL RB. Somewhere around starting caliber...which automatically makes him better than Rex. I like Burkhead, but he's not a future star. He's more like a future Brian Leonard - and no the comparison isn't race related. I just view Rex as a guy who will contribute in a similar fashion. A jack of all trades, master of none type of back with moderate size and speed. A guy who can get you 50 touches a season with some good plays sprinkled in, but not a guy who is ever going to carry the pill 200 times.
Nothing wrong with that at all. It's great to have a guy like that. I get that he's the popular guy on the bench and Hill is a very unpopular player, but realistically, Hill is definitely the better back.
