To me, it looks more like "fresh legs syndrome".  Where the guy coming off the bench looks fresh and strong, as he hasn't endured an entire season of getting his body beat to a pulp, week after week.

Heck, we experienced the same phenomenon last year at the RB position, with Rex Burkhead.  Then, when the Patriots signed him, everyone claimed he was now going to be a superstar.  He's had an alright season, for a team that knows how to get the most out of it's talent.  He leads the league, or even conference in no categories.  Much tougher to be The Man, than to be the man off the bench.

Yeah let's not put a lot of stock into our backups moving guys better then our starters,it would ruin the narrative that the better players play around here. Disregard Dave lapham too.
