Default Ladell Betts

I am sick and tired of Betts as our backup running back i think the skins should draft another running back with one of the middle round picks they have........does anyone feel the same way ?

Yes. I didn't like drafting him and I haven't liked much about him since he's been here. About the only thing I do like is that he's pretty cheap but there are any number of other RB I would rather have back there.

Q: What's a change of pace back?
A: A backup RB that does roughly the same things as your starter, only slower and not as well -- Vinny Cerrato

In spirit yes that's fixed, but I think IBB could teach you a thing or two about grammar, specifically the verb "to be" ... it's a tough one for sure

I agree with you on your thoughts, but since we don't have that many draft picks I would say that this needs to wait until next year or via FA.

We need a younger and different type of RB than Betts. I'm surprised that they haven't worked FA better to get some competition for TC.
