    Cedric Benson

    Just got released. As a Bears fan this ****es me off and makes me happy all at the same time.

    Jerry Jones will be calling in a few minutes.

    meanwhile up in the area of the Meadowlands, Thomas Jones is laughing his *** off.

    I still don't see how they ever thought Benson was better then Jones skill wise. Benson reminds me of a lazy Carmelo Anthony playing football.

    Simply put, Benson is much younger than Jones. Jones is the better back though. Now, I dunno what were gonna do there.

    Re: Cedric Benson

    How much was his release based on his troubles...

    ...and how much because he sucked?

    well they better move fast if they want LaMont Jordan otherwise they're going to either have to sign Shaun Alexander or ride on the shoulders of Garrett Wolfe and the other Adrian Peterson.

    If Garrett Wolfe has to touch the ball 10-15 times a game, he will literally get killed.

    Garrett Wolfe is more suited to being a 3rd down back, but he could end up surprising everyone.

    I agree completely, I was ****ed the day we drafted him. Not only was I not all that impressed with him as a person, he never put up big numbers in big games.

    We really need to pick up a free agent RB though and I'm not sure we have many good options left.
