no worries man! things happen.
im a little surprised that the bears are giving up on benson already. he hasnt really had a chance to prove himself there, he's always been splitting time with someone... first jones, then peterson. It seemed to me that he finally started to get things going last year when he went down with that injury. but Charles probably would be a nice fit with benson who is the up the gut power runner of the two.. -
I am no doubt dissapointed how he has started off his pro career but he exaclty hasn't had the best supporting cast around him either. What people have to remember is that Bears rely heavily on the run due to QB troubles like us. They were hell of a running team with Thomas Jones and Benson during their SB run.
Coming into the year, Benson was appointed the starter by default because of the trade of Jones. Teams then expected the Bears to run heavily because 1. thats their offense gameplan, 2. they have a big bruising back.
His supporting cast isn't exaclty great either, the O line of that team has taken a step backward this past year. They shuffled three quarterbacks in a sixteen game season which is only heard of in Chicago. Plus to add insult, Cedric went down once again.
He was a high draft pick and I believe all players selected in the first two to three rounds shall get a change to prove themselves and I believe that he hasn't had that chance really.
I'm interested to see what will happen this year with him assuming they have a half decent QB playing and a good O line. I would expect him to hit 1100 yards this year, just my expectations.brandon27 likes this. -

but back then with the bears, with jones and benson, their o-line wasnt a concern. so it defiantely seems weird.

:sidelol: the LA kobes! haha nice
Going into that draft, I actually wanted benson instead of brown. Theyre very similar in style i think. But hopefully both can recover from their injuries last year and prove to the league and their fans why they were takin so high in the draft that year -
I also hope they can both prove their worth of that high draft choice because both men are very talented players that haven't exactly had things go their way unlike Burger King. I dont know man, I just dont want to see another talented player go down in shame especially one that I am a pretty big fan of. -
