OK, I am done defending Benson. Add me to the list of folks who think he sucks at a level of suckiness that has never before been sucked.Is there any starting RBs in the league that look worse than this bum? The Bears finally learned to admit their mistake with Grossman, I wouldn't be surprised if this bum is about done being the starting RB in Chicago. Over/Under I'll go with 1 more week of craptastic play from this bum.

I had the same thoughts going into the season, but the entire team has fallen apart, mainly due to injuries on the o-line & whole defense.yep. benson looks horrible, but so does the o-line...and ron turner is an idiot. benson and tom jones both averaged > 4 yds per carry last year. obviously something has changed in 2007.
Peterson is nursing a calf injury, Wolfe is way too small to be an every down back. If there is a change it would be to Peterson.
They showed a ton of patience with Grossman, I dont think they bench Benson either. Benson was mediocre when they drafted him and has devolved into a horrible player, but I think they stick with him all year.Da Bears are toast.
A currently injured WR and a RB coming back from suspension and joining one of the league's top producers in the backfield? I'd hold.
Oh, I am not taking the offer. I just thought I would let you all know it was on the table.Like I say, I have considered countering with Andre Johnson and Rhodes for Benson (and possibly Evans) but I am undecided on that one yet.This was just to show that someone thinks Benson has a little value. No matter how small and pathetic that value is.
best post of the entire thread . . .
that's pretty insulting in a redraft. why would you trade a starter for a backup, at any position?I'm desperate for a RB in one of my leagues (Maroney is killing me) and I offered the Benson owner Michael Turner for him, since that owner also owns LT2. He was insulted by my offer.
who would trade a starter for a backup?that guy may never trade with you again. ridiculous offer.I'm desperate for a RB in one of my leagues (Maroney is killing me) and I offered the Benson owner Michael Turner for him, since that owner also owns LT2. He was insulted by my offer.
In a dynasty Benson is nt even worth Turner .who would trade a starter for a backup?that guy may never trade with you again. ridiculous offer.I'm desperate for a RB in one of my leagues (Maroney is killing me) and I offered the Benson owner Michael Turner for him, since that owner also owns LT2.

I haven't seen anyone say Chicago's offensive woes are soley because of Benson, and I've seen even fewer say Benson should be benched for Peterson or Wolfe. However, the fact that some maintain it's all the offensive line's fault is merely a cop out. Last year, it was because he wasn't given the opportunity to be the full-time starter. This year, it's the offensive line's fault. Is anything ever Benson's fault? If you're going to take that approach, you could blame anyone's bad performance on another part of the team, just so you don't have to admit you were wrong. Benson is as much to blame as the offensive line.Benson hasn't played well but the offensive line has been much worse.
true, but Benson barely fits the definition of "starter".that's pretty insulting in a redraft. why would you trade a starter for a backup, at any position?I'm desperate for a RB in one of my leagues (Maroney is killing me) and I offered the Benson owner Michael Turner for him, since that owner also owns LT2.

definitely in my favor - i was trying to play up Turner's value since the guy owned LT. If/when Benson loses the job, Turner becomes more valuable.who would trade a starter for a backup?that guy may never trade with you again. ridiculous offer.I'm desperate for a RB in one of my leagues (Maroney is killing me) and I offered the Benson owner Michael Turner for him, since that owner also owns LT2.

Turner fits no definition of "starter".That seems like an absurd offer to me no matter how pathetic Benson is at the moment.true, but Benson barely fits the definition of "starter".that's pretty insulting in a redraft. why would you trade a starter for a backup, at any position?I'm desperate for a RB in one of my leagues (Maroney is killing me) and I offered the Benson owner Michael Turner for him, since that owner also owns LT2.

Benson is getting at least 20 carries a game. Would make no sense to trade him for Turner.true, but Benson barely fits the definition of "starter".that's pretty insulting in a redraft. why would you trade a starter for a backup, at any position?I'm desperate for a RB in one of my leagues (Maroney is killing me) and I offered the Benson owner Michael Turner for him, since that owner also owns LT2.

I may come in a close second. Thought he stunk the first time I watched him play in a Bears uniform. Monster bust for Da Bears.I think i've been the most adamant about Benson sucking eggs. Props to me.

And zero holes opened.
Are you watching the games? He has holes. He just chooses to run up the back side of the nearest offensive lineman and then fall down.And zero holes opened.
