TJ will return as the starter, almost certainly.Benson hasn't gotten his chance simply because Jones played at a Pro Bowl level.
Not good, unfortunately. I have him, myself. :( It's going to take Thomas Jones remembering he's Thomas Jones (or a TJ injury) in order for Ced to see the field. Even then, there is no guarantee he will be any good.
(or backup to to become a #1 fantasy RB).Jones will almost certainly start next year. Like others have mentioned, all it takes is a Jones' injury & he may never see the starting job again.Benson owners will just have to be patient. Johnson owners had to wait almost 2 seasons for him to show what he can do.
My pick for 'the next Larry Johnson'

It is only a matter of time. Cedric Benson will see his chance and make the most of it.
Lest we forget that Cedric Benson also hasn't gotten his chance because of his attitude, blocking ability, and unwillingness to play dinged, week 17 being a prime example. I seem to remember several times last year where Adrian Peterson got the nod because of a hurt Thomas Jones for those reasons.This is not to say that Cedric Benson won't get his chance, am I just of the opinion that it will later than most seem to think.
I respectfully disagree.. Bears ownership is CHEAP..they aren't paying benson, what, $30 mil , to sit on his fanny..he's actually done fairly well as a rookie..remember, SA did nothing in his first year, while LJ did little in each his first TWO years, Priest Holmes was a nobody in Baltimore, Ahman Green did nothing in each of his first two seasons in Seattle, and didn't become a decent rb until he got traded to GB in his third year, Deuce McAllister ran for a paltry 91 yards his rookie season, Thurman Thomas ran for only 881 yards his first year, Emmitt Smith averaged 3.9 per carry his rookie season, then came back the following year to average 4.3 per carry,TJ did nothing in each of his first 5 years & he's played on 3 teams different already..Benson , in limited duty this year, has averaged 4.1 yards/carry..not bad considering he didnt practice until the final week of the preseason..
