[CBFF] When do we get to see "Good Griese"?

[Jim Ferolie]

I'm beginning to see Benson a bit like Jerome Bettis. Anyone recall when he 
was traded away from the Rams? They switched to a spread offense and he 
became almost worthless after carrying the load for the first couple years. 
Then he went back to a power team, Pittsburgh, and thrived.

If you watched Benson's long run, he was not slow. But he doesn't start 
fast. Like "The Bus." I don't know that he's quite as strong or as good, but 
he's not being used the ideal way AT ALL. They're giving him counter plays. 
Come on.

How can we possibly know whether he's a good back? It's like if Moose was 
sent on fly routes or Berrian was in the slot doing inside patterns. They 
keep sticking a square peg in a round hole.
