I'm not entirely sure that's fair.  Many would have called Jones a bust at a
similar period (8th overall pick or something like that?).

In terms of production, I think this is a place where statistics can really
be misleading.  I can watch them both and tell you which is running better.

I will say that I'm just a little worried about Benson based upon the
preseason.  He didn't seem to have the vision that he had last year.  But,
hey, it's the preseason.  I'd like to see him for a game or two before
passing judgment.  Even then, I wouldn't judge him a bust for a long while -
more than one season.  Especially given that I thought he looked good last
year.  Admittedly as a contrast to Jones' running style.  But good
nevertheless.
