Just because it doesn't work doesn't mean it's not the right process. | ||

I know it's true but it's a poor consolation for the fat dump Marshall and McCoy left on my chest this week. | ||

I don't know how you can say Bradshaw doesn't start when he gets half the touches, and has been capitalizing in three straight games now. I agree, I wouldn't bench Forte for Bradshaw, what were your other options? Someone should probably get benched for Bradshaw considering you probably drafted him low or picked him up off the waiver wire, but it shouldn't be your first round pick. Meanwhile, I'm riding Murray/Bradshaw/Spiller all the way to the bank. | ||

I was pretty sold on Bradshaw. The only lineup change i was close to considering prior the lineups locking was subbing in Sproles for Forte. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Oy3NFGV.png) | ||

Don't get me wrong, I really like Bradshaw, mostly because Trent "2.0 YPC lol" Richardson, but benching him for a guy who's a proven stud who has zero competition in his backfield is madness, regardless of his matchup. | ||

Yeah no I agree with not benching Forte, and afterwards I saw his other two options were Bernard and Sproles. I would definitely bench one of those guys for Bradshaw, probably Bernard since Sproles has so much upside. | ||

That's fair. Just not Forte. On September 24 2014 07:05 URfavHO wrote: A decent chunk of Bernard's points come through the air. That's my point. He hasn't run well and he's still great. | ||

Weird I remember the same injury argument with Forte the past 2 seasons. That's irrelevent neither is currently injured. The problem I see here is you're willing to start a RB because of his name and draft status instead of what the fact he's playing against a good run stopping defense and has been playing worse than someone who went in the 15th. | ||

Yes, I'm wiling to do it when it's only Week 3 we're looking at. If this persists and we're in Week 7, then I'm taking a longer look at it. But now, I'm not going to overreact to such a small number of games. If I had taken Forte and had this decision to make, I know I took him for a very sound reason and wouldn't lose sleep that playing him didn't work out. | ||
