Imagine jumping into a thread celebrating a good game by local favorite Skat to crap on people who like him, and talk up Benson. Weird energy.
Yea, I like to talk up players on my own team who are still relatively new. Also, he’s not my local favorite so why should that concern me?

Go continue your back & forth argumentative shtick with 602 Native.

He's the complete opposite of KM and Marv -- grit and toughness.

If he had mediocre stats you'd be calling him a bust by now. It goes both ways.
You don’t know what the hell I would be doing.

I’m not crowning nor downplaying anyone after 3 games in their career.

Start a Benson thread and talk about him over there. This is literally a thread dedicated to Cam Skattebo.

You can't be serious. Can you relax?

How about you apply this to the folks who actually brought up Benson in this literal thread dedicated to Cam Skattebo.

Do not throw shots at me next time then.

After 3 games? 3.
lol… you have eyes. You can usually tell if someone looks like a mascot or if they look like they at least belong in the league.

Not that I’d expect you to ever admit you’re wrong, especially here when you acted like such a laughable tool about the subject earlier this year.

Where & when did I say he would look like a mascot? You have eyes as well, so I want you to tell me where I said that.

This is your go-to. You never show evidence of this & when I call you out on it, you go hide.

You know you always end up looking foolish when you come at me so I have no clue why you continue to do it. Respect.

I was bummed we didn’t take him, but I understood considering the current regimes belief in benson.

Benson seems like a boom or bust rb. Will muddy along for 2.5 yards/carry and then break off a 35 yard run to make a day look adequate. I hope that changes. But I see us missing a lot of the yards Conner would bring.

Skat looks like he’s got “it.” And it seems what he brought at high school and collegiate level is translating to the League. That said, I also question his longevity. These are now men. Big men. Those collisions are going to add up eventually. And he seeks them out.

I love Conner but I think people are missing both guys this year are doing the 2.5 YPC thing. For the season 32 carries 95 yards for Conner. if we take away the 2 big runs from Benson yes his average falls from 6 YPC to about 2.4 YPC. If you take the 2 best runs from Conner away, 12 and 9 surprise, he's averaging 2.4 ypc as well.

Conner gets the tough yards when we need him and is the consummate team guy, he will enormously missed, but the problems in the run game this year IMO are on the OL not the RB's.

Skatt had a great game love to see him doing well I will say this, that injury probably means Wilson stays the QB starter longer because now Cam figures to get the bulk of RB1 opportunity and that means they're less likely to also go with a rookie QB IMO.

Conner is sadly done as a lead back in this league. He was not the same in the 2nd half last year and looks the same this year. He'll power through a couple of tackles but his speed and quickness aren't the same. I really hope they have a plan to move on next year. Benson certainly doesn't look like an every down back at this point.
