French, it appears (on TV anyway) that Sam Rodgers may the the most effective back of the 4 that we saw Monday night. Especially when you consider that he runs well, catches well and pass protects well. I know we might not think about considering him as an "elite athlete", but he is very good at all the things you need a RB to do.
Is his success a result of packages and play design or is he simply doing a better job (from a consistency standpoint) than the other backs?

Guys I think Rogers is a heady hard nosed football player too, but to think he is a better RB than most of the others based on a couple plays is just not true. He is currently not keyed on and thus not expected to carry the ball. I doubt the coaches think he is an every down option , if they did he would be the guy. It's not like there is a clear cut number 1, although I believe Shai will be that once healthy. Sam great asset but primary ball carrier he is not.
