[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 233762, member: 216"] Other teams do this too with great players - Brown and Williams, Gurley and Marshall, Chubb and Michel. Alabama, Clemson, FSU, etc often have their committees of 5*'s. The advantages of this is that it keeps guys fresh, injury at the position doesn't deflate the offense, keeps more guys happy and team moral up when more people contribute (fewer transfers/attrition), spurs healthy-friendly competition. I think what you might be saying is that if we have a guy who is a bit more talented than the others, then you want him to get the biggest percentage of the carries accordingly - and I don't think anyone would argue with that at all. If we have one major hoss and then 4 others who are sub-par, then I hope the hoss gets 80% of the carries. What I would disagree about is that we have to have a guy who is much better than all of the others in order to be successful - and the Days/Laskey example proves this. Neither of them was quite Dwyer-level talent, but both had the goods for what the BBack position thrives on - power, balance, vision, and knowledge (and let's not neglect ball-security unless we want good stats despite losses).
