Benson has put up 1000 yrds each of the last three seasons. I like the signing and think he can add a new dimension to the play action on first and second down. Teams know this guy is not a receiving back, if he is in the game look for the run. The Packers should be able to run a great play-action with Benson in the Back-field.
I see many in the thread comparing Grant to Benson and why was one signed over the other, and many point to the amount of money Benson will receive. I know Grant is still a free agent, and he tried out for the Patriots, but received know contract offer. I think Grant just can not play at a high level any more.
I'm glad Benson is on the Pack, and hope to see him really punish the Bears.
So if you meet me Have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll lay your soul to waste
