Quote:No, you're using a severe hyperbole to skew the point. People think that Moreno is not as good as Edgerrin James or even Adrian Peterson. They are saying that because when he was without Manning, he was not producing at a high level, and he was often injured. Also, he was benched I believe at some point in his career for lack of production. It's not that he sucks, it's that I -we- believe this increased performance that he has seen this year is due to the fact of a rare, once-in-a-lifetime talent playing Quarterback for the team that he plays for.

 

Adrian Peterson produced a 2,000 yard career without Manning; The best Moreno has done wasn't even 1,000 yards without Manning.

 

Also, don't you dare insinuate that I am illiterate. I can read very well, and I worked very hard to develop that ability.

 

Actually Moreno was not really benched, just made the #2 guy in their running back committee. They benched Ball, then Hillman, in 2013. They never benched Moreno. I know earlier in his career he was not the starter, but he did play a lot even when he was a backup on the depth chart. My question is this: If Moreno is just benefiting from Manning how did the coaches decide he is better than Ball and Hillman and give him most of the carries? He must be better than those two guys to get more than 50% of the carries in every game this season. He must be the best of Denver's three running backs to run a lot more than Ball and Hillman did. He may not be very good, but the claim he is just a beneficiary of Manning makes no sense because he was never in danger of losing the starting job even after Ball fixed his fumbling problem.

 

I know you can read. It is just very frustrating when people misinterpret my statements so badly their responses imply they don't. I wish everybody would read the way I do and respond accordingly so I can see they understand what I am saying.
