Benson predictions?

How good do you think he will be this season? I have very high expectations for him.
I think Lovie is going to ride the hell out of him after limiting his carries for the past 2 years.
I also think he will make the offense MUCH better. TJ often would lose yards and put Rex & co. in tough 3rd and longs. Benson is always going forward and rarely loses yards. With the addition of Olsen I think the 3rd down offense will be MUCH MUCH better and the Bears will be able to move the chains more efficiently. The offense will not have many 3 and outs & will actually make the defense better by giving them a breather which they really haven't had the past 2 seasons.
Anyways - my Benson prediction:
335 carries - 1475 yards - 16 tds - 4.4avg

If healthy, yeah, I give him 1500 yards, and over 4.5.

Exactly, and he has way more talent than Thomas Jones. It's just Jones had a better work approach and did not get hurt as much.

A shade under 1,400 yards at 4.2 per carry and 16 TD's. "Experts" will then claim they said getting rid of Thomas Jones was a good move from the beginning.

Are you both serious?
250 carries? He got 160 last year and really barely ever played.
& He had 6 TDs as well.

As Darth said, he has to stay healthy. I think he will get somewhere around 1,700 yards and maybe 10-12 TD's.
That isn't a bad year.

I agree with most of you. If Cedric stays healthy and plays in 14+ games I see him with over 1,500 yards and 10-13 TD's
It will be a successful season for his first has the primary back.
He'll definitely be one of those backs that gets stronger as the game goes on.

I agree with that. I bet he'll have some days he just doesn't have a good game, albeit probably hurting.

I'd be really surprised if he only got 250 carries. AP really shouldn't play all that much and Wolfe should only play as a third down back. Benson is going to be a workhorse.
