    Folks he was never going to be Lev Bell, but he can get you 700 yds a season. Along with Benny Snell's
    700 you have a pretty good rb position.

    Conner is a good RB he is more of a in space type of runner and above average pass catcher for a RB.. He has more value against Defenses built on power ..Snell is more of the power RB and can punish tacklers ,not sure about his pass catching yet..His style works best against Defenses built on speed...

    The Denver Defense is Speed based as such Snell will be more effective ..I just hope Coach Tomlin knows to give Snell more looks than Conner ...

    The rap giant is injured. Again.

    I like Conner and feel when he is healthy he is a good running back. But health has always been the issue and right out of the gate he gets niked up.

    Snell has earned more time with quality snaps and will split time with Conner today. Is Conner done. No. But I do feel this will be his last season in Pittsburgh.

    I saw whit "I" thought was despair in Connor's face Monday night after he got injured. I hope the guy can put a few great games together to give him back his swagger!​

    No Running back is worth the money they are seeking, It is just not feasible,
    Titans have paid Derek Henry too much money. There are only a few positions
    in football that are worth paying for and RB isn't one of them.

    The RB position is not as valuable as it used to be , so the only type of RB to pay huge money is a true 3 down RB .The Panthers have a guy who is worth good money but he is the only 1 IMO...

    Seems the days of durable tough running backs are over.

    Snell should be our man carrying the load right. I don't mind the thought of having Connor as a solid backup Snell. Keeps connors carries and injuries down and he might play better with a chip on his shoulder.

    Connor won’t thrive running shotgun draws.

    Look what he did when Ben was under center!

    He can not. He looks terrible. And is playing terrible.

    Hasn't been able to the first 2 games except the bomb, can you imagine how explosive our offense
    could be if he could hit these receivers in stride? LOL

    I don't think those days ever existed. We tend to remember the remarkable exceptions like Emmitt Smith or Adrian Peterson, because they're...well...memorable. We tend to forget all the guys who looked like beasts for a bit, and then were hurt and never heard from again or at least became suddenly mediocre. That list is very long. It's exactly why it's dumb to invest big money or very high picks on RB's.

    Boneheaded decision making lost some rust Sunday. Good to see Ben getting his mojo back, plays better after a mistake.

    He's been off for a year, of course there will be some rust, I guess you forgot how bad the offense was after he got injured last year.
