True enough that Selvin Young had a nice run, but he also averaged 3.8 yards per carry last night. Moreover, since Portis left Denver, exactly how many 1,500 yard rushers has Denver had? Zero. Since Portis left Denver, exactly how many Pro Bowlers has Denver had? Zero. Denver has gone through a whole host of backs in an attempt to find a feature back and guess what? Denver hasn't found a feature back. They had to sign a big name free agent in his late twenties with a drug problem to a big deal. So the idea that Denver can plug anyone into their system and he will become some huge stud is simply a myth.
