No, I'm with you on this one. Could have certainly saved the money on him if we weren't going to lose him.
There's absolutely no reason to think Rock couldn't carry the ball 5 times a game. Then again, I'm thinking Betts is only here as an insurance policy for Portis, rather than a legitimate 2nd RB.
