If Chargers can get a 1st & 3rd for Turner, don't we have to shop Betts?

I know the 2-back system is gaining popularity, but no team with a RB as good as Portis has such a system. Most teams with a 2-back system have 2 mediocre RBs who can't carry the load by themselves. Moreover, the teams that did have two quality backs last season, are turning to a feature back system. The Bears let go of Jones, Rhodes might not return to the Colts, Dillon is done with the Pats, and Barber is done with the Giants. So, I honestly think the 2-back system is a flash in the pan fad that gained popularity with the Bears-Colts SB, but one that will fade in time.

I think people talking about it will fade w/time. IN reality it's nothing new. Until sometime in the 80s, fullbacks used to run the ball regularly & a lot of teams had a 3rd down back. Now the fullbacks mainly block, but teams give the extra carries to the 2nd string rb.

I"m glad we have 2 tough backs, just hope that Betts won't fumble at crucial times like late last year.
