Yeah, and he was a lot more valuable per play in 2006 than in 2007.

I'm assuming that if he had not broke his hand in 2006, his season would look a lot better than this past season on paper.

Anyway, the point is that if instead of being the character guy he is, if he had gotten arrested twice this offseason, we might have released CP instead of given him an extension. That is to say that Benson's character issues derailed his career way faster than his poor play did.

It wasn't a particually strong comparison, just a "what if Benson was on the Redskins" sort of thing.
