None of the others are the same, other than Brandon Jacobs, and there's a reason why he splits carries. Hillis is a beast, but he is too physical for his own good. His shelf life is short, and I wouldn't touch him with a 3 year deal. I expected him to have one more productive year, but he may already be done with these lingering injuries.
What's even more laughable is you try to defend yourself from being a passive agressive pussy, yet you can't even respond to people in a direct manner. Lol at responding to someones post through somebody else. It's even funnier how you try and say you are going to ignore those certain people, yet you still respond to them. Next time you should PM lhslep and ask him to to type out your next response since you are such a coward. That's cute you have to hide behind somebody that finally shares your view in one simple disagreement.

Hillis' running style will make sure he won't ever last as a feature back in the NFL (as evidenced by Commander of CrybabyGinger's hilariously pathetic attempt to name similar running backs, and failing on every single one except Brandon Jacobs who has proven not to be a feature back).
But with Hardesty injured (shocker), and Hillis much more effective as a change of pace or fullback (if he even gets back to full health), we don't have any other option besides Ogbonnaya. Is he our long term answer? I hope not. But he's our best option right now.
Just because Hillis is white doesn't mean he doesn't share the same style as some of the backs mentioned. I will agree LT is a strech, but Rice and AP are not. We are not comparing the quality of backs, as Rice/AP are obviously better than Hillis, but they are both physical punishing backs as Hillis is. I think a lot of people view Hillis in a different way because he is a white running back. IMO there is no specific type of back you need for a west coast offense, or any offense for that matter. A good RB fits in with any offense, period. I do belive however, it is good to have a change of pace i.e. Hillis' punishing style combined with Sproles speedy style (I said during the offseason we should acquire Sproles smh, especially more now since all McCoy does is dump his passes).
Obendaya232eew is what he is. A practice quality player. There is a reason why he was one to begin with. I hate evaluating guys based on one game, but he has no burst or anything, and I was not impressed at all with what he provided vs the niners.

His play calling would be 10x better if he went about it this way.

This. Wildcat or not, Cribbs should be on the field more often. He is unfortunately the Browns best playmaker. Give him the opportunity to make some plays.
Also as we have said before:
More shutgun and more roll outs.
