Default Faulk should be starting RB

Seriously. He's better than both Maroney and Morris.

He should be the starting running back.

He's good where he's at. Maroney should be No. 1, once he gets healthy.

One thing I like is having Faulk cover up the ball when he sees contact.

Why not?

Everyone calls him a great "3rd down back".

Perhaps if you ran him on 1st and 2nd downs you'd see how great of an all-round back he is.

Seems silly to play someone with such great skills only 1/3rd of the time.

He would get worn down if he was an every down back. He's a perfect 3rd down back. And, we are utilizing him correctly. Let's give Maroney some time and see what we have there.

Maroney is our #1 and hopefully people realize that now.
