I was looking at Green-Ellis' college stats and he is very comparable to Maroney.
In his very few opportunities in the pros, he has looked strong.
Considering those two points, why shouldn't BJGE get his shot to be the guy this season?
Maroney is stumbling and bumbling through another mediocre-to-average camp.
If it helps our team, why not let Green-Ellis carry the ball 20x a game and see what happens?
Isn't that what pre-season is for?
