knowshon vs Beanie Wells?

[LegendoftheFall]

I would take Wells first. There's a log-jam at RB in Denver. And though i do expect Knowshon to emerge as the best of the bunch, its still a concern(think McFadden last year in Oakland). Beanie's only competition in Arizona is Hightower, who emerged last year for a few games before getting benched again for the aging Edgerrin James. After releasing Edge, there was no doubt the Cards were looking for a feature back in the draft and they got him. At worst Beanie will get 50% of the carries and the goal line carries for a very good offense that opposing D's will be gearing up to stop the pass. I dont think either is a significant injury risk. Beanie isnt injury proned, he just got alot of publicity over his injury because he played hurt alot last season. meanwhile Denver has been a trainwreck between losing Cutler, Marshall threatening to hold out and acquiring 3 veteran and fairly successful RBs along with Knowshon. Talent being fairly equal, i think beanie has a MUCH better situation. And for RBs thats the most important thing.
