I would rather have Dwyer as the starter than Redman. Redman is good, powerful and all that but I like the vision and quickness of Dywer.

If we are going to be using a lot of 11 personnel (3 WR sets) like we should, then I prefer someone in the backfield who will be able to protect Ben by blocking any free blitzers. I'm not convinced that Jon Dwyer is that guy.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
I acknowledged last year that Redman was better than I thought he would be and is serviceable back up RB. What I continue to reject to this day is the notion that he is a #1 RB. Let's not forget that IF he gets the start on Sunday it is only because Mendenhall is hurt.

I think Redman is capable of being a starter in this league and for our team. I think he has a better shot at it than Dwyer at this point but, I just like the idea that Dwyer reminds me of having the kind of tools that can get us some big yardage runs. Having said all that I have this question. Is it better to have a battering ram type with Redman that is probably going to move the defense back more often than Dwyer or is it better to have Dwyer that can get the defense wiff every so often ?
feltdizz probably is most correct with it doesn't matter at this point. And I'm guessing he means they both bring something to the table.
