Cedric Benson

The Cincinnati Bengals are the feel good story of the NFL this year, which is great because I love Carson Palmer and Chad Ocho Cinco is hilarious. After all, he did legally change his last name to his number in Spanish. However, these guys are not the biggest reason for their success- Cedric Benson is. Yes, Cedric Benson, the former Chicago Bears Running Back, has more rushing yards than elite RB's like Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson this season.

Cedric Benson was drafted #4 overall by the Bears in the 2005 draft, and his lackluster achievements on the field resulted in the most frustrating and disappointing seasons in recent history. Him and Rex Grossman combined was like watching a blind kid and a cripple trying to run an offense.

He joined a long list of former Bears’ high draft picks that dominated in college and entered the season with high expectations. He never lived up to his lofty draft status and giant paycheck. Like Curtis “P” Enis and Rashan Salaam(y), Benson was a bust. He should consider himself lucky that he doesn’t have a retarded name like the other two. His best year with the Chicago Bears accumulated only 647 yards with more fumbles than TDs, and now he’s on pace for 1500 yards this season? Is this guy on steroids? In Chicago, Benson smoked pot like it was steroids but obviously didn’t see the same results. Seriously, this guy seemed like he was high 100% of the time.

Cedric Benson was said to be a “big” back that used his size to barrel through defenders, but really he showed that by “big” back… that just means fat back. He was slow and couldn’t break a tackle if his life depended on it. If you watched the Bears, then you‘ve seen his atrocious running style. He lowered his head and ran into the pile or he fell down from arm tackles. This was the guy we traded away Thomas Jones for?

You’d think that the Bears had enough reason to get rid of this piece of shit, but no… Cedric Benson thought he should give them at least one more. Benson was charged with boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest. Allegedly, Benson's boat was boarded during a random check and he supposedly failed a field sobriety test. After Benson initially refused to come to land for further testing and refused to wear a life vest, he was sprayed with pepper spray. Sounds like something that would happen at Bomb night at CO’s.

"They gave me a field sobriety test, told me to say my ABCs and told me to count from 1 to 4 up and down," Benson said. I’d be willing to bet that Benson couldn’t even do this when he was sober, so I would pay to watch him try when he was hammered. Seriously Cedric? I understand that the ABCs may be a little difficult for you, but you couldn’t even count from 1-4? Check out his mug shot from the arrest…

To make things worse, he pulled a Milton Bradley before he was finally traded…. He blamed his performance on the fans and he even told the fans to “go fuck themselves.” Awesome man.

Now this guy is leading the NFL in rushing yards and another former Bears outcast, Kyle Orton (minus the neck beard) have their teams at 4-1 and 5-0, respectively. What is this world coming to…
