"It's not about who starts the game anymore. You can never have too many running backs. Teams are not going to a 2-back system just because it's trendy. Dallas has three blue-chip running backs. Three! Harrison, Hardesty, Hillis, Hooever... Just win, baby."

Jerome Harrison has impressive numbers, so why hasn't he been named the Browns' featured back?If you're 5-9, 205 pounds and have had some injuries like the Browns' Jerome Harrison, you watch the team draft another running back in the second round, pick up a combo back in a trade and come to camp as part of a running-back-by-committee.
In his column today, Terry Pluto writes, with Montario Hardesty still out, it's time to for the Browns to commit to Harrison and make him a significant part of the offense.
In their comments, Browns fans seem to be divided on this issue. For example biobrowns writes,
"I agree that the Browns have a superb running back in Jerome Harrison and just hope that they make him their feature back until he proves otherwise."
However, BrownsBro counters that you need more than one running back.
