If you have a Barry Sanders, a Jim Brown, or an Earl Campbell...you have a great running back. Alexander is a very good running back but not in that category.
The knock on Clinton Portis when he came here was that he was a "system back" at Denver. All RBs, for better or worse, are system backs in my opinion.
Alexander has done exceptionally well for five seasons, and is coming off his best year. But the question is: How likely is it that he will be worth the money he will be paid during the term of the contract?
