You are absolutely correct. I believe that Tim Hightower - - uninjured and fully recovered from his current injury - - has the ability to be a very good RB in the NFL. At the same time, Roy Helu has shown - - once he got the chance to show - - that he too has the ability to be a very good RB in the NFL.
The emergence of Helu may mean that the Skins opt not to spend enough money on Hightower in the free agency period to keep both of them on the squad for 2012. I would prefer that both of them were here but the more Helu achieves in 2011, the less likely that becomes. Such are the economics of NFL salary caps...
