I somewhat agree with you but you picked the wrong RB's. See Portis and Betts will atleast run North South and take a hit running the ball. SA is more like Rock in the fact that Rock likes to take the ball and dance in the back field, run East/West and hope to break the big one. He loses yrds more then any other back until he breaks a big one for like 40 yrds.

In most cases people can do 100 good things and everyone will remember the one bad thing. Rock could have 100 run and only two being good and everyone praises his abilities and thinks he should be our #1 or #2 back.

SA is no different. He takes the ball and dances around on his tipy toes in the back field losing yrds here and there until he finds a lane a mack truck could drive through then gets decent yrds and everyone call him a pro bowl RB.

Note to SA: The Giants let one RB go and the Eagles only have one decent one that is injured half the season. check with them, they might give you a roster spot.
