They will both suffer career-ending injuries before gaining any yards.

Cedric Benson, the Bears have the better O-Line and I think he'll have a breakout year.

I think Benson will get more carries, but Jones is a better receiver out of the backfield. I'm going to vote Jones because he will get touches in space as a pass receiver.

I'll say Cedric Benson, but I don't think either will put up good (or even decent for a starter) stats.

Probably cause you're a Jets fan. If you're counting recieving yards I'd probably lean towards Jones because Pennington has a spaghetti arm and likes the dump off passes where as Grossman is unaware that you can legally throw the ball less than 20 yards.
In terms of pure rushing it's not even a contest. Better rushing line (pass blocking is closer) and a much stronger commitment to the run. Not to mention that Jones will likely be taken out a lot more with Leon Washington. I have a feeling Turner is going to run Benson into the ground.

It depends on 2 factors.
How much Jones is spelled, as NYJ loves using a committee at RB
Can Benson hold up for a season
Those 2 factors will determine who gets more. Benson will get a workload that his body hasn't been used to the past 2 years. His body could react poorly to that and he could get injured.

Losing Jones is going to come back and hurt the Bears this season I think. I'm not implying the Bears had much of a realistic choice h, but he was their best offensive player.

Cedric Benson. And I don't think it will be close.

No, I meant cause when I said it it was a dead tie, but by reading the comments it was all Benson.

I'll say Jones. basing my choice on that Benson seems to get dinged up (since entering the NFL). Jones will get his share of carries, although in a running back by committee offense.
I once again don't see Benson lasting the entire year. I'd like to be proven wrong

Thomas Jones will have to share carries with Leon Washington.. as long as Benson can hold up a whole season, I'm sure he'll have more yards this year.

Total yards - Thomas Jones.
Rushing yards - Cedric Benson perhaps.
Jones does have better depth, with Houston/Washington, which may lead him to being conserved if possible.
