Buckhalter may be as good of a runner as Westbrook but in a west coast style offense it is far more important to have a running back who is a threat on screen plays.

Westbrook only missed 2 games. The Eagles were 1-1 and should have been 2-0 but Andy Kotite gave away the Bears game. The team went 8-5-1 with Westbrook.

Besides this, every stat shows that in 08 Buckhalter was markedly better in the passing game - FO's stats have him top 10 in the league and Westbrook much further down in the middle of the pack.

Westbrook is the most important player in the offense, but his contribution is somewhat overblown - probably the most important offensive contribution comes from the defense/special teams, in turnovers and field position.
