Westbrook is considered a great player by many people who know the game well. He has been the key to their success the past few seasons no matter who the QB was. Many experts felt Westbrook had the best season of any RB in the league in 2007. (I'd write that I feel the same way, but last time I sported an opinion around here I was called stupid and a crackhead.)
you gotta be kidding. westbrook is a top 5 in most valuable players to his team.. when he plays they are a playoff team, when he doesnt they are below average..
No kidding.... they were only off by 3 yards. Speaking of smart plays the smartest thing the Bills did is hold on that fake punt. It prevented them being stopped way short.

The problem with Westbrook has been his injuries. Since he came into the leage (6-1/2 years) he's missed about 12 games so far. When he's on the field there is little doubt about the value he provides to the Eagles. Don't know how missing ~2 games a year compares to other starting RB's in this regard. With the punishment these guys take it's hard to fault them in this regard. However, it just seems that his injury status is often an issue.
Westbrook is the key to the Eagles offense. He doesnt even need to produce, as long as he is on the field, the defense will key on him opening up the rest of the field for the offense. Leon is on his way there, but hes no Westbrook Badge....
