No. I think Unga is better than either Mack or Asiata. But they're both pretty good.

The question was Mack & Asiata or Unga - Vakapuna not included.

So, if we exchange Unga for both Mack & Asiata, who both average more yards per rush than Unga, we have two really good tailbacks, plus Vakapuna. More depth, not a HUGE drop in talent = better situation. If Unga goes down, we have a huge drop in production. If either Mack or Asiata go down, not a big drop-off - primarily a loss of depth.

That being said, I really like Unga and emotionally, I wouldn't give him up for any other RB's (well, maybe Knowshon Moreno). But objectively, you'd get two really good backs for the price of one really good back.

Asiata is a fat bowling ball. Overrated.

You've aligned yourself with SU and UtePlanet. Consider what choices you made that have brought you to this point.

Another swing for the fence and another miss.

This is sad, Mike. For your sake, please stop while you're behind.

Because it's a stupid poll. I thought I made that clear.
