If LJ were to hold out, there's no way Priest will hold up to the load that Herm put on LJ last year (I doubt LJ could hold up under it for a second straight year either). Use Priest like we did Marcus Allen and we could get a couple more years out of him as well as scoring lots of points.
If LJ doesn't come back, I'd still preffer letting the younger guys carry the load and use Priest like Marcus. It could be argued that Priest was a larger contributor to our offensive success than Green was. I'd just as soon use him sparringly and keep him around.

Excellent post- yep you can't forget about all the passes PH caught. He could really be a great option for Brodie.
I would have my doubts about the whole load being put on his shoulders too.
