Because we didn't have a back-up before signing him. We had McCoy and a bunch of mini-McCoys. Now we have a back-up who can run between the tackles, but also has the ability to catch passes. It adds a new wrinkle to our offense that we didn't possess otherwise. It's not akin to Asomugha, but it's a significant move by us and we just happen to be in the media spotlight at the moment.

I guess that's it.

But the Bears signed Marion Barber, who has similar career numbers [11 more TDs] and they are called bottom feeders.

It isn't like Barber is going to start either.
