Would you rather have Elliott, or Aaron Jones GB rb?

[Froski]

So is the "thread" of the day lol. Why is this even a question.

 

[EST_1986]

It's a crapshoot. You're going to pay elite performers at certain positions. Others you'll roll the dice. So the point is you like Jones over Elliot.. but only for the next couple years until you find another RB in the draft.

Jones is elite?

If it that easy to find elite guys then shouldn't the league be overrun by elite backs now?

it's a joke. the premise that we can just draft elite talent on day 3 is ridiculous.

Not sure Jones is elite, but being said I'd take Zeke over Jones yesterday, today and tomorrow

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

There's four or so RBs that are in their own tier

And then there's Jones, Zeke, and about 10 others in the next tier that all would probably produce about the same in a neutral situation.

Lol.. Zeke is a top tier back. Stay off the powder.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Zeke is in the top tier. Jones isn’t even close to zeke level.

He isn't, unfortunately.

Jones is definitely close to Zeke, that's why this thread has gotten so much attention.

Stay off the koolaid

This is the sort of thinking that had us believing in Joseph Randle.

No, the league isn't full of elite guys. Unless you define elite as "having their first good year."

This sort of thinking has literally zero correlation to Randle, don't grasp for straws so hard.

No, but if you think Zeke is elite then yes the league is littered with elite backs.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

He isn't, unfortunately.

Again, stay off the powder. Sheez.

 

[CPanther95]

Can I see what Zeke looks like in the same backfield with Rodgers before I decide?

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Again, stay off the powder. Sheez.

Again, you have ANYTHING of substance to contribute?

If not getting yards after contact effectiently, not eluding defenders at a high rate, but fumbling at a very high rate, and no top end speed is elite to you, then you have very low standards. Maybe the drug use has gotten to you.

Again Einstein, go read my posts & stay off the powder....

Not even close, Elliott. Size, strength, power, speed, can leap over players.

He doesn't face stacked boxes and if a must yard or 2 is needed, Elliott has the strength, speed & power to get it. Jones isn't very big, only 208 lbs.

Speed.... are you ****ing joking???? LMAOOOO

Zeke runs against 8+ men in the box 14.81%
Aaron Jones? 17.54%

Short yardage success rate?
Aaron Jones- 57%
Zeke- 55%

Lmao, just throwing **** out there hoping it'll stick. Yes you can call me Einstein(it's applicable here) or daddy, whichever works. Drugs are bad for you.

One fumble this year is fumbling at a high rate ? 4.5 yards per carry is garbage also right ?

I’m guessing you didn’t watch the game last Sunday night ? Because he displayed speed, elusiveness and run after contact. But I guess that game didn’t count ?

Wait, you do know Zeke has lead the league in runningback fumbles two of his three seasons, right?
4.5 yards per carry isn't garbage, it's painfully average.

I did watch it, but far his best game of the season, and one of his best over the last three years. Doesn't excuse the much much much larger sample size.

 

[Johnny23]

Aaron Jones is injury prone. He's having a career year but has also looked pathetic this year as well. He's been saved by touchdowns.

You can answer .your own question with an honest answer to this:
Would GB trade their RB for ours?

 

[birdwells1]

Ever notice that these "cheap" rbs play with elite qbs? Teams are gearing up to stop the pass game thus running becomes easier.

 

[Nexx]

Jones is a slot receiver playing RB imho. He can't carry the load in a run heavy offense but the way Green Bay uses him is perfect.

Ding ding ding. D coordinators are trying to make life harder on ARod thus giving Jones good looks in the run game.

 

[MojaveJT]

Also, can Jones block like Zeke? Zeke is a great blocking back and that aspect of his game gets overlooked by many here. It’s not sexy but keeps Dak alive.

 

[DandyDon52]

Jones and it’s not even close. He’s way faster than Zeke.

he seems much faster to me. He might also have better vision.
