While I think that's a little overboard, did you see how that Steelers tool said he'd take Choice over him?

Think that might have anything to do with the fact that Felix didn't even play against his team? :rolleyes:

That's a Steelers fan that likes Choice because what he did against them. He's probably never seen Felix in Action.


If felix Stays healthy he can be the best RB in the NFL. Call me crazy but that kid has some skills.

YOu are. Peterson is a stud, no doubt about it. Now anyone else, if Felix plays consistently like he did so far, then he can be considered elite runners in NFL.

If Williams means, DeAngelo Williams, yeah Felix I think is better, if he can stay healthy. And so far Felix doesn't have injury issues other last year, since in College apparently he was never really injured.

I just don't think they understand what you are saying. When you say runner I think if I had to get pickup huge chunks of yardage in a hurry, who can take it 60-70 yards to the house. I'd pick Barry over Emmitt, I'd pick Peterson over Brandon Jacobs, I'd pick Felix over Choice. Those guys not only have great speed, but they know how to set up their blockers in a way that gets them free, where others find some yards. Emmitt had that ability, but not the speed to go with it. I think those people on that board don't get it because most didn't get to see him. Felix has some serious ability. Hopefully he will stay healthy and have the opportunity to show it this season. That dude is BAD!!!

Felix Jones is elite.


He's a back that a team picks up every 20 years.

Choice is a better blocker and more durable, no?

Choice was a better blocker. Durability is still a tossup. Choice had knee issues in college, Felix didn't. One year in the league is tough to tell.

If Dallas had Peterson....

How often do you need to pick up 60-70 ground yards in a hurry? Anytime you need to get those yards quick, the coach will always go with the pass over the run.

I think the scary thing about Peterson is he's nowhere near fullfilled his potential IMO. I believe he really has the ability to be an excellent back catching passes out of the backfield and has the ability to line up out wide, get a mismatch and burn by a linebacker and even a safety and catch a pass deep. For some reason Childress doesn't want to do it, but I would work on it to throw opposing D-Coordinators fits and fears. Peterson does have a fumbling problem though, something Jacobs doesn't have. I would take Peterson because he's incredible and has even more potential, but if I want a guy to protect the ball and keep the chains moving, I'll take Jacobs.

The 50 gif FTW!

I think its far too early to put Felix in any rankings or groupings. He's looked fantastic when healthy, but come on ... He hasn't even touched the ball 100 times yet. So yeah... I think you're crazy. I hope you're eventually proven right.... But you're looney toons until then. ;)

I wouldn't. If used properly we will be in great shape at RB. It's the O-line I'm concerned with.
