Choice or Jones thread.

[twentytwo]

I didn't vote. I'm still torn on this. I feel like we haven't seen enough of either of them. TC doesn't get enough touches, and Felix has had so many injury problems.

I love both of these players though, and I think they can both be great. Not a bad debate to be having....

 

[Cowboy Brian]

I voted for Choice primarily because Felix has been having injury issues often (Even though I think they are flukes) and he seems better suited for 10-15 carries a game where as Choice could go 15-25. I will say that Felix when healthy is way more dynamic and explosive. Either back will consistently give you more positive yards than Barber....

I don't believe that to be the case with Felix, I believe he will either lose a yard or two, or gain 8 or 9, he won't be a up to guy 4-6 yards a carry guy like Barber is, Barber rarely loses yards. I think Choice will be like Barber in that sense, and I believe Choice will also have the big play potential Felix has. I see him as a hybrid between to two, the best of both worlds the Speed-Back and the Power-Back, Emmitt Smith 2.0 if you will.


No I don't hate Felix Jones, hes a fantastic RB, but we have 2 better ones on our roster.

 

[the truth of it all]

Did'nt really read this thread , but Choices carries should = Barber+ Jones.
choice should start and get that amt. While barber closes and is used in short yardage. And Jones used similar to Harvin and Reggie bush. Leaning more towards running though not so much pass... Make it happen Garrett.

 

[Cover 2]

speed is sexy

So is production, which is why I went with Felix.

 

[SharutoX]

I'd rather keep Barber and start Choice and use barber for the 2nd half of the game. I like Felix but hes made of glass

Yeah Felix is more like Tony Dorsette, the home run threat where as Choice is more like Emmitt, great between the tackles with a tad more speed than Emmitt. I wouldn't say any is truly better than the other, it's about finding their role.

Ad Naseum: Choice -every down feature back.
Felix -Change of pace specialty back.
Barber -Short yardage bruiser.

In a perfect Cowboys world they would be used in that manner.

I love Choice but TC and Emmitt Smith rarely belong in the same sentence unless you're saying both are RBs. If he ran like Emmitt he'd be on the field every down. He ain't but he's good as far as NFL RBs are concerned.

Emmitt wasn't Emmitt in his first year of full time carries either (1990). Choice has yet to even get that chance (significant carries)...

Yeah yeah yeah and sadly with Garrett's play calling we will never know either way....

 

[wileedog]

I like Choice as the all around back, but Felix is the real play maker of the three. And he is way better between the tackles than I think even the coaching staff gives him credit for.

I'd give a lot more carries to the two of them, starting with Felix.

I guess you missed the last game 13 carries for 36 yards
and the Den game 11 carries for 41 yrds
KC game 15 - 51 yards
Atl 14 - 47
Sea 14 - 53
Phil 15 - 50
GB 5 - 20


at I watch Felix at Ark he ran between the tackles

what he do againest Oak ran up the middle and scored 46 yards

MBIII and Choice would not have scored

FELIX ALL THE WAY

Its hilarious that people are ready to throw MB3 to the wolves.....

 

[craig71]

I think Felix brings more "wow" to the table than Choice.I just think Choice is a role player that doesn't excel at any one thing.

Craig

 

[Zman5]

Choice because he has proven that he can start against good run defenses and do well. He has also proven he can carry the load and do well.

Felix has the HR factor but I want a back that will help move the chains and keep the drive alive and I think Choice is better suited to do that then Felix.

Ideally Choice would start and if Felix can learn to block and catch better, Felix would do great as the 3rd down/change of pace back. Felix can fill the "Reggie Bush" type of role for us.

Sorry Marion, apparently youve been released.

 

[craig71]

Sorry Marion, apparently youve been released.

I don't think Barber is going anywhere anytime soon.I do think that they need to reduce his workload though.

Craig

 

[Da Hammer]

choice because he has the potential of being great at every aspect of his game. Running, blocking, receiving. He's not a one play gamebreaker like Felix but he's a 3 down back which is something Felix might never be

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Craig

Yep.

And get more misdirection going w/ 2 RB's on the field at once.

 

[alohawg]

Who are defenses more worried about? That's your answer. I think it's obvious and really not close. The problem is JG is too stupid or stubborn or whatever to use any of them to their fullest potential and benefit of the team.
