Felix is way better...

[juck]

half the carries and almost the same yardage as Mendenhall.Some of u are blind.This guy was a backup and this good.wow.

One thing most people arent realizing is that Mendenhall WAS a one year wonder. Only had ONE great year in college.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Felix is a much better Receiver, Blocker and a Great Kickoff Returner. Mendenhall is this Board's Pet Cat.

In addition to the above, Felix played in the much tougher SEC

Felix averaged 9 yards a carry thats insanity!!!

have you watched all of his games? have you looked at this guy besides his stupid 9 ypc avg? have you seen him break tackles and have good vision to see and utilize his blocks? the man basically out speed everyone in college and ran past tired defenses after a great back like mcfadden tired them out. come on, this man will not do the same in the nfl, look at reggie bush and how great he was in college! what happened when he went into the pros?

In his defense (and yes I was pissed we passed on Mendenhall), If Jones=Reggie Bush, I'll take it.

Considering Bush was taken #2 overall and Jones was had with a #22 pick.

 

[skinsscalper]

Like Reggie Bush, though, if Barber goes down we are ****ed.

 

[Doomsday]

Defenses were also a bit more worn out from McFadden though.

and barber can play that role now. I'll admit i wasn't super excited to see Jones name called, but if we use him properly with marion we could see a pretty lethal backfield.

That is why I am pissed that we passed Mendenhal. Felix Jones is strictly a BACKUP. When MBIII leaves or, God forbidden, is injured, we still need to find a No.1 RB.

J Charles would have filled the purpose of drafing a backup RB, with a much less price tag.

this is the exact same thing that i'm trying to tell these . listen, i am only comparing him to bush, but in NO WAY can I say he'll be as good. but that IS his purpose of being picked up! Who says Barber is just as good as Mcfadden? They're both different type of backs.

so lets see, what can we do tommorow in the draft? we better not pick up another linebacker..........

This is a very impressive highlight film. I think, just based on highlights i've seen, he will be better in the pros than McFadden.

This guy just runs away from people. GREAT vision. Versatile and can catch. I think this guy could be more than "strictly a backup" too. 205 is not small....if Westbrook/Dunn/Bell/etc... can do it at their size, i don't see why he can't.

Like Wade said, he is built like Thurman Thomas, I see that...

if you think a guy can just run away from people in the pro, you need to turn on your lights. you don't compare him to westbrook...

Dude lay off other people. Felix is going to add a dimension to our team that we dont have right now. We still have a #3 running back spot available just in case MBIII goes down.

A running back can be had in the 5th, 6th or 7th round that can come in and start right away. Look at Green Bay.

but come on! @ 22? we could've had way better value for our 1st round picks if we did something else with it!

 

[BHendri5]

Ok, all you mendenhall folks, answer this question, why is it that a guy that did not even get drafted last season kept mendenhall on the bench?

who knows? i wasn't on mendenhall's bandwagon

Im just curious who you thought the better value was at #22 was if you areent on the Mendenhall bandwagon? I mean we still got Jenkins at #25..
