Felix Isnt The Problem

[alohawg]

Felix is the board whooping boy......if he made a 99 yard TD game winning run they would talk about how he didnt get a TD earlier.

:fact:

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Felix wasn't the only problem today, but you could argue he was the biggest, that fumble at the beginning of the game killed our momentum.

 

[RealCowboyfan]

Felix deserves some bashing no doubt.

But he is just 1 of 53.

This loss was a 53 man effort on the field and by the coaching staff.

Im not defending Felix. He could get cut tomorrow and I could care less.

But to direct all the ire at him is just ridiculous.

Hey Im trying get some of what you are smoking, that must be some good stuff over there, I could pass a whole season off of what you smoking. Felix is a waste of roster space. Tanner could be doing a much better job with those carries than Felix.

What momentum? It was the opening kickoff :laugh2:

What momentum? It was the opening kickoff :laugh2:

The momentum of beating the defending Super Bowl Champs in Week 1.

I sure wish the overrated, underachieving, mediocre, poorly run Dallas Cowboys would trade Felix to Detroit now. The Lions are a team on the rise, and Jones would be a great fit there. I bet Detroit's coaches would appreciate him more and run him more than 1 time in 2 games, too. I think Felix is pressing to make a play now due to barely touching the ball on offense. I think you saw that on the screen to end the game. A change of scenery would be very good for Felix's career now, and I bet Detroit would be very glad to have an experienced, very good, very explosive, very productive, complete running back (25 years old, with extremely low miles on his engine and a real career 5.2 YPC and 5.7 YPT).

However, Felix is currently stuck in his annual jail cell, and he's probably stuck in Dallas for the rest of the year. Obviously, not getting to run the football is hurting his career now. There is no loyalty in Dallas and how quickly some forget. I'm talking to you, Jason Garrett. Getting out of Dallas now, would be a huge blessing for Felix Jones and a huge gift. Detroit would be great. I heard that Detroit called Dallas multiple times while inquiring about Jones. Perhaps, Detroit will call again before the trade deadline. Perhaps, Jason Garrett will find his memory of Jones' play and show some class and respect and let Jones go to Detroit.

After reading some of the comments across the internet and on this board, some of Dallas' delusional fans got exactly what they deserved today.

A big fat L!

*Last December, Felix hung a 22-108/25-131 game on Tampa Bay. It was the best game by a single running back at Raymond James Stadium last season. Jones' 11th carry went for 38 yards, and Felix destroyed Tampa Bay out of single back sets and by running behind Tyron Smith. If Felix gets the football, against Tampa Bay (at home), he will shut many people up. However, that is highly unlikely to happen, so Jones is at a severe disadvantage.

The fact that Felix 1 out of 53 is a problem, why keep guys like that around who contribute absolutely nothing?
He didn't cost us the game by him self last night but when is the last time he made a play that helped win a game? He's useless and he won't be here next year anyway so what exactly is the point of keeping him around?

Real reason we suck.............GARRETT = EPIC FAIL

Well, I certainly dont what any of what your smoking. I can get enough irrational thought from non comprehending people here on the Zone after a loss w/o adding to it. Whatever your smoking keep it for yourself!

 

[Cowboy_Shawn]

You are right. He is not the problem. He is one of 53.

But he could be the answer if Garrett would not allow him to dress for the next game and hold his feet to the fire for poor play and poor decisions.

Send a message that there is a new sheriff in town and everyone needs to fear for their jobs.

These guys need a kick in the pants.

That won't happen. He wouldn't even stand up to Marion Barber when he violated the dress code.

Garrett's all bark with no bite.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Felix should be cut tomorrow to make a statement to the team but you are correct when you say this was a 53 man effort and the blame goes to the leader of the 53 man team, the head coach. This team was completely unmotivated and basically quit in the second half.

What statement would that make exactly? That we are incompetent? I think teams have already figured that one out.

Don't you think there is a reason why Felix is not getting the ball? Garrett has seen something to let him know that Felix is not running well. He sure stunk up kickoff returns. You are right in your thinking that Dallas needs to trade him. The only problem is that Felix has very little trade value. You can keep defending him all you want, but Felix has sealed his reputation as a bust. For a first round pick, he has had little impact.

Think you're missing the point, people are not down on Felix cause he fumbled and no one is blaming him for the loss. People are tired of Felix cause he's useless, the fumble and grass tackle is just more proof of that.

If you don't care then why would you even start this thread?

Career 5.2 ypc, 5.7 ypt. How many backs can say that in this league?

He's had less of an impact than he should have because he's underutilized. Hard to run well, when you don't run at all.. and after this loss and the way we've played under Garrett im not sure i'd act like he def knows what he's doing in regards to not playing Felix enough or anything else for that matter. We're seeing the same stupid mistakes and sloppy play under Garrett that we all had attributed to Wade Phillips.

Now Wade is gone, is leading one of the best defenses in the league again, and we're in the same place we were before he came. It wasn't Wade, its the players. When you play like you're coddled and don't have a fire under your butt, its not going to matter who the coach is. Someone has to find a way to motivate this team, or else this core has to be blown up. Romo, Witten, Ware, Austin.. none of these guys play with an edge or play to destroy the other team. Witten is the closest one to it, and he's become irrelevant to the offense.

BTW.. look at the guy that everyone loved to hate around here, Martellus Bennett. Amazing what he can do when he actually gets the ball thrown his way, isn't it?

If we cut Felix, he's go somewhere that he's wanted and gets used properly and he'll light it up, as well. I agree with cutting him, but only because our coach doesn't know how to use him correctly and JG is just wasting his time at this point.

Completely useless.. who wants a back who gets you six yards every time he touches the ball?

No one is going to get anywhere near 6YPC out of the 2012 version of Felix Jones

 

[RoyTheHammer]

6 yards per touch.. and the 2012 version of Felix has gotten one carry in two games, he can't hand himself the ball, brother.

He had 8 yards per touch against the Seahawks, btw.

I hope he does go to Detroit and he takes you with him.

Your continuous stream of excuses for this mediocre, disappointing player have gone too far for me.

If he is cut I wouldnt really care. BECAUSE, if the coaches made that decision they would have a good reason.

However, to make Felix the bullseye for fan ire here on the Zone is from those who are missing the point. I got the point thats why the thread was started. The point is Felix CAN be useful. The rest of the point is that Felix can be viewed as A problem but his part in the problem is rather small.

SO, no I didnt miss the point. I got the point.
