Felix Jones, McFadden and T. Choice available Crazy pants thread *merged*

[Apollo Creed]

He was gonna make it but tripped on nothing and fell about half way there.

Guys in the locker room called Uncle Felix because he was a 21 year that looked 40.

 

[speedkilz88]

Felix was very talented regardless of what people say but he probably doesn't have it anymore...

I didn't want to draft him in the 1st that year since he was a scat back type rather than one who could take the load. But what happened to that guy. He started to look like he didn't want to be hit anymore but he never was used enough to be worn down like that. Similar to Julius Jones but at least he got hit quite a bit.

I would question anyone's eye sight if they questioned Felix's talent. Now his love for football and work ethic are a different story

 

[Blast From The Past]

So is Tebow, don't want him either

I never got the hate for Tebow but like you I don't want him. But if Felix Jones was good enough to compete for a job I would not have a problem signing him to a team friendly deal. That is a big If. Talking about one former Cowboy here not multiple ones.

 

[KJJ]

Who?? lol.. I remember clowns on this forum defending Felix saying how good he was.

So much for you claiming to have me on ignore certainly didn't take long for you to follow up my comment with that shot. LOL We had several debates about Felix and I liked him early on he showed some real flashes with the limited opportunities he got. He had a terrific playoff performance vs Philly during the 09 season rushing for 148 yards but he started putting on weight and his performance fell way off. He wasn't even on an NFL roster last season so he's done.

Posts like these show us why the OP chose his name to be "Blast From the Past."

Exactly what I was thinking.

I see Felix Jones has been invited to the veteran combine. If he were in shape and were to do well would he be a viable player to bring back to Dallas? Or has that train already left the station?

I don't think there will be anyone at the veteran combine we are interested in. I could be wrong but this just looks like a made for TV event and the main purpose is to increase viewership in the dead of the off season.

Y no reason to hate Tebow but I never understood what any one saw in him. Jones was a disappointment for me.

 

[CATCH17]

Tell him to stay ready in case there is an emergency and we need quick help.

Other then that there is no way he should ever be on the roster.

 

[daveferr33]

Don't know what is funnier, the idea that he will show up in shape or that the Cowboys might be interested.

When I think of Felix Jones, I think of him being chased down by slow things:

The train left the station and de-railed down the line somewhere- Nothing against the guy but I don't want him back here.

 

[Blast From The Past]

I was just looking at who was invited and saw a former Cowboy on the list and was curious what zoners thought of him if he showed up in shape and did well.

Y no reason to hate Tebow but I never understood what any one saw in him. Jones was a disappointment for me.

I will say we never got the "wow" long term but did see glimpses from Felix here and their back then.

After he gained weight he did slow down.

Ba ha ha ha! Nice photoshops!

Stole them from this thread from back in the days when I merely lurked here:

Felix was great if he was used for what he was instead of trying to make him a full time back. He was an excellent change of pace back. People must have forgotten how he averaged nearly 9 yards his first year in and over 5 his second year. I wonder how he would have done if he had this lone here. He would have been the perfect change of pace home run hitter to complement Murray.

As of getting him now? Nah, time to move on, but I won't act like the guy wasn't electric his first couple of years here.

 

[TheDallasDon]

Who?? lol.. I remember clowns on this forum defending Felix saying how good he was.

I was one of those guys, but there was a time where ghost Felix existed.....and by that I mean when he ran threw the line so fast that the tv couldn't keep up and 2-4 Felixs where on the screen at one time. Knock me or Felix if you want but he had talent

 

[DemonBlood]

Uncle Felix!

 

[Fletch]

Never heard of him..

You own his jersey, home and away.

No the only embarrassing jersey I own is Roy Williams the safety, I do have a stuffed teddy replica of Felix that I sleep with every night though
