there are far too many 1000 yard rushers for that to be the measuring stick anymore...i think 1200 is a good bar
Could some of you get the point??!! JJ has not been healthy all season, and has missed all or part of 5 games. Of course 1,000 yards is not THE measuring stick for RBs who have started & been healthy most of a season....but for Julius to come back like he did from a high ankle sprain, (which are far more serious than most realize), and have a chance to reach 1,100 yrds., that's saying something.
Many of you have been dissing JJ most of the season. The first half of the season, he was battling nagging injuries that took away some of his quickness, and many of you said he had lost a step & wasn't good enough to be the feature back. Then he comes back too soon from a very painful high ankle sprain, and all I heard was MBIII. Finally JJ gets to 100% for the first time all season this week, and he showed what kind of back we have, and he is our hero again. Come on! We are just so quick to throw out the baby with the bath water as soon as a guy gets hurt, or has a bad game. It's time to support Julius Jones ALL year long! When healthy, there are very few RBs in this league I would rather have. Dude is a Cowboy, so let's not support him just when the bandwagon is full.
