For all the poor us, stupid us for picking Felix Jones over Mendenhall, here is what we are stuck with...poor us! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2132301675565791230&q=felix+jones&ei=IsAUSJ__AY-eqgOE_cDUBA

Seriously in all fairness here is what we missed out on. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3222803516350891246&q=Rashard+Mendenhall&ei=cb8USOW5JY_CqAOc9vS8BA

With Marion Barber on the roster, if Mendenhall is a full time starter how will Marion find the time to be on the field.

Get over it people just comparing highlights there is so much more Felix brings into the fight, the return capabilities by itself is such an added value. The vision and how well he works between the tackles is just amazing for sharing the backfield with another great running back in McFadden.

I'm much more ok with it now than I was originally cause I do think that Jones is a better fit, for a complementary back, than Mendenhall would have been.

You must be new to the English language.

Now, can you show us a hi-lite package of the players flaws? Oh wait, thats why scouts don't look at players on youtube! If they did, every draft pick would be a 1st round pick!

It really is a 200% upgrade over the departed Jones, just the fact the guy doesn't go down on the first hit. Can catch the ball well out of the backfield, the acceleration from hesitation moves just leaves you feeling :eek: . This is what we have been all frustrated with what Julius should have been.

Jones at 22 is terrible and CJ is a better option at KR and if you want some one catching out of the backfield.

Seriously. Switch teams. Go root for CJ in Tennessee. Buh bye.

I thought Jones was a better player than DMac who goes down with the least contact. But I did not have Mendenhall rated lower. Neither did the Cowboys. It was a typical Jerry move. He thinks Jones will help him win a SB this year. Mendenhall would save us a lot of money not having to pay Barber the going rate.

Hopefully there will be a Mendenhall out there next year. Or the next.

I will be rooting for him. but you honestly aren't going to tell me that your happy with the Jones pick when Mendenhall was still on the board and if we wanted a KR/scat back than CJ was obv better at that than Felix. So maybe you should go some where bye bye. My sig during the season will look something like this

2008 Stats

Chris Johnson Rashard Mendenhall Felix Jones Mike Jenkins Antoine Cason Fasano and that crappy TE we drafted.

Why do so many people have the same avatar?

And jobberone, the combination of Jones and Choice is likely going to help us avoid overpaying for Barber.

Choice is the real deal.

I'm hoping we can get another shot at an AP/DMac, game-changing franchise back sometime within the next couple of years. I miss us having one of those.

Felix Jones is really electric. Plus he did this in the SEC without a passing game.
