RB by committee will not work in the long haul

I know it looks all sweet and grand and it is working for the time being but I am really not comfortable with the approach at all, particularly when the two backs are relatively the same age and same build
It seems like it's going to develop more into a full fledged competition with feelings involved rather than a 1-2 punch
Usually it's a vet and a young guy or two people with yin-yang running styles

Let Julius get the majority of the carries and have Barber be the second wheel
I still feel that Julius can be an elite back in this league (top 5) and I don't know if this is going to disrupt that potential
Get the win however you can, yeah, but no MBIII is not better than Julius
Julius should at least get 20 carries a week and Barber be his second wheel

If Marion Barber III becomes the starting RB for Dallas Cowboys all while Julius Jones is healthy, I assure you that it is a mistake
 
Right now it seems that it's very difficult for the team to get in a groove...not sure if this is part of the reason...my guess is that it's not.

It's difficult to get in a grove when your OL is suspect ;)
 
I would like them to just keep feeding the ball to Jones. He started to get it going in the first qrt, then they take him out.

I agree, JJ started off very good but once he was taken out for a bit, he got out of the groove.
 
I agree...MBIII reminds me of Lee but just a little bit better.

JJ is the starter of this team and he should be.
 
Parcells said he wanted Jones to get about 20 carries per game. Check out todays statistics.
 
I'm more concerned about our O-line than I am the committee at RB. Please!
 
Both RB's have shown that they deserve carries.

I felt that Parcells would go 60/40 with JJ & MB3.

We play again in 4 days, why beat one guy up ?

This is exactly what Parcells said he was looking for last year.

I don't see any reason to complain, or choose sides.

all I have to say is, Parcells said you need 2 good RBs in this league
