Look at Thomas Jones last 4 season compared to Barber's. Don't give me this crap that Barber wasn't the starter and all of that. If Barber is better than Thomas Jones you'd think he'd have convinced our coaching staff that he was at least better than his brother Julius. Thomas Jones has been a very solid and underrated RB in the NFL the past 4 seasons.DFWJC;2804016 said:You lost all credibilty saying Thomas Jones is better than Marion Barber.
good grief man.
I was at least kind of on the same page with you until you threw him in there. Jacobs is highly debatable too. Some of the other are debatable too, imo. But most non-Cowboy fans would probably agree with your list excluding (VERY obviously) Jones and maybe Jacobs.
That's kind of my point. He's yet to put together a full season.AmericasTeam31;2803931 said:Here is a thought... Turner had 376 carries last season. Do you know the most carries MBIII has had in his career? Last season he had 238. Do the math... Give Barber 138 more carries, even at his 3.7 avg. and he has just under 1,400 yards... with probably 12-13TD's...
In 2007 Barber had just as good of a season as Jacobs did last year. 15 less carries and 115 or so less yards. But he played everygame! And he also had 200+ more total yards than Jacobs did last season. Jacobs hasn't done that as a pro to this point.
Like I said, I am not arguing that Barber is a top 10 back, I'm just saying that you have to look at him really hard, if you are putting some of those other guys up there.

I'm not in love with the guy, I just think he's very underrated. The guy is very productive in every facet of the game.DFWJC;2804032 said:Okay...if you have TJ man-love...run with it bro.
Outside of maybe NY Jets fans, you would be very very alone in that assessment...but go for it. I think there is a real chance that Thomas Jones would be the 4th best RB on the Cowboys, but who knows.

He's been a starting RB for one season. He's never had a 1,000 yard season. Very reachable these days. Yet, some of our fans claim he's a top 10 NFL RB?
And to say he's better than AP? Come on...take off the colored shades and be objective.
