BearBroncos Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Surprisingly, I'm torn on this one. F. Jones is the air apparent fo Barber and is slowly getting worked into the picture while Jacobs has had a pretty bad start, is the starter with Bradshaw not really doing anything to put Jacobs job at risk. BTW, non PPR but I do get points for special teams. Would you trade F. Jones for B. Jacobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I guess I should mention my other backs. I have: D. Williams K. Smith P. Thoms - should have a killer week this week. B. Wells - So much upside to this cat Mendenhall - Wondering why the hell I keep him!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think I would do it. Felix can be injury prone & I see Brandon Jacobs becoming more of a factor as the weather deteriorates later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 That's what I'm thinking as well..... Boy, this one is tough for me! Anyone else per chance? Thanks for the responce BTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Well, with the news that Barber will mostly likely miss at least 1 game, I think I might have to reconsider. If Jones has a great game this week, His value could rise so I think I might be able to negotiate a better trade than Jacobs. Anyone else agree with this?

ajfalcone Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 choice is barbers handcuff not jones. is the same situation as the giants where bradshaw will never take jacobs job as jones to barber. If you dont mind trading a starter in jacobs to a change of pace back in jones then go ahead, but my thoughts is Jacobs has more value.

If you dont mind trading a starter in jacobs to a change of pace back in jones then go ahead, but my thoughts is Jacobs has more value. I would have to disagree. Choice is a great check down back with some great speed, but Jones has explosive speed up the middle, something Barber and Choice do not have. Jones is also a former Razorback to which J. Jones moved Felix up the draft, just to pick him. He was razed big time for picking F. Jones over Mendenhall but as the numbers show, F. Jones was the right choice (no pun intended) for the Dallas offense. F. Jones should get +60% of the carries in Barbers absence while Choice will get -40%.

ajfalcone Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 i wasn't comparing who is more talented, my point is how they are being used in the dallas system. Felix wont be given the primary role unless barber and choice are out. So my answer to the question is Jacobs is more valuable because he is the primary carrier and given more touches per game. I would have to disagree. Choice is a great check down back with some great speed, but Jones has explosive speed up the middle, something Barber and Choice do not have.

jdub! Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 IMHO, Felix will get the majority of touches. If he does well throughout the game, expect more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Man Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I like Felix even have him on one team but think I would give him up for Jacobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
