MartyBall4Buffalo Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Thats one more thing that he does better, plus he is faster and runs harder than WM. If there were no Barber he would have ridiculous numbers. Have you watched Julius Jones ever just curious? Runs harder?

Unless I'm missing something that's completly gone over my head I dont see anyway Julius Jones is better then Mcgahee or ever has been. He's managed to put up less stats with more offensive talent and a better coaching staff around him, but he's better football player because he's "just not willis"
34-78-83 Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Okay then, let's get Jim Brown. Stop it you rabble rouser!
R. Rich Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Stop it you rabble rouser! What? I've heard of him...
RayFinkle Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Unless I'm missing something that's completly gone over my head I dont see anyway Julius Jones is better then Mcgahee or ever has been. Look at the GP column and then get back to us.
R. Rich Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Look at the GP column and then get back to us. I think that further proves GuessWhozBack21's point, if you're alluding to Jones' durability problems.

Plus a durable goal line back like Barber. Who gets the ball from the 10 yard line in. Do you watch any cowgirl games. Your stats arent even comparible. Especially when they have 2 great WR's and Tight end. And he still puts up decent numbers what does that tell you?
BUFFALOTONE Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I think that further proves GuessWhozBack21's point, if you're alluding to Jones' durability problems. The guy had a broken shouder. Thats not a durability problem. You dont mean to tell me that Willis isnt lying onthe ground for more than a minute at least twice a game. Please. Jones is a better back, face it. Willis cant get out of his own way.

DC Tom Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 how exactly is jones a better back? I mean, just a simple clarification for those of us who like to see things backed up with facts or anecdotes. Screw facts and anecdotes. I'll settle for rumors and innuendo in this case. Julius Jones for Willis McGahee? The only people that think that's a good trade are Cowboys fans...

It's because Willis is a Bill and Jones is, well, not a Bill. Duh!

And he still puts up decent numbers what does that tell you? All that says is julius jones isn't an every down back and that makes him better then a guy who is a 25-30 carry back how? Generally teams with more talent around them their skill position players will put up better stats. Jones has not been the most durable of runners and it's questionable if he's even better then Marion Barber. How exactaly does Julius Jones not being durable contribute to the fact that he's "better" then Willis? Outside of a saints blowout victory julius jones had 1 td over the last 9 games. His ypc would also drip dramaticaly. Is that really what you call production out of a starting rb regardless of whether or not he came out inside the redzone. If he did that here he'd be turned on faster then Willis or Henry was. Why trade a rb who is a 25-30 carry back for a guy who isn't? What does Julius Jones offer on the football field that McGahee isn't? The ability to not be an 25 carry back? Yeah he's faster then Willis but I just don't see the production warranting getting rid of McGahee for him. We're not getting anything beneficial in return, that merits a trade. Other then making the pitch fork crowd happy and needing to draft offensive line and another rb, because Jones can't be an everydown back. while taking on 2 new contracts for a split backfield. When we could just keep McGahee this year, improve the line and see what's what next season?
Buftex Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Apparently, according to mos here, any RB starting for the other 31 teams in the leauge is better than Willis McGahee....see you in July!

The guy has career games against the worst rushing defenses in the league.
34-78-83 Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 How about Mcgahee disappearing against any decent defense. The guy has career games against the worst rushing defenses in the league. Had one of his best games of the season against the Vikes (#1 at the time) run defense. I was at the game. He ran hard and pushed the pile all day. He kept a couple drives alive with his efforts that day and allowed the Bills to stay alive. His TD run was all effort too. Don't bother showing me stats. EDIT- He had another one of his best games against the Jags, a very highly regarded run defense.
MRW Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 The guy has career games against the worst rushing defenses in the league. Uh, what back wouldn't?
BUFFALOTONE Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Uh, what back wouldn't? Exactly. The point I am trying to make is that Jones is a more complete back than Willis.
BUFFALOTONE Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 how exactly is jones a better back? I mean, just a simple clarification for those of us who like to see things backed up with facts or anecdotes. How is Willis better? I can ask you the same stupid question. In my belief Jones is a better prospect than WM. I dont know what facts you want to bring into this. Guesswhozback already stepped on his crank by posting the stats. How do you match stats when WM played in 8 more games than Jones? Its not even fair.

inkman Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Why would either team ever want to make this deal?
