Pretty much agree.
Yeah, I like Jones' athleticism and SPARQ attributes. Williams has good size, hands, etc., but I think Jones is the better player. Just that Williams is built more like a true 3 down back than the others on the team. Wider hips, stronger frame, tallest one, etc..
Not sure a shorter less talented rookie version of Fitz would be the guy they choose to keep defenses honest this year but...okay.
Not sure the guy who played 16 games last year and caught 29 balls is the one who is going to step into the number two role this year but...okay.
Being a deep threat (to keep defenses honest) and being a team's #2 WR are two different things. with Fitz in the slot both Kirk and Nelson can line up outside. Many times the deep threat guy sees far less targets and is just out there to stretch the field.
Yep, and I agree, Hurns will get the most targets.
Montgomery is the best pass catcher, Jones is the best runner. Williams is the most complete.
Yes. I use SPARQ as a piece of the puzzle to make my decisions. Good or bad. The size of the piece it holds is not as big as others, but also not as small
Well I think we should probably define what we mean by #2 WR. I am speaking from a fantasy perspective. And I am also speaking about redraft.
I guess I just don't think JJ is very good. I agree with what you say about the #2 guy not being super relevant, but I really feel like Kirk is going to be the guy to take over the #2 role.
From what I've read, Kirk is best suited for Fitzerald's role. I'm not sure how much sense it makes to have your highly touted rookie learn a completely different position than what he will play in years to come. There is a greater chance that his inexperience lands him behind Fitzgerald learning what he can, working in 3-4 WR sets and getting game experience there. I honestly think it's reasonable to say that Kirk could have the 29 balls caught that was scoffed at in a post above.
I'm not sure where you're hearing this, but everything I've heard has said they are going to play Kirk outside. I've heard it talked about on local radio, and seen many articles about it. Here's one:
Interesting. Not exactly what I had read but I will take your word for it being a local. Very interesting!
I've been a Jones backer since I saw him single-handedly destroy the above-average Texas Longhorn run D while at UTEP. Granted Will Hernandez ended up being a stud OL, but everyone else around Jones was garbage.
It will be a jumbled mess to start the season, like it was last year. Honestly, I think Ty Montgomery is the guy to own weeks 1-4 and then after that I think Jones will emerge. GB has never gone to a RBBC in spite of what people seem to think. FBG really likes Williams, and it shows in their daily e-mails and so forth. He's the most complete but not the best running back. In the end, I think you can only hold back talent so long; what Jones has and Williams/Montgomery lack can't be taught.
Is this because of scheme though or because they never had more than one RB worth anything?
I've got a hunch on that too
I think it's their preference. prior to last year I remember reading how McCarthy has never done a true rbbc and doesnt want to. could be scheme preference
