Julis Jones still the #1 RB in Seattle (1 Viewer)

The Mo Mo owner in my league told me to drop JJ and his $31 salary. I told him that he should drop a $42 Deangelo Williams, and he said that DW has so much more value. I laughed, but he's serious.

The point of all that, well i was a bit nervous that Seattle might tget a RB that fell to them, but they didmn't so I am pumped.

It tells alot when Seattle didn't draft a RB when they had a chance however I think Seattle expected a RB to fall to them but the mini run a few picks before them ruined that idea.

I agree,but if they felt there was a need they could have made a trade up a couple of spots in the second and got one. I think it says a lot for Julius and the 5.5 Million he gets this year, he should be the clear cut starter, IMO.

:goodposting: Momo Proved last year he could not handle it and I don't think Duckett is going to beat out JJ.

Proved? How did he do that? I don't think Morris is the full time answer, but I don't understand your comment. I thought Morris played well behind abysmal blocking up front. Much better than Alexander. Did you get to see Seattle play a lot last season?

Would it be worth while to compare Morris with Alexander last season? What did Morris do last year to garner such disdain?

Let me clarify.Momo last year proved that he was not the answer to replace SA as Seattle's feature RB.

I don't know. I don't think he did anything wrong last season. Do you?I think that management's actions speak volumes about their faith in Morris, but if anything I think Morris earned carries this coming season. I understand that most people are going to discount any contribution that he'll have in the Seattle offense this coming season, but I don't mind being in the minority there. Who knows? He might not be on the roster when training camp starts. If that happens I'm confident he'll find a job somewhere in the NFL.

Are you suggesting that Seattle would have been better off keeping Alexander?

Not at all but Jones is hardly a major upgrade. Is the running game going to be better than last year? Possibly but Jones was in an better offense last year-started most games- and still wasn't that good.

How would you compare Jones and Morris? Which would you prefer?

Dallas averaged 17 yards a game more than Seattle, 9 more a game on the ground. I wouldn't say Jones is a great upgrade but he is an upgrade based on how he was used in Dallas between the 20s which will not be the case in Seattle where he will have more opportunities inside the 20. Seriously, I'm an upgrade over Shaun Alexander so Jones will have no pressure and he's a few years younger.

Jones is the 'sexy' pick with much more upside than MoMo.I don't think we're disagreeing because Jones has had some success early in his career and maybe a change of scenery will be as good for him as it was for his brother.
 
If you are talking redraft, y es. If youare talking dynasty, forget it. You still need to be talented to keep the job long term and JJ has proven in Dallas that he is an average back. While he may not be replaced this year(although who knows whether Duckett won't be the primary back???), he will be the following year. You can keep him and feel smug.

 
Even if JJ beats MoMo out for the starter he's not getting the tds, Duckett is. He might get a 1000 yards, but I'd be surprised if he had 5 tds.

He failed miserably wth a better OL. Go get the bum. Duckett will handle the gaol line chores in Seattle. Jones is worthless. He will get his 45-80 yards here and there but if you think he is going to set the world on fire on a lessor team, you are sadly mistaken.

Yeah he has had all the chances in the world in Dallas. A good offensive line, a lot of talent round him in the skill positions. All this guy did was stink it up. His problem is that he hardly ever breaks a tackle and does not stay with the play long enough and does not let it develop. A change of scene may help Jones as he will not have a beast like MB3 behind him. He has the talent maybe Seattle can bring it out.
