OK,
Stephen Jackson's value is higher then ever since Mike Martz is gone from St. Louis and the new philosophy looks like it is going to be more of a "pound the football" type of mentality. I agree with Jackson's rankings and I'm fully prepared to draft him in the late first round or early second round if he is on the board during my selection and he represents what I view as the most value at his position.
Kevin Jones on the other hand:
The entire Detriot offense got a bump when Mike Martz joined as offensive coordinator. I mean, Roy Williams is an extremely gifted WR, Jon Kitna is an upgrade over Joey Harrington, they have high-potential, high-drafted WRs to fill in the WR #2 and 3 spots, and Kevin Jones looks like he has the talent to be a very productive RB in the NFL if in the right offensive situation. My question is, what makes this the right situation? I know that some people expect Kevin Jones to potentially (hopefully) take over a Marshall Faulk-type of role in Detroit's new offense. Could he? Maybe.
While I might not have explained my point perfectly, my question is this:
Why does the loss of Martz in St. Louis considerably bump up Stephen Jackson's value while the addition of Martz in Detroit does the same for Jones' value? An obvious answer could be, "Anything is an upgrade from Marriucci's offense," but I don't whole-heartedly agree with that. I do agree that Martz is better for Detroit's offense as a whole, but should the same guy who is responsible for increasing Stephen Jackson's value by leaving do the same for Kevin Jones' value by addition?
TIA.
