Jones footage

Benson footage

I think RAIDERNATION, and LHUCKS hit the nail on the head on this one.

For my money Jones is a far superior runner, he's quicker, and runs with deceptive power. He's also a far superior receiver, and most importantly, is an excellent blocker (which benson is not as evident by Peterson starting over Benson last year). Take a look at the footage, Benson clearly lacks vision as evident by the play where he ran into his own linemen against the Saints when there was a big enough cut back lane to drive a tracter through to the right.

I'll leave you with this final thought, I owned Benson last year, and the most painful memory I have is the Minnesota game, this game was finally Benson's chance, but instead Jones actually suited up, and 1/2 a Jones was better than a Benson, the final scene where Benson handed the hobbled running back a gatorade is where I finally decided to release his ###.

Benson < T. Jones

 
Benson 2005 touches - 68

Jones 2005 touches - 340

Jones had 5x's more of a sample to pick highlights from, plus he is a 6 year vet whereas Benson was a rookie who missed training camp.

I'd hope Jones would look better in a 2005 highlight reel.
