Thomas Jones, no love (1 Viewer)

[resko99]

Yeah there are threads out there, but I'm not sure if another top 5 FF RB is going as unnoticed as Thomas Jones.

 

[joffer]

what kind of love would you like to see?

I do agree. He was stolen in my draft in the 7th round (as was Michael Turner).

Then again, that round also had Selvin Young and Fred Taylor picked before Thomas Jones.

I guess that's what I mean. He was an afterthought in my dynasty startup draft. He's producing as a #1 RB.

Not only was he overlooked in drafts, but

How is still the **17th RB** in the Top 250?!?!

His recent bigtime success hasnt even moved him up those boards, and I frequently see guys move 5+ spots in a week on there

All I know is if it wasnt for TJ, these last few weeks with no Bush and MB3 in somewhat of a purgatory wouldve been very costly

Most people saw:

A 30-Year old back coming off a 310/1119/1 season.

A shark saw:

An improved offensive line, and respect for the pass via Bret Favre.

-

...and the joke I made about him getting 10x more TD's than last year is becoming a reality.

Id also like to add about 3-4 weeks ago the Turner owner was laughing at my preseason offer of TJones and Chambers for Turner

I think I may get the last laugh when its all said and done

BUT, as for my SOD, it wasnt Jones, it was def Kurt Warner in the 19th round...suckas!!!

Thomas Jones

Thank you for filling in for Reggie Bush when needed. Thank you for filling in for Clinton Portis this week.

Got Kurt in all my leagues, including the dynasty. Hard to refute this.

 

[-baller]

I got so sick of hearing about what a sleeper he was that I vowed not to draft him.

wouldn't have gotten him anyway - some guy took him bottom of round 3.

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

Another Reggie owner who was glad to have TJ catch fire at the right time. But I did draft TJ higher.

 

[lion_crazz]

No arguments with that. Kurt is carrying my team for sure.

Thomas Jones Thank you for filling in for Reggie Bush when needed. Thank you for filling in for Clinton Portis this week.

Amen to that as I had him filling in for Portis too. Got him at the end of the 5th round. Saw the signing of Alan Faneca as a good omen.

 

[hauser42]

Glad to get Jones after drafting Moss,Brees,Plaxico,Marshall,and Edge in my total pts league. Sitting in a strong 2nd place and pushing for 1st.

 

[PR Sparty]

I got TJ and Warner in my dynasty league and i am RIDING on their back right now

 

[bollocks28]

I picked up Kurt Warner with the 2nd last pick overall whereas TJ was a keeper on another team. Kurt Warner = SOD.

 

[ScottyFargo]

Jones and I had a rocky relationship there a few weeks, but he is definitely pulling more than his share of the weight right now.

 

[•TheRealMcCoy]

Took TJ in the 4th (after Westbrook / Colston / Marshall......in that order)!! I complained all the way up to week 6 or so because guys like Calvin Johnson and Cotchery and Gates and Winslow were still there!??????? Boy have I shut my mouth since than!! Now it has seemed to be a GREAT 4th rd grab!!!

 

[qimqam]

Steal of the draft is an understatement ...

At the moment he is the #1 RB in both leagues that I'm in and #1 overalll in one of them.

Of course he has played 1 more game than evryone else but still

 

[Black]

I took TJones in the 6th round and LenDale in the 7th. Too bad I took Brady in the 1st and Colston in the 3rd.

TJones went in the 7th in my PPR league.

Warner went in round 16 in one league, round 13 in another. In both cases, the owner also has another stud QB and in both cases, they have not traded either QB...wasting points on the bench.

 

[Evilhomer3k]

I picked up Turner and T Jones as my primary backs. Too bad I picked Moss and Owens in rounds 1 and 2 and then Derek Anderson in the 5th. Rivers has filled in nicely for Anderson but I have a bunch of decent WRs with Cotchery, V Jackson, Moss, Owens, and O Daniels. I'm happy to have them but I was expecting to have 2 top 5 wr's (top 10 at the least).
