[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 878846, member: 9033"] Yes, the guys I listed weigh at most 7lbs more. Are we really going down the road of claiming that an increase of 3.3% in body weight is the difference in carrying the ball an extra 3 times a game? I mean, when was the last time someone said Melvin Gordon wasn't capable of being a durable RB? He's a whopping 7lbs heavier than Jones. The theory that Jones has durability issues kind of got blown out of the water when he played all 16 games last year and touched the ball 285 times last year (10th in the NFL). My main point is, I would much rather have the RB that is an elite receiver and average runner over the elite runner and average receiver because the elite receiver is going to force the defense to play nickel or dime while the average receiver won't. That elite receiving RB doesn't need to be 230+lbs because, hopefully, more than 20% of his touches will be in the receiving game where he's being tackled by a safety or corner and not having refrigerators fall on him.
