I really like Dillon. He can get you 3 yards when you need 5. I don't mind a one year prove it deal but putting any guaranteed money into it would be another foolish move. He shouldn't be given a roster spot. I don't think he can beat out Wilson but if Gute decides that all the RB's in this...
Without Jones added to their offense, the Vikings would've been a bottom feeder. Gute handed Jones to Minnesota for a difference of a mere 1 million or less than 1/2 of 1 % of the salary cap. Jones turned down 6 million and signed for 7 million. The Vikings are not a better team in total given...
The bottom line and the reason why Gute stepped in it is that the Packers basically stayed the same at RB all the while the Vikings got much much better. In the last five years, Jones has only missed about 10 total games. He's been durable even counting last year. When the Vikings had Cook and...
Instead of being alsorans, handing Jones to the Vikings doesn't mean they are going on a deep playoff run, but it does mean they aren't going to be a push over and will likely split their two games with the Packers next season. With Jones and Jefferson, even Darnold might be able to shine.
Jones has an enormous impact on an offense even with only 15 to 20 touches per game. It's the added big plays that extend drives and keeps his team out of fewer third and long situations. Even when he isn't getting the ball, he makes his presence felt. Nothing against Jacobs who I think is very...
I'm glad Nixon is a Packer but I would've rather seen his 6 million go to keeping Jones. The difference in the Packers offense with and without Jones is enormous. Nearly 100 yards per game. The whole Jones fiasco is is as bad of a failure to game out potential outcomes as starting Billy Turner...
Swapping Jacobs for for Jones in free agency made the Vikings a much better team. That outcome should've been in the thinking but doesn't appear to be the case. I like Jacobs but the Packers are probably not better in 2024 because of how good Jones is. Maybe the long term impact is positive but...
Wow, was this screwed up. Jones runs to the Vikings and gives them a sweet deal just to F.U. Gute. He's going to bring the pain twice next season. Clearly, Jones was pissed off after what he perceived to be lowball offers. Getting Jacobs should ease the pain, but be prepared for Jones to have...
In the few games, I've watched the Giants, McKinney reminds me of those guys who are just good football players. They process the game very quickly and just react faster than most other players so they are always around the football. Woodson was the epitome of that. I'm not saying Xavier is a...
I agree that you just can't hand the job to Rhyan. Packers need to draft an IOL high in the draft both for depth and competition for Rhyan. He may pan out but he'd already be a good starter at the end of year 2 if he was showing that he's more than an average player.
No way there are enough snaps to keep two marquee RB's like Jones and Jacobs happy. Gute has moved on from Jones. I like Jacobs, he's a beast but Jones is lightning. Jacobs is years younger so Gute picked youth over what he deemed the "heartbeat if the team".
Jones will likely end up in Minnesota. The Vikings are desperate for a RB. The bad feeling in the pit of your stomach will hurt even more when Jones inflicts a lot pain wearing purple.
