[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 908991, member: 12283"] I think you could go either way with these two backfields. In my opinion, Cook and Jones are very close as players. Jones is a better route-runner, receiver, pass protector, and ball carrier. But the primary job of a running back is to run the ball, and Cook is the better runner. His explosion to and through the hole is special. And you can't fairly compare their YPC marks and call them neutral when Cook is carrying the ball 100+ more times. So while you might give Jones the edge in more areas, Cook's edge is in the most important area. Hence why I see them as very close as players. I would not think that what they've invested via draft capital and contracts would factor into this discussion. [/QUOTE]
