[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 957009, member: 17953"] It's interesting how people see Jones as being a prime RB, and at the same time claim that someone like Watkins is past his prime because of age. Based on time in service (NFL), and age, Jones would be past his prime age of 25-26. Personally, I think a lot of that is hogwash. Even if a player's skills weaken some due to age, the key to success changes. They get smarter, and take advantage of how much they understand the offense they run, and a better understanding of the blocking assignments by others, and how to beat the defenders. It even gets to the point where some of them know which defenders they can use certain moves on, and others they can't. It's all part of experience, and that offsets quite a bit of the age issues. If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be more than a handful of RBs out there getting decent second contracts, because most of them end up ending their first near the end of their "prime" according to age statistics. In Jones, I see a darned good RB who could have several solid years ahead of him, if used properly. The objective is to not turn him into a work horse. Like suggested, who cares if Jones and Dillon each score 12 TDs, as long as we get the scores. [/QUOTE]
