Quote from: katkavage on Today at 10:25:00 AMI agree. You don't need a list to know where Jones stands after five years in the league.

For me, these lists aren't about the players or teams. It's based on personal preference of some isolated criteria. It's worthless. But... people try to justify or debunk whatever they agree or disagree with. It's just someone else's opinion. They're peddled as if they determine something when in reality, they determine absolutely nothing.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 21, 2024, 09:07:53 PMHe got overpaid. He's been bottom 3rd analytics wise the past 2 years. The Eagles overpaid for name recognition and what they think he can possibly do with their oline. Because it wasn't for what he's put on the field the past 2 years. His EPA, VOA, and every other offensive metric is ridiculously bad.

As @Painter has been pointing out from the very start, one of the things about Barkley is that he is a boom-bust runner.  A stat I've never seen, but would like to, is median yards per attempt.  My gut feeling is that it would give a sense of the RB's consistency and would be particularly useful in comparing backs to historically great back.  My other gut feeling is that Barkley would not rank very highly by this measure.

Perhaps the greatest athletic performance ever.  "He's running like a tremendous machine."

Now after the 2023 season they have him ranked 29th, seems a bit radical doesn't it?

NFL.com had DJ ranked 18th before the 2023 season, which can be seen down below.

Now they have him ranked 46th, which can be seen down below, seems a bit extreme doesn't it?

It's almost as if there was football played between these pre-season 2023 and 2024 rankings which affected them...

Both are extreme. I see him as high as 16 and as low as 23. That is being fair.

Good news, rehab well.

Quote from: T200 on Today at 09:59:01 AMAll of these guessing-game rankings are meaningless. It's crazy how people get triggered by them.

I agree. You don't need a list to know where Jones stands after five years in the league.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 09:29:14 AMAs a Giants fan, I know as much about Jones as anyone outside of 1925 Giants way.  That said, I have no idea how Jones will perform this season.  Between his struggles last season and the ACL recovery there are too many unknowns.  So I have reached the conclusion that trying to rank him at this point, is a meaningless exercise.  Hell, I am not even certain he will be the starting quarterback for all or even part of the season.
