Inevitably the Jones conversation breaks down to a debate about some abilities being coachable and others being innate. While I think there is some merit to this, it is often over-exagerated and becomes a crutch.

I would say this is beneath you, but putting those who disagree with you into an illogical, inaccurate, and indeed ridiculous box to make your own opinions seem correct by extension is not a new tactic. And even this very thread shows how your self-statedly "proper" assessment is out of line with reality. To wit, I literally noted I could see Jones repeating or improving somewhat on 2022, but you ignored what I actually stated in responding to me in favor of what you find easier to attack.
Divergence of opinions is fine, and indeed healthy. Willfully misstating another's opinion because you disagree with it is dishonest and unworthy of recognition.

Quote from: Trench on April 29, 2024, 12:50:38 PMI would argue he did not do it all. For instance:
1. He was not a good blocker
2. He had trouble picking up the 1st down in short yardage situations
3. He had a lot of dropped passes
4. Many games were actually mediocre less that one monster gain
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 29, 2024, 12:21:25 PMThe problem with an all-in-one RB is what happens when they get hurt (which Barkley did frequently).
Quote from: PSUBeirut on April 29, 2024, 12:32:09 PMRB by committee is a myth in the NFL, by the way. Rarely do RBs come close to splitting carries- there is always a bellcow. I'm assuming Montgomery will be ours and we'll see where the other dudes fill in sporadically.

Quote from: TDToomer on April 29, 2024, 11:48:58 AMI can't believe we area already going there. I care about production and winning. Nabors seems like a good kid. I love how he customized the inside of his suit jacket with pictures of his mentors.
As long as he isn't another Toney.
