That's some funny chit. All kidding aside, it really does open things up offensively. Is Monty a running back, slot receiver, wide out?

Haha that's perfect Ayn. Except that the numbers bring clarity not fog, illuminating the nature of multi-variate relationships that are otherwise difficult or impossible to understand. They're why (and how) artificial intelligence is destined to control the universe.
Hell let's get it started....They're both dual threats with different strengths, so I don't doubt McCarthy and the analytics team could develop some unique ways for Rodgers to dynamically enhance each other's impact on the team. Depending on field position, game time temperature, defensive alignment and sickle cell blood counts, ...OK never mind then.
Uhhhhhhhh...... Jones run gud.
I have two observations, one that should stand to scrutiny and one that is hard to measure:
1. Jones looks like a running back especially when he is moving through the hole and deciding whether to initiate or try to avoid contact. His decision making is crisp and accurate (plus he can make someone miss). Monty, even when he is going well (and he has a good average per carry), looks less decisive and his decisions backfire more often.
2. Jones runs lower to the ground, Monty is very upright, to the point where he takes contact in his chest rather than shoulder pads.
HOF'er!
Jones reminds me of all those small quick RB's that have historically gashed the Packers defense. About fucking time we got one of them.
Monty is good for disguising what the Packers are doing, since if we can't even define his role, how are defenses supposed to set up against him. But Jones looks like he can be a RB like the Packers haven't had since maybe the pre-injury Eddie Lee Ivory. Lets just hope he stays healthy and doesn't like eating more than running.
Like I said...steal of this draft lol
