Would you rather have Aaron Jones or Josh Jones

[call_me_ishmael]

Man, I just think the Packers got worse at RB AND pissed off one of the greats. This dude is not only a great player but a great leader. I'm sure it will all work out but that doesn't sound great.

I voted Jones. I know it’s a sentimental choice and he’s been hurt a lot, but what a great back and even better human. I was hoping they’d bring him back for one more year so he could retire a Packer - cuz I think it might be his last year.

Plus I don’t know Jacobs from Adam. Maybe he’ll be really good someone on the internet compared him to Eddie Lacey in his prime.

I assume the choice is between Aaron Jones and Josh Jacobs?

I personally prefer a BJ over a AJ any day.

This poll is almost like picking between AntiPolarBear/Tank or CallM/
e/Partial. Very close to call.

I went with Josh. Almost 4 years younger.

[George Cumby]

I went with Josh. Almost 4 years younger.

Same. Not as elusive but a pretty nice skillset.

Let's see the stat line at the end of next season; my money says Jacobs >> Jones.

Without a solid backup, Jones isn't sufficient. Even when healthy, they limit his touches.

[King Friday]

For 2024, Jones. For the three years after that, Jacobs.

[MadtownPacker]

For 2024, Jones. For the three years after that, Jacobs.

What about CMI and APB?

[run pMc]

Josh Jones the former safety drafted by GB, or Josh Jones the OL?

Aaron Jones is better than either of those two.

We'll find out if Aaron Jones is better than Josh Jacobs soon enough.

Man you guys are heartless. Give me AJO all day. Better player, better human.

How do you know he's a better human? What do you know about Jacobs? And 2 years ago, Jacobs was the best running back in the NFL. But I guess I'm heartless for pointing that out.

on paper he's younger. In terms of touches, they are about the same

FIRST OFF, GUTEBAG completely JORDYNELON'D Aaron Jones this year. He wanted him to take a salary cut slightly over 50% of last year, "after" Aaron Jones helped out GB last year by taking a pay cut.

So let's not criticize anybody for holdouts; this was kinda cold.

Tom Pelissori reported this recently after chatting with Jones Agent. Noted it was a real possibility that GB was going to try to make Jones take a significant paycut. Also, Jones, we amicable about taking a restructure; had Gutebag offered a cutback to about 8MIL instead of the 6 MIL range he'd be a Packer.

So instead, we fabricate a 4 year 48 Million dollar contract for Josh Jacobs, who might be a better player and is younger in age but not touches.

But Year 2 of that deal, is for 14.8 Million. Play that back. This is basically a one year deal and then GB goes back to Josh Jacobs year after year to restructure. If that was the direction, we already had a stud RB willing to do that.

And Jones, after we waive him, we only get 5MIL of cap relief. GUTEBAG has veins of ICE.

After the end of season interview, UTEBAG was stupid enough to declare Aaron Jones was the heart and sole of the GB Packers and he would definitely be back with the Packers next season

HE FLIPPED; went cold, and sign a fairly comprable RB in talent, to basically a one year deal. .

Restructure Jones to a 2 year Deal, give him his 8 MIL this year, draft a RB in rounds 1-3, and call it day.

AND, use those Josh Jacobs funds for another safety or LB.

I disagree he was the best back in the NFL. He may have had the most yards or best stats, but that doesn't mean he was the most talented and when you really need to make a play he can do it better than others.

AJO is a special player and the heart and soul of the team last year. I would guess the offense regresses significantly next year unfortunately. We shall see!

Lighten up on the heartless part
