Would you rather have Aaron Jones or Josh Jones

But is it a year too late with Jacobs?

I think he's still got something left. This was last November 26.

Interesting comparison in the link below. Jones has better metrics but is almost 4 years older than Jacobs and has missed games. I also think the Packers offense & O-line is much better than the Raiders and Jacobs will benefit from it.

Stats often don't tell the whole story. I believe AJO is the superior player and so does everyone else.

Such a mamón!

Let’s see what this guy thinks…

Maybe not everybody.

I think if you're going to give your RB1 18 touches a game, Jones will be better. If you're looking to get them 22+, Josh Jacobs is more likely to survive the season. Doesn't sound like much but it's 60 more touches over the season.

Jones is more explosive, but older and less durable. Age and injuries eventually accumulate on a player, and while the milage on Jones is low relatively speaking, he's probably not got much tread left on the tires.
If you're looking to add a player who is likely to get thru a full season and be there in 2025, you probably want Jacobs.

If they can find a Jones-ish back in the draft to pair Jacobs with they will be cooking with gas.

It's a little tricky comparing them because their styles are different. I'll be curious to see how they look in their new offenses.

Yeah but that's a bunch of Packer fans. Does anyone really think that Josh Jones, who kind of sucked balls last year, was better than Jones, who was an MVP candidate down the stretch? I do not. Jones is electric. I bet if you asked who is the better player for 10 touches per game every NFL guy says Aaron Jones.

From the business side of things, Jones was injured most of last year and soon to be on the wrong side of 30. The whole contract matter is unpleasant, but that’s the GM’s job.

If Jones was worth more than $5-6M, then why did he jump at the Vikings one-year offer? Because Rosenhaus found out no one else was willing to pay him more than the Packers offered.

And by the way, he had to know he would never see the end of contract values that keep getting thrown around. I knew that when he signed the contract.

How the fuck can anyone take you serious when you keep saying “Josh Jones”? It wouldn’t be so bad if you were trolling but you’re actually serious and it is very sad. Please let us know if you need help we are here for you. If not then get the name right fucking clown!!

What about the other 10+ touches?

Are you the one calling him that?

I’m talking about Partial, that freakshow is starting to make me think Josh Jones is a Packer.

10 touches you're probably right. But most teams, including Packers, want more than 10 touches from their #1 RB. And Jacobs can give you 20+ a lot more often than Jones, especially at this point in Jones' career.

Probably truth to this. I can't say what I would have said because the thought never crossed my mind before we signed Jacobs. I can tell you I really liked Jacobs and was worried about Jones durability and looming drop-off due to age.

[texaspackerbacker]

If you wanted the poll to lean toward Aaron Jones, you shoulda worded it different. It's kinda a slam dunk that Jacobs will be better going forward - therefore, he gets the "homer" vote. If you said "who has been the better RB over the past whatever, 2, 3, 4, 5 years?, then we homers would probably say Jones despite Jacobs' glowing stats a couple of those years. Who you are playing with has a LOT to do with it. Jacobs doesn't need to be a workhorse RB like he was with Oakland. He will hopefully just be a change of pace to possibly the best passing game in the league with the Packers, like Jones was but healthy and available for more of them.
