Marion Barber to be a RFA

[b bulldog]

Turner is a much better player than Williams, give me a break.

[Scott Campbell]

Can we really determine how bad our own RB's are until there's a decent run blocking line in front of them?

In 4 years, Turner has one good season worth of stats.

In 1 year, Williams has one good season worth of stats.


This is a classic case of the old (grass is greener on the other side) myth that is perpetuated here every off season.

Turner just isn't the probowl back that everyone here wants to make him out to be. He's a good player. Corey Williams is a good player. The difference is about 40 million dollars that will hold the Packers back from getting better for teh next 5 years.

If Turner were a "much better" player than Williams 7 sack performance last year, than he'd be one of the top 5 RB's in the game. He's probably top 20 (whoopie )

This OL on paper is the same unit we had a year ago. I'm not convinced it's all on the OL. I think our OL and RB's stink up to this point. But last year our RB's seemed more effective with the same OL.

Feels good to have a team that's able to overcome 3.3 yards/carry. Now, if we can get that close to 4 yards/carry, we could do some damage in the NFC.

I'm telling you guys, go to YouTube and watch everything you can on Felix Jones. A guy who's averaging over 10 yards per carry with 7 touchdowns this year, BEHIND Darren McFadden, is phenomenal. He's 6'0" and has 4.4 speed. He's gonna be such a stud.

Jones is a junior. Are you sure he will come out early? Football's Future has him as their #4 RB, but they don't have him going in the 1st round. If he's not going to be drafted early, he could come back for his senior year in the hope of being a top 10 pick.

[RashanGary]

Jones should go into the draft. He's flying up the boards I follow right now. I could see him being a Marshawn Lynch type prospect or higher by the time it's all said and done.

I like that Ray Rice kid from Rutgers. Haven`t seen alot of him, but he is pretty good, and probably wouldn`t have to trade anything away to get him.

[gbgary]

dallas won't let him get away but if they change their mind the PACK should make themselves the only option! it would be a no-brainer.

Sounds like maybe Julius Jones might be available.

yes but i like barber better. he's the type of back the Packers haven't had since Brockington. barber is one of the toughest runners i've ever seen. he's earl campbell-like in that he punishes tacklers.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Everybody knows Barber is better--except Bill Parcells and Wade Phillips. Actually, I suspect they know it also. They just like to throw Jones out there early and then use a fresh Barber later in the game.

Barber will be untouchable. Jones isn't.

I think Jones is a decent player though. I wouldn't give up much for him, but I'd take him.
