Some quick notes on this because I'm tired, but am addicted to posting
- Last year, Jamaal Charles was 11th in the league in yards (1,120) and first in the league in YPC (5.9) all while having under 200 attempts (190) and only having two fumbles. The dude is awesome and only 23 years old. Hell TBO is older than Charles (not meant to be a stab at TBO, just proving a point at how young Charles is).
- Last year, Charles ranked 4th in DYAR and 2nd in DVOA according to FO. (for a better understanding of DYAR and DVOA, click here)
- Thomas Jones benefited from one of, if not the best, offensive lines in football. Last year the whole left side were starting Pro Bowlers.
- There's no reason to have a two running back set when you;re starter is a stud. Yes, I'm even against Jonathan Stewart (as awesome as he is), cutting into DeAngelo Williams playing time.
- FO says Jones will be Charles' back up (rightfully so), but why sign a guy to a two year deal to that much money just to play back up. With Chester Taylor, he should be taking carries away from Forte because Forte kind of sucks. No one should be taking carries away from Charles
-Therefore (signals overall conclusion), this was an awful signing for the Chiefs.
SIDENOTE: I'm shocked that this post is the first label GOI has ever had for "Thomas Jones"
Jamaal Charles only won the Big 12 100 meter dash in college. He's fast
