Zero2Cool said: It was hard to notice with his 4? carries and the defense in the backfield when he got the ball handed to him.
That is precisely my point. Whether its Aaron Jones running behind a line which is being dominated, or Patrick Mahommes getting creamed in the SB (because of 2 OT out for the game), if you don't have an offensive line, interior DL, or LBs, it doesn't matter how great your corners and 'skill players are," a team is already behind the eight ball as the requisite skills are not present.
It simply comes down to capital budgeting, as Earthquake, amongst others noted
I still worry that paying Aaron Jones big money was a mistake, as it will make it harder to keep Adams and Alexander, both of whom I think are more important. Plus, it makes it that much harder to generally fill out the roster with above average-good players.
It will be very interesting to see what happens in the next 2-3 years with the cap, who they manage to retain and who they have to let walk. Especially with all of the weird stuff they had to do to get under the cap this year.
Jamaal Williams was a much better value, albeit not as high of an upside, and a more appropriate choice for keeping around.
