They're INSANE for wanting a 2nd round pick, much less a FIRST rounder? Why would they ask for so much for a backup runningback? If Jones is a first rounder, then JA is a 1st overall...
Well to be fair, it was before Jones played great for the Bears last year and helped them reach the Super Bowl.
How funny is it to see the early Blaylock love... Blaylock > Jones i got a kick outta reading that shit cause i was on the blaylock wagon aswell :rofl:
Haha... yeah, everyone is loving Jones now. And the 2nd rounder was a steal for him according to lots of folks. A good call, but we still need to see the payout to know for sure.
lol.....this is old! You called it though, You get my props Toon :up: Its funny how The bears wanted a first for him last year and that was before he had his 1300 yard season, we really got the steal of the offseason. hey, did'nt we pick up Barlow a couple weeks later?
Didn't see this thread last year but I'm amazed so many people were against the idea then. He had over 1300 yards and 9 TDs on '05.
Now you can resurect this thread a year from now for the second time. See if the TJ haters which became lovers become haters again by then.
Actually, though I'm too lazy to do it myself, I'd love to see what was said about the picks we received as compensation for Herm and JAbe at the time, as compared to now.
Oh my god... :lol: what one season can do eh? I can't believe I typed that!! :lol: But Blaylock DID have high expectations at the time.
This is a funny thread, prior to the trade Jones was my favourite NFL player not on the Jets, I am quite weirded out because usually when I like a guy they go to a rival, that goes for NFL or NHL
And I really wasn't bringing up the thread for props.....I was thinking about it and wanted to know what people said back then about the thread and I was shocked to see so many people who didn't want to do it. I like what don said. Bring it back up in March and see what kind of response it gets.
