RB Situation

What would you think about signing Felix Jones? I still think he has plenty of gas in the tank. I don't think he is going to be too expensive after being a back up to Demarco Murray. I want to see him get another chance.

Comments?

I really like the idea so long as he doesn't ask for too much money. If we could get him along with drafting Lattimore in the 3rd... Our offense would be consistently dropping 30 a game.

Not too big a fan of Felix. In my opinion he's a #2 type back like Jacquizz and we need to be looking for a replacement for Turner. I'd like to see the Falcons pick up a back in the third round or later to be the between-the-tackles back.

Like DeAngelo Williams, he could be a good stopgap, but I wouldn't count on him.

only thing Felix has that i like is his speed. other then that, no. injury prone and has fumbling problems from time to time. Reggie Bush would be a better option if we are gonna go that route thru FA. still rather draft a RB (Lacy/Bernard...etc)

If Run DMC is really on the trade block, I wonder what it would take to get him

Don't trust him to many injurys and he needs a above average offensive line to succeed just like Turner, we need a guy that can make things out of nothing and succeed with a bad o-line if need be!

Draft a young RB. Free agency, acquire a db or te.

Yeah Felix is just not a #1 RB. He can't even stay on the field. JQuizz is better than Felix is at this point. I think we go to the draft for a RB. None of these FA's impress me enough to take a chance.

Draft a cheap RB with less mileage(not Montee Ball)

No to Felix Jones. No to Deangelo Williams.
