Jones-Drew or Pierre Thomas?

I know Jones-Drew is a stud but the Jets defense is quite stout and I imagine they'd let Garrard try to beat them rather than Jones-Drew. Meanwhile Pierre Thomas is going against league punching bag the Rams. Both are projected at pretty equal numbers in my league but I'm just not sure Jones-Drew can get what they are calling for.

I love playing matchups. As long as I don't have to sit my studs.

Of course, if you are cruising along at a 4-5 record and need to take a chance to knock on the playoffs I can see it. But if you are at or near the top you keep playing the guys who got you there, and MJD fits that bill.

So, do you start 2 rb's in your league and if so who is your other rb?

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
