D-Will vs. Maurice Jones Drew


Recommended Posts

So my brother is a jaguars fan for some unbenounced reason, and he constantly brings up the argument that Maurice Jones Drew is a better back then D-Will. Now, ill give Jones Drew props. The kid is a good back. But he is imo, nowhere near the calibur of back that D-Will is.

So I bring the debate here because he insists that there are people out there besides jacksonville homers, that will agree with him.

Let the roasting begin!

How many touchdowns did Deangelo have compared to Jones-Drew?

How many yards did Deangelo have compared to Jones-Drew?

What was Deangelo's YPC compared to Jones-Drew's?

How many 20 and 40 yd. runs did Deangelo have compared to Jones-Drew?

How many wins did Deangelo's team have compared to Jones-Drew's team?

I think I've made my point.

I'm sorry, I love DW but saying they aren't close is a joke, and trying to compare what each other did last season is a even bigger one, the Jags last season had just about everything that could go wrong go wrong even before the season started. they're o-line was in shambles when compared to ours it's almost laughable.

Jones-Drew IMO has the total package, he may not have the explosive ability DW does but he has more power certainly.

I think they are both about just as good but for very different reasons

Next season will prove who is the better RB...both have 3 years in the league. Dwill- 2700yds 5.1ypc 23TDs 600 yards receiving 18 games started.

MJD- 2500 4.8ypc 34TDs 1400 yards receiving 4 games started.

Only a COMPLETE homer could distinguish the better back...as far as im concerned this season should prove it.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
