No only that, they take the only decent running back detroit has seen since barry sanders (Kevin Jones) and cut him, outright! Just plain ol cut a first round draft pick that has done nothing but perform when he wasn't injured.
I'm
shocked to hear that come out of a lions fan's mouth. I hate the guy cuz he screws my fantasy teams - i can't even imagine how frusterated i'd be if i actually cared about the team he played for.
Are we talking about THE kevin Jones who has played in at least 12 games/season yet never rushed for more than 8 touchdowns? THE kevin jones who has never had a yards per carry higher than 3.8 since his rookie year?
At times he has played well, but injuries are a factor in this decision. The guy is AlWAYS hurt! he hasn't rushed for 700+ yards in 4 years, how are you, as a lions fan, cool with that?
Although i think Millen sucks, maybe it's time to blow up that team and try again. Take the hefty check that would of gone to kevin jones and disburse it amongst some younger, healthier backs. Maybe they'll get lucky and find a Ryan Grant in a haystack.
