    Really, it doesn't matter. He is not going to get another dime from the Jets and he may not even be on the team when the season starts. They made that crystal clear the minute they drafted Greene. Pointless to argue about it.

    Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

    What "personal issues" do I have with Thomas Jones? Please, enlighten me.

    I'm well aware of his credentials and statistics.

    I do think, however, that his performance last season can be largely attributed to the aquisitions of Brett Favre, Tony Richardson, and the upgrading of the offensive line.

    TJ knows that his light is fading and that this is his last shot at the big bucks coming off of last year. He knows his career is now on the decline which is why the contract dispute has escalated to the level it has.

    History has shown that that RB's have one of the shortest career lifespans in the league and typically start their decline right around 30. You are going to have a VERY difficult time proving otherwise, statistically speaking.

    Why? How would TJ benefit Sanchez?

    Do you feel he is more of a threat to defenses? Please explain how TJ in the backfield is any more of a threat than Leon/Shonn? A RB does not have the effect on a defense like say, a burner WR or a gunslinger QB does.

    For his leadership on the field? You have a 5x Pro Bowl Captain on the offensive line.

    I have to admit, it takes me awhile on a few of your sentences.
