DEAD wrong. Thomas Jones SUCKS. He's horrible. The Bears are 1-7 in games in which Jones got the bulk of the carries. They are 3-0 in games in which Anthony Thomas got most of the carries.
Thomas has 2 1,000 yard seasons in 3 years (one of those with the worst offensive line I have ever seen). Thomas has a low YPC average this year, but that average hardly says much about a running back (look at Eddie George - potential HOFer and only 2 seasons with an average of more than 4 yards per carry).
Thomas Jones was the reason the Bears lost to Dallas on Thanksgiving - a good running back (like A-Train) would have taken pressure of Quinn and would certainly have rushed for more than 46 yards.
