I hear what you are saying. But in some respects, Barber IS the MoJo type of guy, for this team. And as we saw a couple plays ago, Barber will get negative yard, too, when the defender is unblocked in front of him. I think we just selectively remember the Jones runs more, because Barber is a flashier and grittier runner.
If we didn't have Barber, I imagine that Jones would have a few more touchdowns himself.
I guess I'm just saying that Barber's success shouldn't make Jones' production somehow less good than it is. Jones does a decent job.
