even though I hate Miami with a passion(before the scandal), part of me was rooting for him but from what I saw of him he's one of those types of people whose only famous because of his last name. he may be a backup one day but will most likely just be a special teamer. of course that is a bit of a shadow to live in.

well, to be fair to him he never had a chance at Miami. He played wiht Clinton Portis, James Jackson, Edgerin James his freshmen year I beleive, and then Frank Gore last year. He came just shy of 1000 yards last year and only played in mabye 8 games at most. And he was sharring time with Tyrone Moss, who will be the next big back to come of Miami. He did well when he had the ball and could prove himself in the NFL. He'll have to prove it though, he wont be given a start next year. Of course if the Bears do draft him they might as well start him. ATrain and Thomas Jones arent exactly elite backs. Could be a good pick for the bears for both PR and for the position.

i agree he does have talent but if he was picked by the bears it'd be more of a pr move and to be honest wouldn't really be fair to him. not only does he have to live in his dads shadow but to do it for the same team his dad played for. and I have a good feeling thomas jones is gonna have a darn good year this year.

A-Train is coming! I love Thomas, he's a great back, just had a slump last year! Jones is also quite a runner, I think Chicago will be much improved, and I think if they still had Jeron they'd be better off.

yes I dont know if I see Lovie Smith being that great of a Coach. He'll definitly need a year or two to learn thast for sure.
