I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, am I the only one who would like to have a combo of Bush and KJ? Did you guys see him play last year? No one can deny the fact that he's been injury prone but so are alot of players. Look at FA this year, how many times did we see teams taking a risk on players with a history of injuries. Hell we picked up Dan "Rocky V" Morgan for the love of God. What's so funny is that people say no to KJ due to injuries and then turn around and say that they hope the FO brings Deuce back. I don't see the logic in that seeing as though since Jones came into the league in '04 he has started in more games and scored more TDs than Deuce.

None of this KJ talk really matters though because we would never sign him. A guy with that kind of talent will get paid well and we already have alot of money invested in our backfield. It would be too big of a risk to sign a young fragile RB to replace an old fragile RB. Having said that, I think the Lions will regret letting him go. There have been quite a few RBs who had some injury problems early on that were able to come back and have productive careers (i.e. T. Davis, F. Taylor, J. Lewis).

I think he is worth signing.

"Injury prone RB" is now redundant. Who can actually play 16 games anymore? Defenses are too strong and fast for 95% of RB's to survive a season. KJ's o-line and coaches have not helped him at all.

I'd rather sign him and draft Ellis than look at Mendenhall or McFadden
