I wouldn't call Julio an elite WR, but rather an unbelievable athlete who plays WR. I would describe Henry the same way.

You're getting into quite a gray area. Wouldn't elite athleticism better ones odds at being an elite WR? Julio is elite bruh. Top 5 athlete and top 10 WR, at worst.

Henry isn't going to go top 10 in the draft and dominate in the NFL. Julio was and is an elite receiver who occasionally drops passes looking ahead of the play. He also makes unbelievably ridiculous catches to make up for them.

Good lord

Maybe what I'm saying isn't clear, because I loved Julio and thought he was a great WR. But I think he could have made a great Safety too, just like Henry has the talent to be a great LB.
Amari Cooper, while a truly elite WR, would not be a good Safety imo.

Most people in the NFL disagree with your assessment.

Exactly. He runs so soft it is ridiculous. Tyren Jones runs how Henry should be running.

With Drake injured, Jones is our best RB.

Am I the only one that likes Fowler getting more snaps??

Fowler runs SO much harder than Henry, it's so nice to see. Once Fowler gets a little bit of momentum, it's impossible to stop him. He will get hit while running full speed and still get about 5-6 more yards.

No. I think our coaches have some a terrible job of rotating RBs this year, especially since Drake went down.

I liked it. I wished would use him more.

Liked Tyren the most out of the 4 RBs we signed coming out of high school. Great vision and feet. Honestly wouldn't mind seeing him getting some of Henry and/or TJ's touches moving forward.

Tyren looks so legit. Many times today I thought he was going to be stopped at the line, but whether it was vision, or burst, or his small size, he ended up making some good yards every time. He just keeps moving, like the Energizer Bunny

That was Henry's first lost fumble

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.......as Jones and Henry bring different attributes to the table.
I will say this........Drake, Henry, and Jones are 3 different types of RBs and probably the "paradigm" on how you should recruit the RB position in order to have players that complement each other.
Very tough for a defense to prepare/scheme for such a trio moving forward in 2015.

Jones attacks the line and once he gets there he has the vision and the feet to shake get up the field and go. Fowler, if he can hold on to the ball is a quick bruiser. Henry is a closer, he can get up the field but his issue is getting to the line once he gets to the second level he's at his best.

Not sure how you could say that as we really haven't seen enough of Jones to make that call. We all thought Henry was the best RB last year after watching a few of his explosive plays. My ranking of our RB's would be
1. Yeldon
2. Drake
3. Henry
The rest all have talent, but just not enough work to really rank them accurately.
