Barber is a more experienced NFL RB than Jones...
BTW you are welcome ImaRounder for fixing your inaccurate statement.
Good all round RB do not go undrafted in the NFL. Period.
I wouldn't say that's 100% true, some slip under the cracks, or just need to be taught better.
Some examples are
Arian Foster
Priest Holmes
Fred Jackson
Isiah Crowell ( I'm sure some will disagree here)
I'm sure their are more but I cant think of any others
not saying Barber is going to be a all time great, but Good all around RB's from time to time to slip under the cracks.
OK...some slip through the cracks...in 20+ years we have 2, Holmes and Foster...I mean Fred Jackson was OK but took about 4 years (various sub-NFL leagues) to get any sort of traction...who waits that long on guys? Crowell wasn't drafted because of off field stuff and was never (still isn't) considered a 3 down RB
So let's look at the 2...clearly win the job as rookies in camp and start the season as starting RB's...Barber is about 2 years late so we can safely say he better be on the Fred Jackson path to relevance.
So sure guys slip through the cracks but Barber's path doesn't seem to be one of those very rare cases...yet. However, gamble away on the exceptions while I gamble on draft capital because that generally gets opportunities sooner rather than later.
Impossible to say a guy isn't good with 3-4 weeks of NFL experience and 12 pre-season touches against starters mostly but for confirmation bias purposes keep on keepin on...you can safely ignore if that changes
Undrafted RBs happen is my point, your point was good backs don't go undrafted when in fact they do.
I can see your very passionate about RoJo, and I wish you the best of luck. he has some positives going for him, young, fast and on a good team with a lot of good weapons so maybe some of his vision flaws will be masked.
But if he's losing to Barber, the arrow isn't exactly point up for Mr. Jones
