Default Help settle a FF argument

Team A has Thomas Jones and is trading for LenDale White.
Team B has LenDale White and is trading for Thomas Jones.

Who is getting the best of this trade?

The fact that this is currently 2-3-3-3 means that I question the forum's value in answering this question.

Jones will probably be back earlier than Benson, and we know that whoever ends up as the primary ballcarrier for the Bears will put up yards. I'm hesitant to hitch my wagon to the Titans as a general statement, and even less so to White. He seems to be arrogant and lazy, and he also seems to be pissing off his teammates. Tons of teams passed on him (twice), many of whom needed a big running back. For a guy with his track record to get no sniffs for so long should trigger some alarms.

I like Jones much better in this deal, barring any news coming out that either Benson's the clear #1 in Chicago or that White is the clear #1 in Tennessee. However, if you get points for pounds above ideal playing weight, homophobia, pissed off teammates, and man breasts then LenDale's the obvious choice.

keeper considerations matter as well, but as a bears fan the coaching staff has tried to make it seem like it's benson's job to lose.

In short, I dunno.

I would rather have Jones. Feel like there is a better chance of him seeing more carries at this point. Plus there is the chance he gets traded to the Jets and is the man there.

I'd like to know how someone can say it isn't close one way or another.

Very interesting trade. My prediction is if Jones doesn't get traded, he will inevitably get back his starting job if Benson can't hack it.

If Brown gets traded, LenDale White will most likely start.

Team B and it's pretty close.

you have a point that I hadn't considered Brown being traded giving White the starting job, this conteracts the upside of Jones being traded, but I still give Jones the edge
