Really?
Statistically Charles actually converted 3rd and short very well in 2010 and 2012. Much better than the 'power' alternative. Jones probably got 70% of those carries in 2010 and converted at about half the rate of JC in the same situations. I think there's a stereotype against him because of his size. I think he's a lot like Marcus Allen in that he finds small lanes and tends to fall forward enough to get the yard.
I think our interior blocking has been hot garbage this season and he has obviously struggled in those same situations.
