Personally, I don't really care who starts, but I do believe Charles should get 60-70% of the touches between him and Jones. Hell, for all I know, Weis wants to start Jones so that Charles comes in fresh and gets rolling with 10 straight touches when the opposing defense is starting to tire.

That's a great strategy.
I see one small problem with it however.
The defense isn't going to tire if the Chiefs offense is consistently going 3 and out.
