I had the chance to trade, essentially, Thomas Jones for Barber 7 weeks ago. I never could shake the fact that Barber never even STARTED, so declined. I thought I had made a mistake when all the sudden Romo and the Cowboys were in the red zone ALOT.
In hindsight, Barber depends too much on the situation (Cowboys in scoring position, Romo clicking with receivers, field position, etc). Not that T. Jones is any kind of world-beater, but in a low scoring game (Romo has been figured out by defenses) Barber is a risky play.
