SportsDay columnist Jean-Jacques Taylor answers a reader's questions about a topic of the day.
Question: I'll admit that I am a Tashard Choice fan, and he looked way better than Felix Jones or Marion Barber during his brief playing time against the Lions. I really believe he should be the main feature back with Felix as a third down/special situation back and Marion as short yardage/goal line back.
What are you thoughts about the use of Tashard?

Jean-Jacques Taylor: I think Jason Garrett has watched these guys practice each and every day for the past three years, and he’s never seen anything that convinced him Choice was better than the other two players. Choice seems like a nice back, and he’s been productive in limited opportunities, but I don’t know that his skill set – he’s good at a lot of things, but not great at anything – translates into an elite runner. But I think he’ll get a chance next year, because Barber might not be here, and Choice can be the third-down runner. That said, there’s not a third-string runner in the league who gets a lot of carries.
