There is a sentiment floating about the Packers sphere that while Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon are both talented running backs, the presence of one is harmful to the other.
The case made is that neither back can get into a rhythm because they are rotated too regularly, but is this actually true?
Looking at basic rushing numbers for Jones and Dillon since 2021 -- when Jamaal Williams left for Detroit and allowed Dillon to take on a bigger role – this can be quite easily checked.
Let’s say an even distribution means each back getting between 40 and 60 percent of the carries in a game.
