James Jones!

[PA Pack Fan]

Jordy Nelson had four catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. Yeah.....he sucks.

How many drops?

Jones is a tease. Flashes of brilliance sprinkled with liberal doses of stupidity. And he's been around long enough now that it's never going to get corrected.

James Jones = Robert Ferguson...

He is a good receiver...................ducking................





He is just inconsistent. He is always is position to make plays, and a lot of times he makes then, but like everyone has said he loses focus. If he wants a lot of money in the offseason I will not be sad to see him go, but if he comes back cheap I would still take him until we find someone better.

This is where I'm at with him now.

Lets not forget about him quitting on the route last week that created the INT at the Pats.

James Jones = Robert Ferguson...

Not really. Ferguson was a tease for all of 2 plays a season. James Jones is a tease for 2 or 3 plays a game. He is far more consistent than Ferguson ever was.

The issue with Jones isn't his talent. It isn't his physical tools. The what goes on between his ears. How he gives up plays and magically because of that it ends up in a pic. How he always turns his head up field before the ball is fully in the cradle (leads to a lot of his "bobble catches"). Yet, despite all this, Jones is not a bad #3 option. He can make plays, we've all seen enough of him now to know that, but he can't be relied upon all game, which is why he can't ascend Driver to the #2 spot. THe two catches Driver had in the game epitomize areas that Jones struggles with - effort plays.

The one handed left hand grab on a bad throw? Not sure Jones woulf of tried to extend for that. hte diving catch between defenders? Again, effort play and great concentration. Jones is great at catching the high point over shoulder ball just out of the defenders reach, but he doesn't like to make the effort grabs Driver excels at. That is what holds him back. That, and thinking he doesn't need to go 100% every play.

He is what he is. Not a horrible #3 wr, but not consistent enough to be in the top 2. He is good where he is at. The problem he is doesn't think #3 is good enough. Doubt he comes back when his contract is up if we still have Driver on the roster.

Spoiled much people? JJ won't be in the probowl anytime soon but the guy has serious talent. That said I wouldn't mind benching him against the Bears next week...

Yeah, what he said...
Jones will test the FA market and someone will pony up some big $ for his potential/flashes of brilliance. TT knows better and will not come close to matching it.

The worst part about yesterday's game was the bobbling. Every goddamn ball he did catch bounced off his hands first, then he found the mental will to secure the ball afterward.

My take. 2 years ago people on this board were telling us we had the best receiving corps in the NFL. Now, JJ is better than he was then, Jordy is better than he was then, and suddenly we suck because he makes some "poor concentration" plays. He is what he is....a very good talent who is borderline #2, but not quite there yet.

[sheepshead]

On a happier note how 'bout Drivers catches? Damn those gave me some warm and fuzzies.

Fumbles and drops get you beat in close games, but that's the coach's fault, so I guess you keep Jones. If fumbles and drops were the player's fault, then I'd say you draft a replacement and move on from Jones. Trade him if possible.
