James Jones!

[MadtownPacker]

Seems like what the argument comes down to is JJ a great, good or ok #2 WR. He is not a true #1. He is a good #2 when focused. He is a great #3 but wont be willing to settle for that cash. He can and does bring more to the table then JN so that is why I expect more from him. Plus he is from Cali so I want him to stick. He is also a real cool guy the one time I talked with him.

In other words he is gone regardless unless he has a sick playoffs like Fitzgerald did in '08. TT would have to show him some love. No not that kind.

I was very disappointed in Jones today - he dropped two, one being a potential game-clincher. Instead, Jones clenched his sphincter.

When his contract comes up, let him go.

I'm still pissed at him for fumbling in that first Bear game in week 3!! If Mr. Butterfingers had carried the damn ball in his outside arm we win that freaking game. Didn't he fumble against the bares last season too?? :-[

If TT really liked Jones, wouldn't he have resigned him already? That's TT's pattern, isn't it?

Regarding Jones' play, I think those turtleneck shirts he's wearing are cutting off the blood supply to his brain. Maybe with a normal shirt and circulation, he might think more clearly and run better routes, catch more balls, and hang on the damn rock when the game is on the line.

really going out on a limb there, aren'tcha?

James Jones is a playmaker

Too bad he makes just as many plays for the other team. But I guess if that's what makes a "playmaker" in your book, then he's a PLAYMAKER!!!

a few years ago at the PR game in Lambeau when they knocked us off Jones fumbled twice and we lost both

James Jones right now is half the player he could be. He seems to be very good at getting the right position for the QB to get him the ball, but then doesn't have the soft hands that could make him REALLY good. I don't know if it's his focus, or what, but he is also insecure with the ball from time to time.

Jordy had a lot of yards against NYG, but don't forget that 80 came on one play. On another play he was careless with the ball and allowed NY back into the game.

I think both are good number 3's, but at this point neither is ready to jump up to a 1 or 2. Both need to spend the offseason seriously training to see what they can become.

People do this with players all the time. It took 5 years for people to like Tramon Williams. It took until he became one of the best CB's in the game for people to like him, yet a guy like John Kuhn who's a solid fullback, but much less important ot this team is loved for his effort and averageness. Blah.

James Jones shows flashes of dominance with no more inconsistency than Donald Driver. I think Jones has probowl potential. Make him our #1 target and he's a 1200 yard per season, star WR.

Driver has had a shit season and all people remember is the two good plays he had like he's been Mr. Reliable for us. Jones had a down year with a knee injury and to everyone here, he was just being himself. Jones has a superstar play and everyone things he lucked into it and and was lucky he had a slower safety chasing him because there's no way it was anything but luck that he had an 50 yard TD run after the catch.

Jones is a better player than Jordy because he's better at getting open and better with the ball in his hand and just as reliable catching. It's faulty perception and that's it that makes Jones a bad player.

Then explain George Koonce, the first KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON(CE) chant I ever heard. They are chanting it because he is limited and its exciting to see him do something noteworthy. And its fun to chant that name.

Try making a single syllable, loud and carrying chant out of Tramon Williams. He should find some buddies to start a Moon nickname movement on Twitter. That chant would work.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Come on. If Kuhn's name was Krzyzewski, I'm sure the fans would be shouting "Kryyyyyyyzzzzeeeeewwwwskkiiiiiii." Try it, it really rolls of the tongue.

[Tony Oday]

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN NNNNNNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Not that tough But third person talking, dropped balls when they could go for six and wrong routes that DO go for six (insert Bud Kilmer "FOR WHICH TEAM!") keep the fans from doing that.

I don't hate James Jones, but if we release him, I won't miss him.

[Tarlam!]

No offense but your not black nor a NFL player. This is more than a game to these players, its their job. They can't afford to take a play off based on their opponents skin color. These guys watch game film all week long so they know exactly what they are in for. Now what you just wrote might be true in the real world but when it comes to professional sports you can throw all that out the window.

None taken and you're right, I'm not black and only in my dreams am I the greatest TE to ever have not played the game! I accept your arguments in general and I don't maintain black DBs take plays off. I do maintain they unconsciously assess situations based on prejudices. As we all do. Those assessments have an impact on what consciously occurs. Ask any psycho-therapist. No amount of film study will change that. Ask any pscho-therapist.

The fact is, if they've been superior to white WR's all their lives, which most likely they have, they have a very strong prejudice that guides them.

This is how I feel too (although that rotating "G" is driving me nuts). It'll take a high draft pick to replace him, which I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Thompson use.

Maybe Tramon can just change his name to "Tramoon."

Stopped the G for you.

That's what I would like to see as well.
