James Jones signing with the Chargers.

I think he could keep up with you Pug. Would be a tight race though.

Good for JJ

It's nuts that it took this long for him to find work. He's easily a top 3 at on 75% of teams

Not sure he cracks the top 3 on most teams; he catches the ball well and provides a nice target if the QB makes the perfect throw but dude is average at best as a route runner and not fast.

With that being said, he's still normally your #1 WR on your fantasy football team.......lol

Ah, the always under-appreciated James Jones!

In each of the past four seasons he has had a personal best: 2012 - TDs (14); 2013 - Longest (83 yards); 2014 - Receptions (73); 2015 - Yards & Average (890/17.8). He has missed just 2 games in the last 7 years and plays injured without saying a word and takes what is given him without complaint or demand. He hasn't shown any signs of drop off.

In spite of that, each of the last three years he has been on the street looking for work.

Using longest isn't really a good choice n my opinion unless it occurs on a TD like Driver had a few years back when he broke a whole bunch of tackles. With a WR, all it takes is a missed jam and a safety taking the wrong angle trying to INT the ball and you have a 75 yard TD.

It wasn't a choice, it was all I could come up with for 2013!

In Jones case, it showed he had enough speed/savvy to go the last 50 yards without getting caught from behind by a DB that was never real far off him.

His 65 yard TD last year showed multiple things;
- he outmuscled the DB to get off the initial jam and get open;
- he had enough speed to get to the five
- he had the strength and smarts to use is left arm to catapult himself to the goal line when he was tripped up inside the five.

An all around play showing strength, OK speed and smarts.
