You should have applied. Your not, "just a guy".

I'm going to love it if this kid comes out and shuts all of these haters up.

Me too.

Well you do have a point there. This is one occupation where there may still be a glass ceiling, though.

The clowns will never show weakness.

Clowns?

See, this is the type of name calling and rhetoric that others have mentioned when discussing the fevered "TT can do no wrong" supporters in here. I don't see the need to call others clowns, idiots, lunatics, etc... but that's exactly what I've been seeing in here all too often lately. That's JSO style posting.

I agree esoxx but this is what happens if you disagree with the majority opinion. No one can find where I've said one negative thing about James Jones, yet because I've weighed in with a little satire, now we get the

"can't wait to prove the haters wrong".

Whatever.

Kid's come a pretty long way considering he grew up in a variety of homeless shelters, living on food stamps.

Is he our 2007 Donald Driver?

Could be, there is some real promise here. Course it took Driver about 4 years to develop.... so it'll take time.

Boo Hoo! If your posts are 95% negative, it doesn't matter that you aren't ripping Thompson tank style. Whatever. Way to play both sides. If Jones sucks, you can say Thompson is terrible. If he does well, you can say I never said one negative thing about him.

How should I read this?

No Moss, No T.O., No KJ, please!

Agreed, we've got James Jones!

I'm calling the "analysts" on ESPN clowns, not the posters.

"Thompson badly needs to upgrade a pedestrian receiving corps behind starters Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, and he could have used a higher pick in that quest. Besides not selecting a receiver in the first round, he decided not to spend his second-round pick, No. 47 overall, on USC’s Steve Smith, opting instead to trade back. Then, with the early third-round pick obtained in the deal, No. 78 overall, he made Jones the 14th receiver off the board in the receiver-rich draft."

Ummm, this was not a receiver rich draft, IMHO. After Mr. Georgia Tech was off the board, I was unimpressed with ANY of the other receivers, in terms of choosing them in the first round. Meachum would've been way overpayed and overhyped had we gone after him. Maybe I'm wrong, it's difficult to say which receivers and running backs will be studs in the NFL. I'm glad TT waits til the later rounds to pick these skill positions, because it's too risky unless a Reggie Bush is out there.

They are saying almost the exact same things they said about Jerry Rice when he was drafted. He came from nowhere, and all the scouts said he didn't have enough speed. Time will tell. At least we don't have to pay him 2.5 million dollars a year because he is a 1st rounder.

RG, you're the definition of the pot calling the kettle black.

Harvey, you'll read it however you choose, and won't be the least bit interested in the explanation, but here goes:

Plenty of people were whining on here after the draft related to the "reach" of James Jones. I, personally, think he was taken a round too high, but, I don't think he was the "epic" reach that the majority opinion was at the time.

When OPF make his comment in frustration of not having a veteran WR join the team, which one could make a claim that we need, I was jokingly pointing out that we got two WR's, and one is being heralded as a reach.

FWIW, I think Jones could develop into a player, but the odds are he WON'T contribute much in 2007. We did need a WR to CONTRIBUTE in 2007, so, we'll see if we've got one on the roster...

The kettle is black, and so is the pot... my point holds true.

We'll see how accurate I am in my predicting. I don't see this as a competitive team in 2007. I could be wrong, and hope that I am.

I'm just tired of having my words twisted and turned and brought back out of context because I don't share the majority opinion. Wait until it happens to you... UNLESS you always have the majority opinion? In that case you'll NEVER have to worry about being a "target".

[retailguy]

So... there ya go Harvey. I've now weighed in on James Jones.

Could be a player, but most likely not a significant contributor in 2007... So, if he fizzles, I guess I can't say I told you so... huh?
