Oh yeah I forgot about the "crowd" you are continually obsessed with that doesn't actually exist. If it makes you feel that much better to attribute one or two opinions to everybody else go right ahead.
You can't ever name or argue with specific people about their opinions so you just make up this "green and gold glasses crowd" to spew your opinions at. For example I don't see anyone pining to give Jones a massive contract yet apparently you are the only one here that's against it so congrats on winning that argument with an invisible non existent person I guess... 😂

I don't understand these absolute statements attributing credit to one single source, it reeks of trying to back up some biased position. Why can't there be a reasonable viewpoint here without getting black and white?
Ted Thompson deserves credit for the balls it took to wait for Jones to get cut rather than give up a draft pick, and of course to go out and sign him asap.
Mike McCarthy and the offensive staff deserve credit for using James Jones correctly and getting noticeably better performance out of him than Oakland did a year ago.
Aaron Rodgers deserves credit for being the best QB in the league and making anyone he throws to look better than they are.
James Jones deserves credit for clearly not being a washed up has-been, performing at this point in the season as well as he has in his career, #2 in TDs, a crazy 18.6 average and a reception:catch ratio roughly as good as Rob Gronkowski.
Now, none of this means I think Jones should be signed to a monster contract, it's only 4 games so it would be foolish to read too much into it. If Jones keeps the solid performance up, I would have no issue with him being signed to a 2-3 year contract at the market rate for a #3-4 WR.
Me, I'm pleasantly surprised, I was expecting him to produce at the level of a 3-4, it's easy to say he's exceeded my expectations thus far, as he's arguably been the Packer's most productive receiver.
