Saying that Jones is better than Jennings at adjusting to the ball is pretty inaccurate.

I disagree. Don't get me wrong Jennings is very good at it and Jennings is clearly more talented and better overall game. But Jones is great at it adjusting to the ball. That's the best part of Jones game. I really think Jones is one of the at adjusting to the ball in the NFL.

Unless I am wrong isn't Jones the best WR at going up and getting the jump ball in the end zone? Didn't he make a few spectacular catches in preseason last year?
I would think it would take very good hands to make plays like that.

You would be wrong. Driver and Jennings are obviously better at fighting for the ball, and to add some WHAMMY to the discussion, Rodgers said he likes Ruvell for the fade, insinuating that he's at least better than Jones(imo).

I don't like Jones much. He's average at best. He always has a case of the DROPS at the worst times. And he's hurt a bit.

I think the 5 receiver set is great. It worked like a charm in the past. Plus every receiver is capable. They might not be all we want them to be but I think each one is very capable. So why not, I can't wait to see it in game time.

Jones is the best at fighting for the ball before the ball gets there. He shields the balls away from the defense better than anybody on the roster. His body adjustment is at an elite level even for the NFL.

As for the jump ball I'm not sure whose best at that it's not Martin because he doesn't go for the jump ball but goes for the fades.

Have you not seen Jennings play? He makes grabs in double coverage all the time. I literally don't remember Jones doing this, ever. I am fine with you arguing points with facts or actual occurrences, but what you are saying has never actually happened.

I've seen Jennings play quite a bit. I've also seen him make plays in double coverage.

But Jennings is also working with a lot more talent in almost ever way.

And while Jennings does make more plays and better plays it doesn't make nothing about his body control.

Have you seen Jennings box out the defense on almost ever pass to him? I doubt anybody has.

While Jones usually positions himself for the ball is going to him or the ground.

Jones has the best body control of all the WRs. Just because Jennings is a better player doesn't mean he has the better body control.

I'm just going to let it go because it's getting off topic, but in my opinion one of Jennings best aspects is being able to adjust to the ball.

I agree. Just that he's not as good as Jones with it. Heck one of all best aspect of all of TT's WR draft picks is adjusting to the ball. I just think Jones is the best.

Heck does Jennings have a weak spot in his game? Maybe he's not the most physical guy at the line but usually because of his talent he doesn't have to be of the most physical. But other than maybe that does he have a weakness?

Jones has a couple of weaknesses. But I think he's one of the best in the game at adjusting to the ball.
