Jones was thrown to 60 times last season. That averages out to less than 4 times per game. NFL.com play-by-play lists exact times of each play, so it should be a rather trivial issue of fast-forwarding to each play and watching them.

I'm downloading the first game now and I'll report back on what I see. I'd like to make a montage of all the balls thrown to him. Anyone have recommendations for easy-to-use, free video editing software?

I could be wrong, but I remember more of the drops coming in the first half of the season. Then again, maybe it was easier to forget the drops when they were winning.

BDota, behind my post was the thought that as the offensive line is shored up, the number of drops will decline. I should have made that more explicit.

However, I can't seem to open the file.

Cannot open the file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.

If you downloaded the file, try downloading it again.

The Bengals game works, but apparently these files are just highlights, so that isn't too helpful for this purpose.

James Jones does make a couple of nice catches in the Bengals game, though. 😉

I thought Jones dropped alot of balls, but people told me it wasn't true and he had great hands. I remember watching against the Bears with Brett at qb and Jones dropping like 3 balls that game and fumbling 2 more. But like I said people swore on here he had great hands.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

This team has always been undisciplined under McCarthy. I would expect the drops/penalties to continue as long as he is the coach.

Which is just maddening. I understand that some penalties will flow just from the rough and tough approach that McCarthy takes, but it's damn aggravating.

Ouch. And here I was adamantly defending Jones earlier as our #3 WR.

Half a year more of the dropsies and he'll drop to #4.

The other thing is I remember Driver dropping a lot of catchable balls. He's usually very sure handed, but I think he was often focused on running after the catch too much in '09.

Hope this issue gets resolved in '10. Dropping 46 balls is unacceptable, as are our penalties, as is not going for the throat when our opponent is near death. Things to improve, MM.

It was a fluke year. These were all easy catches, but everybody was dropping them.
They used to say it took a year for new WRs to get used to catching the ball from our old QB, just because of the way he threw, which was very hard. There could be an adjustment period because of that, but damn. This is AR12's second year. They've had plenty of time to get kopacetic.
I just put it down to flukeyness. Our WRs are too good to continue dropping that many.

well said nerdmann, there were more than a handful of catches that seemed easy for their intended receivers.. I'm just hoping they focus a little more on this stuff in training as I believe the Pack is built on the foundations of our passing game. They have been running the ball way too much in my opinion. And the penalties! what is up with that?!

Several weeks ago I walked into the Fairbanks FedEX receiving center by the airport to pick up a package, it just so happened that all the delivery drivers were getting back at that same time. Turns out that one of the gals was from Kewaunee, or somewhere near there.. I asked her what she thought about Rodgers and she said she didn't, she said that she moved on to the vikes with Favre... needless to say, it was the most irritating conversation I have experienced so far this year. I don't understand how you can be a fair weather fan to your own kin!

    beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
