Why is James Jones the #3 Reciever?· Page 2

Ha, NOW everyone gets on the Jordy bandwagon. I've been down on Droppy McFumbles forever.

It only took him costing us a game(a lot were to blame but that sealed the loss) for people to fucking open their eyes.

I actually stated the thread before the game last night. As far I'm concerned the Packers have needed a third WR since 2008.

I thought James Jones had done excellent job this year... until that fumble. But one fumble isn't enough to crucify a man though. He's our 3rd best WR, that's why he's our #3 WR.

This is a placeholder

What is all this about fumbling? I can't remember him fumbling until last night. I was talking about his general production and pass catching.

James Jones gets YAC in situations that none of our other WRs can, imo.

He is the physically strongest WR we have. That aspect doesn't show up on a stat sheet, because he is not the best YAC receiver, he is the best for those "tough yards" and "tough down-and-distance" situations.

His fuck-up was expensive, to be sure, but I still trust him, and I bet Rodgers does too. He looks like a load to bring down, and combine that with his very good elusiveness, he is a great option when defenses are keeping the receivers "in front of them."

He is our 3rd best receiver, and for me-- It isn't nearly as close as many of you seem to be indicating, or I'm inadvertently watching the wrong football games or something.

Agreed. I was about to say that he's taller than Jordy too...but I checked, he's actually 2 inches shorter! However, he plays like a TE with his strength and how he uses his body,very physical, yet is very elusive.

No doubt the fumble was a big fuck up, should have switched to right hand too...but despite 1 VERY stupid play, I still think he's been having a very solid season!

He made 2 crucial mistakes after the catch. He didn't tuck the football "high and tight" and he should have tucked it under his outside arm. Those moves should be natural since it taught from pee wee league on up.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

We all know what he "should have done" on that play--

Has anyone gone back and looked at it---hopefully with the sound off from what he "should" have done from the announcers-who-(I noticed this because of my superior observational skills, lol-- were NOT on the field....

Did he have the TIME to switch that ball to the outside arm? I seem to recall that they were ON HIM---and he was trying to get that 1st down, and further, had just shook off some arm tackling action when he got closed upon again...

I could be wrong, it's what I sort of remember.

I wasn't drinking, so my memory of it is easily suspect...definitely outside my normal mode. :tongue3:

This.

People underestimate just how tough this guy is. He reminds me of Sterling Sharpe.

Take a look at Jones' neck.

Now, that fumble, he should have put his other hand on the ball and driven forward for several yards. Mental error. WR Coach needs to have a talk with him about that.

When Driver retires, Jones will be our next Driver. He'll get us those tough yards that we take for granted Driver getting.

Jones can also burn defenders deep. Packer fans seem to forget that. Hey, I like Nelson, but he doesn't get the separation Jones gets deep.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
