What do you guys think?

Good: 8 receptions for 123 yards and 1 TD.

Bad: a crucial 3rd down drop that could have been a TD, 1 fumble (recovered by us)

With Driver down, Jones became Rodger's number 2 target (after Jennings). My question is, does this game change your opinion about James Jones for the better or worse.

Additionally, does this game change your opinion on Donald Driver (best game this year 3 rec for 89 yards and 1 TD).

IMO, McCarthy should consider giving Jones more looks. He's more dangerous than Driver and should be our future #2. His contract is up soon, so we need to figure out now if he deserves to be paid like a #2 receiver.


btw: I picked this guy up for my fantasy team this week. Responded with 18 pts. I played him, Jennings, and B-Jack this week (looks like I lucked out)!

I was as big of a jones fan as anyone, convinced that he'd be able step up as a #2 (though not sure if he'd be a slot or not). After yesterday, my impression is that he's got tremendous physical skills, and is able get open, but questionable hands (dropped TD, drop vs. jets, fumbles).

I like really Jones, far more than most from what I have read. That is, right up until the moment he opens his mouth.

He is unqualified to do that.

It isn't that he is so especially arrogant or anything, it's just that he is too friggin' stupid to prevent - God knows what- from coming out when he speaks, imo.

I don't think any of us ever thought talent was James Jones' problem. He clearly displayed he has the talent to be a successful WR in this league.

It's his inconsistency that leaves a lot to be desired. Great game yesterday, with the two points you mentioned: fumble and dropped TD pass.

To me, that just makes the inconsistency issue that much more prominent. Sure every WR drops balls, but you'd like to limit those drops particularly on passes that are thrown right into your chest area. Fumbles need to be cleaned up, period.

Him and Jordy do make a really nice #3/#4 combination for us. I do not think there is any question that James Jones should try to be resigned, because he is a talent. I think you just hope that he becomes more consistent, because if he does you've got an excellent replacement for Driver.

He needs to consistently show that he can show up in games and protect the ball. No one doubts how good he can be, he just needs to be consistent.

If the game is on the line, I don't have enough confidence in Jones at this point to throw him the ball.

Hell with the drops this season.. I might have to elect Jordy with the opportunity over the other 3 wideouts.. Driver, Jennings and Jones have all suffered drops early this season.

If Finley's on the field.. he is the set of hands and size I have the most faith in.

Didn't like the fumble or the drop. Concentration issue.

So far for me his positive plays have out weighed his negative plays. Some spectacular catches, needs to work with the running backs to learn how to carry the rock. Was glad to see him switch arms later in the game on the sideline, so he may be able to be coached up for it.

Oh I think Jones is a hell of a player, but he has to clean up his game to elevate himself further up the depth chart.
