This is not news. Of course Rodgers is going to support his teammate. It would look bad if he failed to do so. Thankfully Rodgers doesn't try to play GM, like that guy before him did.

Yes, he did. Maybe that surprised some people, but it didn't surprise me. Jones is a very good #3 option, especially in tandem with Nelson. Any QB would be happy to have a #3 WR who has enough talent to be a #2.

Speaking of drops, can someone post the numbers for drops again?

Am I the only one who remembers seeing Jordy Nelson have a lot of drops as well? I'm not justifying Jones' drops -- but if you have a choice between two people who have lots of drops, why would you take Nelson over Jones?

(other than you have another year of Nelson being cheap and Jones likely needing more dough, which of course is always a non-football argument.)

The thing is, he feels that he is a #1 receiver. I agree that he is a #3 on our team and a #2 on other teams, but if he plays the same on another team as he did last year for the Packers, he'll remain a #2 or higher.

I remember one against the Eagles in the post season, that the Packers won. I seen another in the Super Bowl, but it wasn't an easy catch as some think. They say to keep your eyes on the ball and a defender blocked his view. I still think he should have caught it, but the Packers won the Super Bowl as well.

Greg Jennings dropped a pass against the Lions that fell into the hands of a defender for an interception. The Packers lost that game.


I'm drawing blanks for other "big" drops of the '10 season.

I don't mind that some people want to keep him around, I don't even necessarily argue with it. I just feel that unless he plays better than he did last season, he won't be #1 and shouldn't be payed like he is.

They're not big drops because we won the games in which the drops occurred? OK...

I'm a big JAMES Jones fan. Like Wade said, Jordy was droppin' passes, and no one said diddly-squat-shit.

I really, really like James Jones, and hope we retain him.

I want to say James Jones dropped another ball he should have caught against the Falcons?


I dunno, but each of the Packers WR, Jordy, James, Donald and even Greg dropped passes they should have caught.


I really believe the drop against the Eagles in the post season and James Jones fumbles against the Bears over the last few seasons have left an emotional burn in the fans eyes on him. I know I don't want the ball thrown to him against the Bears anymore, lol.
