James Jones is the shizzle.

A-Rod throws the ball to whoever is open. If Jones wants the ball, he just has to get open. That's the reason why Tom Crabtree got almost as many balls thrown his way as Driver.

It's strange how you guys seem to have an obsession with people being black or white. I don't live in the US and just don't understand it. I would not like Rodgers less if he's black, or Driver more if he's white. For you guys to hint at, or accuse me, of pulling for a player more than the other because of the color of his skin is absurd. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

I was just stating an opinion in my previous post, and I came to that conclusion from various games and interviews I've seen. Like how he only celebrates touchdowns with a handful of teammates while completely ignoring others. You'll always see the other WRs talk and congratulate teammates after plays, be it the offense or defense, and you don't see Jones doing that. He just gives off this weird vibe and body language that doesn't sit well with me. He also talks about not getting enough opportunities with the ball, which might become a much bigger problem for him in the future, given the emergence of Cobb.

I'll take Cobb than Jones any day. But that's just me. And yeah, I'll probably like Jones more if he's Asian.

I haven't noticed any weird body language from Jones, and his teammates all seem to like him. He did say something last year about a lack of opportunities. I think it was when he was getting some heat for his dropped passes, and he implied that he had confidence that if he got more opportunities he would be more consistent. Not a great statement, but it didn't raise any red flags for me.

As for the obsession with people being black or white, you may want to read up on U.S. history a bit. Lots of hard feelings about that over here. I hear about similar things in many other countries. Where are you from?

Jones is a great player and I do hope he gets more reps in the Panthers game. We have so many weapons it's just ridiculous. Looking at that schedule to the right, who the hell can beat us this year? The Chargers Maybe??? 😄

I mean how dare a middle class white boy like me suggest that the white race has bills to pay from the past.

As for "Packer People" I hate that shit. Jorde Nelson is a better player because he blocks his ass off, not cause he's a white man playing in a white town. James Jones looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane.

James Jones brings a lot of value to the team. As does Jordy. As does Driver, and Jennings, and Finley, and now Cobb. It is a luxury to have so many options. Expect Jones to make some big plays this year. I for one don't care who he celebrates with after a big play -- I just hope the pass doesn't go through his hands.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

From what I saw of the cowgirls they should offer a 2nd round pick for JJ.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
