I have to say, I dislike Jones as a WR, but this is a great teammate move. The football world is all about QBs being dicks and yelling at their WRs\Linemen, so this could have been a time for JJ to play the victim or make a public plea for Aaron to not do that on TV,etc.

But he didn't.

He said "it was my fault, we hate turning the ball over, we show our emotions, and we move on try to win the game."

Classy move.

Jones has pretty much always said the right thing since he has been on the team. Though this is twice, that I can think of that he cut off a route and resulted in an INT. The other was when Flynn was under center.

This last time, I can excuse him. The defender had his route defended as well as possible. He was standing right were the ball was suppose to go. Most Jones could have done in that situation is try to run the DB over and hope for an PI or illegal contact. The ball never should have been thrown anywhere near Jones on that play.

The other, there is no excuse. It was a slant. Rule 1 when running a slant, NEVER cut off the route.

Gotta love that move by JJ, real classy. Really makes Finleys agent Baratz look like a dickhead...give him a sweatband so he can cover up his circumcision.

I loved Mike Sherman as a person. Hated him as a GM. And never forgave him for punting on 4th and 1 to seal up the Eagles Playoff game. But as a person, great guy. Bleeds Green and Gold.

JJ may be in that category for me. Great move. Seems like a classy guy. But drives me nuts on the field.

I was pulling for him. HUGE fan of his in 2007. He reminded me so much of Sterling Sharpe.

It's stuff like this where I have to root for the guy. He's definitely Packer people.

agreed. great move on his part. If he has an issue with AR let them go talk in the locker room and work it out. As I said in another post it is amazing that the qb never throws to the the wrong route it is always the receiver who is blamed for running the wrong one. go figure.

I really did want to root for JJ though. I was one of the guys defending him last year up until later on in the season when the drops got to the point of the straw breaking the camel's back.

I sometimes think that JJ belonged with Favre. Those two had a strong chemistry. Wish we traded him for Berrian. Berrian and Favre didn't click at all and wouldn't mind having a one-dimensional speedster. I'm sure 🇲🇲 could have given opposing DCs headaches with Berrian.

This is a Super Bowl or bust team. They all need to be on the same page.

Skip Bayless is a boring version of Andy Kaufman.

Bayless must have been DROOLING for the chance to slam Rodgers. Isn't this the same guy that said Tebow was the better quarterback last season? This guy has consistently taken issue with Rodgers. I'm willing to accept that Brady might be a better leader simply because he has been doing it longer and has won multiple championships. But P. Manning and Brees? No. I'm almost completely confident I have seen Manning and Brady jump on players multiple times. Perhaps Manning might have a slight edge on Rodgers but that's mostly because he has been doing it longer and has naturally enjoyed a greater amount of volume of success as a result. After Brady, it's a wash. Moreover, it's impossible to compare players at such different points in their career.

Did Bayless really go on and slam Rodgers for his commercials? Has he not seen how many commercials Manning is doing right now? That guy is a complete idiot who really only says things to stir the pot in an attempt to get ratings. His "evidence" is completely laughable. Really Bayless, you think Rodgers will become a bigger Diva than Favre EVER was? And what exactly leads you to that conclusion? What a completely joke. All players get mad at times, as we all know via the infamous Manning/offensive line 'fight' several years ago. It means nothing as long as the players move forward. I hope the media enjoys the ratings it receives from this non-story, because that's exactly what it is: a non-story. Perhaps if it was another observation in a trend, but at this point, it means little to me.

I thought the slam on Aaron Rodgers for the commericals being played again from last year was hilarious. Because, you know, Aaron Rodgers dictates how often and when the commercial airs. Thus, he's full of himself because of the commercial airing this year, that also aired last year!

For the record, the Vikings didn't lose against the Saints in the '09 CG because of that Favre interception. It was because Favre did the Sears commercial. [sarcasm]

Wow. Bayliss is a complete idiot. I don't think you can find that many people who are both knowledgeable about football and intelligent who don't at least put 🇦🇷 in the top 3 QBs of today. I'd rank him as #1. Easily. And that's despite several QBs who will be first round Hall of Famers currently playing (Brady, P. Manning, and Brees).

Skippy is a tool's tool. I have never liked one single thing he has said. He wants to the a shock jock only he is a joke.
He was a joke when he was at the Chicago Trib. He has never changed. I don't care for most Chicago teams and he disgusted me with his stories. Circulation increased the day he left. [sarcasm]

Skip Bayless is a tool.. he goes against the grain for the shock value to stay relevant. It is overtly apparent in just about every discussion, from a marketing perspective it is brilliant. Either that or I give him too much credit and he is just plain ignorant. Either way, for the common fan of sports.. he is a tool.

Back to topic.. Jones understands the game, Rodgers earned his keep long before he won a Superbowl. He earned it in how he developed and how he handled the exit of the last starter. From there he has just cemented it by staying grounded and continuing to grind it.

And that has nothing to do with him being the QB.. it has everything to do with him as a person and teammate.

I would still like to see someone go off on Rodgers though.. the next time he leads a WR into a hit. Just to drive home that QB's are just another guy upon the roster. lol.

QB's are difficult to get angry with though because they are so excellent by nature. You got hit? Well, you probably ran the route wrong. Deal with it. You had to extend your arms to make the catch? Well, you probably didn't get enough separation on the defender for the QB to have a larger throwing window. Deal with it.
