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.
