Matt Jones is a starting WR for the Jaguars (1 Viewer)

[thriftyrocker]

The real question is how does he compare to other bottom of the barrel sleeper WRs like Courtney Taylor and Rashied Davis. Pros: Good red zone threat, first round physical talent, Cons: Could be a con, team doesn't pass much.

why did this coke head not feel the wrath of Goodell?

most likely because the court case has not been settled yet.once that is then goodell will most likely hand out some punishment if jones isn't remanded to jail at the conclusion of his case.there are way to many red flags on this guy for me to take a chance again on him. possible jail time,possible suspension,lack of historical production and jerry porter etc all make him look very scary in the next month or so.

You can take him with the last pick of a draft and today is the last day before the opener. He is starting. He did look strong and sharp this preseason. He won the job against odds when Jax was ready to pink slip him. It's good sometimes to take a small risk on bigger upside with someone you can easily waive if deserved when the inevitable injuries and bye weeks come. He may just play himself into decent trade bait before Porter's return. In the WR ssshhh thread I said I was planning on spending $1 on him very late in an auction, which is tonight, and I probably will. Seems like a harmless addition to me right now. I'm talking WR6.

i wont argue with that at all nor am i telling anyone not to do so as he is probably worth taking a flier on late in a draft. i just won't be doing it.

The more I think about this the more I like the MJones idea. 1. Start him in place of Marshall or Smith. 2. Hope for a 1-2 TDs in the first 3 games3. Sell high4. Enjoy the imminent bust ensuing over the next 13 weeks.

Was this performance a total fluke or has this guy finally turned the corner? What happens when Porter returns?

You make it sound like Porter is a good WR.

with the jags run blocking going to ####, do you really think they won't be passing much

I'm merely making it sound like the Jags presumably want a return on all that money they overpaid him in the offseason.

there's a catch 22 in there. They'll alo be setting Garrard up for a beating if they didn't protect him well or run well

IMO JDR sorely needs a hot WR. Let Matt continue til he falters. If it's next week, fine but ...it's been a long time since Jimmy Smith. Keep feeding the hot hand til ya figure out who can be "the man" as your #1 WR. I know everyone thinks it's Porter but maybe it's not, maybe it's Reggie or Mike Walker.
