Well he'll be lucky to make it out of his rookie contract with a job. What is Jones's upside here? Am I missing something, he's inactive now......beaten by a career slot guy + a rooke in Broussard (was he drafted?) ....all on a run-first, second, third team. He hasn't even proved to have the hands to be a RZ monster. I see his upside about the same as Mike Williams of Oakland. Low-catch, perhaps a year or two of decent TD totals. He looks like the next Marc Boerighter. That's the best comparison I can find. People enamored with his size, but he just isn't consistent enough to get meaningful PT. At best, he's a feast or famine WR....and you can find those on the wire in any league.
Why? Seems to me almost anywhere he goes, his value will increase. Or maybe that's the point? Trade after people start to consider him a sleeper?
I'm holding and will continue to. As long as you temper your expectations of immediate impact why not?
I realize you were dealing from depth, but a 2nd round pick alone was more than sufficient. Campbell looks to have a solid future in the NFL. Right now, Matt Jones looks iike he has a better future as an outdoorsman. I think his upside right now is as a redzone/goalline WR.His #'s aren't suddenly going to rise with Gray @ QB....that's assuming he even sniffs the field at WR.----------------He doesn't run good routes, his hands aren't great, and even given his size, he really hasn't capitalized in his RZ opportunities.
I don't know if it is enough. One target a game, even if it results in a TD, is hardly consistent enough to warrant keeping a guy on roster. I do believe in the guy, but I don't believe in Jacksonville and the coaching. He won't produce until he is cut and sent somewhere more conducive.Captain Spaulding said:
I said it wrong. I think that until he gets away from Del Rio, he will not play enough for any value. I think that the clash is because Del Rio believes that Jones nonchalance is his actual attitude. I think that his athleticism could be used better.
Chris Mortensen traded me next year's 1st rounder and Wes Welker for him; he thought it was a small price to pay for "the next Randy Moss."
