Jacoby Jones signs with Chargers

[panthers55]

Jones will be 31 in July and really is only a specials team guy. Why pay a premium for a guy whose career high as a receiver was 50 reception s for 562 yards and that was In 2010. I,would,rather have a receiver who can return kicks and punts than a returner who can catch a few balls. If all we need is a returner we can get Dwayne Harris for cheap.

Have you considered that he is going to play hardball with the Panthers because he feels a certain amount of disrespect for not getting what he thought that he should have the first time around?

I can easily see him balking at what he considers a low ball offer this time. You know, money at many times is equated to appreciation, or lack thereof.

Plenty of teams balk at NE and SEA. Still does not mean they don't get the job done. If Ginn wants money let him chase it somewhere else. He's not the only player that can return.

Jones is good. No need to start taking down on him just because he didn't sign with us. We definitely could have used him

He is good at ST. Let's be real Ginn is more of a WR than Jones and that's not saying much. I would take Torry Smith over both and he will only cost a few mill more.

I don't agree with that.  I think Jones is a much better receiver than Ginn.  JMO.

 

I won't cry myself to sleep over it I know other options are available.  No biggie.

The kubiak effect can be misleading.

No argument here. I have said that we should raise our expectations and move beyond Ginn. All that I would prefer him to do is return, except for maybe an occasional four receiver set. Ginn is a convenient Band-Aid in my eyes.

For 2 yr/5.5M I'm good with this signing provided his return game stays strong and we get somewhere around 400 yds receiving. We've been pretty meh in the return game for a while. Jones' signing likely means Eddie Royal will be moving on.
