Is Matt Jones worth a flier?


top dawg

Recommended Posts

The FO probably doesn't want to pay for Housh, esp. with his diva-like personna. Antonio Bryant has a bad knee (and possibly a bad attitude), and Matt Jones is a recovering addict who has some skills. Perhaps we should sign the guy at the league minimum and dump him at the first sign of trouble. Do you think he's worth a roster spot at the cost of someone else's opportunity? Or do we roll with what we got? Knowing our FO, we will roll on.

i always liked him for some reason but he never lived up to his potential even before the drug problems showed up.

if he's sober then i'd take a flier on him but he's too big of a risk. we could use that spot on something that has a little more potential to be around for a while.

As a Jaguars fan I got to watch him on a regular basis and he isn't worth it. He doesn't have the same skill set as DJ either. DJ has little speed but good hands. Matt Jones had nice speed with crappy hands. He was supposed to be a red zone threat with his size for us and the only time he was a threat was at the end of games or halves when teams were playing prevent.

Why do people go through the bargain bins filled with bad knees, bad attitudes, and rap sheets? It's not worth the effort. Let our young guys work. We have our WR corp.

1. Smitty - Duh

2. Jarrett - Not much money invested but lots of time. Whats one more season?

3. AE - Is not going anywhere.

4. Brandon Lefell - High pick, high expectations.

5. David Gettis - Worth the risk. Cheap.

6. Charly Martin - Special teams

There. No need to add someone that will hinder the development of our youth.

    • For a 3rd year QB? That flies with the Teppers and makes the HC and GM look like fools.  Their fear is evident. Their careers are tied to making it work, it's ehy they signed on here and they are professionals who knows what kind of a situation they could potentially have on their hands if they are not calculating about popping up Bryce. I call BS to that sir. It's why every QB after Bryce couldn't make any other rosters past a PS spot...at best
    • Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.     
    • Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him
