Packers don't tender James Jones (making him an UFA)

lol wasn't James Jones a guy many thought would be included in a trade for DWill in the middle of the season? now people don't want him?

Exactly! Now everybody is trying to convince themselves that the Panthers are set at WR. Smitty is on the down side of his career. It's obvious he's disgruntled and there's no guarantee he'll be here next season. Gettis had some flashes. But it's a bit early to say they are the answer.

This is the truth. Those receivers from the Packers have Aaron Rodgers throwing them the ball. How is it that it seems every receiver on that team looks like five-star talent? The truth is it's not that James Jones is a good receiver, but that Aaron Rodgers is a superb QB. We have good receivers as well, and Gettis and LaFell are probably better receivers than James Jones.

Just because you have a really good QB throwing you the ball, doesn't mean he's the only reason your succeding. I think its safe to say had Jones came here last year he wouldve been able to put up 300 to 400 yards.

So what would give you any indication gettis and Lafell are better?

I'd say their size and speed. Gettis may even be a marvelous route runner one day, I saw that potential on his touchdown against the 49ers.

I haven't seen James Jones juke someone like that. (Although I admit I haven't seen much of him)

man during the season everyone would have given their left nut for anyone from the packers WR corps but now we are content with what we have? go figure

but remember that anyone from the packers WR corps looks as good as they do because they have Aaron Rodgers throwing to them. Will Jones be as good with Clausen? Hell, look at the season Smith had with clausen.

Clausen could make Fitz and Andre look mediocre.

    • This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on. 
    • None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.
