From the what I saw he was good but I still wonder how much was him and how much was A rod.

 

The fact he played with Rodgers is a big time plus for us.  Rodgers puts a lot of heat on his passes and moves around just like Cam.  Our wrs had a hard time catching his bullets with consistency.  Already the norm for Jones....plus big redzone threat and good athlete.

Yeah. .. and he is good

Not denying that Panthro, I've admired Jones' game from afar... IIRC, we were rumored to have been looking at him in a trade two years ago.

Problem is, he is limited and I believe he has already hit his ceiling. Without looking, for some reason I think he is right around 30 and his skill set just seems suited for a slot guy, borderline #2. It would be an upgrade from what we've had but not a huge one.

It's just hard to imagine whatever we do will negate all the losses we have incurred.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
