Now I'm not hating on Jones but I frequently find myself wondering why he is ranked #3 above Nelson, who seems like a player of equal ability. Does anyone have any information as to why exactly this is the case?

He can never seems to get open and regularly drops passes. Truthfully I rarely pay attention to his play until he screws up, but his numbers over the past couple of years paints a similar picture.

From what I have seen so far this year, I thought he has made bigger strides. As for why he is ahead of jordy Nelson..Couldn't telll ya

It's based on matchups. If they feel Jones matches up better against the opposing #3 cb, then he gets the nod. If they feel Nelson matches up better, then he gets the nod.

---

I think the extra year in the system might give him the tiniest edge on something that close too.

---

Because the coaches feel he is the teams 3rd best reciever.

---

Plus whichever is slightly healthier. There are many factors.

---

Plus, Nelson is our kick returner therefore he won't play as much on offense.

---

I think Jones is still a little more diverse with his route-running. He seems to work a little better in tight spots than Jordy does. But it's close.

---

With all due respect to Jordy Nelson, who I like a lot, this is why Jones is #3:
1) He's better on deep routes,
2) He's faster,
3) He's tougher. Yes, Jordy is tough. Jones is tougher,
4) He would be a better possession receiver if he'd catch the damn ball.

But alas, don't argue with me. Take up your argument with MM. We just happen to agree.

Remember that other game against Chicago when Jones had two fumbles? That got into his head for a long time. He was just getting over that...
But this loss is NOT on him. We shoulda been up by three TDs by then.
