Whatever, had Jordy not gone down, Jones would have been cut by the Giants and an afterthought. Can we please give credit to the Green Bay system and its all world quarterback?

So imo JJ deserves credit.

Yeah, credit is fine, but like you said - he isn't really open very much. And when the playoffs roll around and defenses tighten up, is Jones really going to be averaging 18 yards a catch, or is he going to be shut down because he's really not that good? The kind of guy that gets cut from bad teams?

In my opinion the Packers made a choice between Nelson and Jones a couple years ago. Kind of ironic Jones is back to take Nelson's place while he rehabs.

If Dakota had it his way at the beginning of the season, the Packers would have White, Pinkard, or some other inexperienced receiver on the roster instead of Jones. Just remember that when you read his take on Jones.

Nelson
Cobb
Jones
Adams
Monty

That would of made one hell of a depth chart...

It is a bit odd to see the Giants cut Jones and then pick up Miles White. Their loss is our gain.

That's fine! Can we please not have all the green and gold glasses crowd pining to give Jones a monster contract at the end of the year please? There was a reason he was allowed to walk a few years ago.

Would it be all right with you though, Steve, that I can have my own opinion on Jones; or do I have to join the G & GG club with the rest of you? Thanks man!

Unfortunately that hasn't been the case. Boykin was a failed experiment, Adams has yet to prove he can be that guy for a season. Monty is looking good and might be the first WR since Cobb to actually develop and become a viable WR.

Letting Jones will likely be one of the biggest player mistakes of Teds tenure.

Not at all. Look at who the Giants had at WR. Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz, Ruben Randle. They had 3 legitimate starters. and like most teams, they fill the bottom of the depth with youth that has potential and that can contribute on ST. White they could dump on the practice squad, jones they couldn't.
