You are right. Jones never showed me the guts to go inside and make the tough catches.

If Jones were a "possession" receiver you'd be correct. But he isn't so you're not.

Let's move on please.

We need a stop gap for next year and Matt Jones could be the guy to fill that role. If we throw BQ into the starting role only having 1 receiver to throw to we are guarenteing his failure. We need to do something.

With Jones we are talking about a parole violation for drinking beer not doing coke again. A freash start maybe what he needs, everybody deserves a second chance. He could end up being a pleasent suprise and if not, the guy we draft this year has one year of experince and can step into the 2nd receiver role in 2010.

We might have to wait until he gets out of jail and then serves his suspension the league will give him. After that, he should be just fine. He was already in the league substance abuse program so the this time is an automatic 4 game suspension.

I really don't see a whole lot of teams lining up to give this guy a contract.

LOL you said the only thing they had in common was being white. That was incorrect, they both are 6'5" and possesion receivers. They may stop being similar after that but that does not mean I was wrong. It means you were.

Watch football sometime before you question my knowledge.

Oh, heres some highlights...

I question how many years he has... being a big lanky guy getting hit that hard, that many times. I guess he led the team in receptions.

This is a completely merc type industry and it is still a GAME not applying for the role of a preacher.

I love this guy and think it is EXACTLY what we need, great hands, good speed and big.

@eqrulz101 said:

But it isn't. Jones is a guy with immense potential who's been held back by inconsistent hands, a poor work ethic, and an affinity for white powder. Jurevicius is a slow, sure-handed receiver who's a very good influence in the locker room.

Jones actually had a very good year last year, but he's too lazy and legally-challenged to take a risk on.

6'5" and possesion receiver. Sounds similar.

They aren't anything alike except for the fact they're both white dudes.

I think JewDago is right. Mangini isn't gonna touch Matt Jones with a 10 foot pole.

Exactly what does a white WR have to do to not have message board people slobber all over him? "Well, I know he has two catches in the last three years, and there was that whole genocide thing, but I think I read somewhere that he only helped put people on the trains, so it's not like he did anything really bad. Besides, every team needs a possession receiver."

And you forget Don Rogers?

@eqrulz101 said:

I can't totally disagree with you on this. But I have two questions. What kind of guy is he besides having the obvious addictive thing going on? Is he an asshole? I haven't read much about him.

The second question is the big one...What is the NFL going to do with him? He may not get to play for awhile after Goodell gets done with him.

What exactly does him being white have to do with anything? Nothing. He started to show some signs of being a good receiver for the Jags last year and seemed to be past his drug issues. He was let go for drinking not another issue with cocaine. The Browns being in desperate need for a 2nd receiver should give this guy a look at the least. He can/should be had on the cheap and fill a badly needed spot for us. We cannot expect a rookie receiver to come in and do anything his first year. We need some one with some experience.
