    First of all Matt Jones plays way slower than his 40 time which is why making these comparisons are silly. I guess Boldin can't play at all because he ran a 4.7. Actually Washington by these standards is terrible as well because he ran a 4.6.

    What matters is having the whole package. Being able to get open and catch the ball. Although Jones stats aren't horrible IMO the guy is a poster child for why you shouldn't overestimate the size and speed aspect. Based on the combine numbers alone he should be a HOF player and Jerry Rice is crap.

    My point is I think Cook is a much more natural reciever. The problem is Cook is a rookie. Thus depending on Cook to provide depth at WR doesn't make sense although he may get some reps out there. Edison is also a rookie. So is Britt. Maybe Jones can fill a void while those guys get more acclimated to the NFL.

    Jones is fairly low risk because he won't cost a bunch of money and we are bringing him to to provide depth. If he came in last year he would be a starter and the consequences of him getting suspended would be devastating.

    I think this is different than Paman. Jones had a substance abuse problem. He was never involved in a shooting and didn't kill dogs. He had a problem, hopefully got the help he needed, and is ready to move on.

    -Matt Jones is a lumbering workout wonder who has never been near as fast as his combine time suggests.
    -He's soft over the middle and shirks from taking a hit.
    -He is king of the attempt and fail at the one handed grab.
    -He leaves the huddle telegraphing if he's in the play or not.
    -He gives up on plays before they are over.
    -For a huge tall guy, he gets really small on the fade route.


    All in all, I hope you guys get him and put him in the rotation.

    Yeah...Jones was so bad that he was easily Jags best reciever last year.
