James Jones is a Packer

[Fozastuta]

Well, he didn't play a single meaningful game for them so that shouldn't be hard to accomplish.

Your time of the month pal?

Wow. ..really?

 

[Mondio]

Your time of the month pal?

he's always like that, but he was correct

 

[I asked LT to delete my acct]

He might be correct, but there's better ways of expressing yourself.

We have a Quarter Back who can bring very best out of any decent but out of form WR. Mark my words, Jones will be far better here than he was with the Giants.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was better than he was for the Raiders. I don't think 73/666/6 is beyond the realm of possibility. I don't really expect it because I do think Montgomery and Janis will be worked into the offense a little more than the 4 and 5 guys traditionally have been and I think Lacy and certainly Rodgers will see a bump in their passing game contributions but it is doable Heck, a few years ago there was talk of 3 1000 receivers although that dream fizzled big time.

By the way, it just dawned on me why the Raiders cut Jones. McKenzie is very superstitious and the 666 receiving yards scared the crap out of him. There are rumors that McKenzie was seen more than once roaming the streets of Oakland late at night muttering over and over "Jones is the Devil, the Devil is Jones" Word has it he's a Jim Carrey fan as well.

I thought The Devil was in Mrs. Jones??

 

[Poppa San]

Every now and then you are probably both correct.

 

[sschind]

Miss Jones. At least I think it was Miss Jones. I don't know for sure. Obviously. Why would I know that? What are you implying

 

[longtimefan]

The more I think about it the less I think Ted will go after him. I can't recall but I don't think we even made him an offer so its not like he took a better deal to be the #1 guy. .

they did make an offer

Jones spent seven seasons in Green Bay (2007 through ’13) before signing a three-year, $10 million free-agent contract with the Oakland Raiders in March 2014.

At the annual NFL Meetings a few days after Jones signed that deal, his agent, Frank Bauer, said that the Packers did express an interest in re-signing his client but were too late – they’d already agreed to a deal with the Raiders.

So it was more of an afterthought. I did read that article but it was after I posted. i wasn't sure if they had made an offer. Anyway, I was wrong on both counts. They did make an offer even though it was late and Ted did go after him. I'm glad on the second part.

Well Sschind who are we to sit in judgement on what you do in the "off season"?

I must have been thinking about the legendary hit by Billy Paul "Me And Mrs. Jones" and must have been, yeah that's it....playing Charlie Daniels "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" while typing!

[PackwillBEback]

If the Raiders didn't want to keep him and he couldn't make the Giants' roster what does that say about where JJ is at at this point in his career? The Packers will start the season with who they have and unless they really falter don't expect any "names" to be coming in.

Yeah what does that say about him? Killing it.

 

[Croak]

4 Catches, 51 yds, TD

 

[okcpackerfan]

4 Catches, 51 yds, TD

he had TWO TD's

 

[Croak]

he had TWO TD's

Oops, too much Malbec....

 

[Ogsponge]

What is funny about this is that people actually thought we should not go get him when it was an absolute no brainer once he was available. I would like to say it was genius move on TT's part but it wasn't, it was simply what needed to be done.

Rodgers and Jones have chemistry and that chemistry was on display today.

 

[TJV]

And check out the degree of difficulty of at least two of Jones' catches.

 

[Wolf Packer]

Might have done enough to silence some of the doubters, for now.

 

[Ogsponge]

And check out the degree of difficulty of at least two of Jones' catches.

They were tremendous and we watched Jones do that many times his last couple of season with as. How nice was it for him to come in and in week establish himself as force to be reckoned with? Teams are not going to be able to just double cover Cobb.

 

[Ogsponge]

Interesting quote from Arod on Jones performance today:

"No disrespect to James but I don't think it was that out of character. ... I had no hesitation going to him."

 

[Krisco65]

Welcome back James Jones. You never should have left.

 

[PikeBadger]

Welcome back James Jones. You never should have left.

I'm actually glad he left for a year. Opened up the door for Adams to get valuable playing time last year. He's a whole lot cheaper now too.

Jones played great today. Was a little surprised that the chemistry came back this quickly.

 

[Zartan]

He played quite well today and made some great catches. I am kinda perplexed that he was cut from the Giants and Raiders.

Im glad he dident but what he showed today was great.

 

[Gutpunch77]

Because both of the quarterbacks on those teams are not as good as Rodgers...it's not even close
