Is Donald Jones a legit #2 WR in the NFL?

[BringBackMarv]

Because he is probably going to be our guy the rest of the year

[Night Train]

" Guy "... as in whipping boy ?

[buffalobillsfan95]

No, jones played slot receiver during camp and Graham will probably be moved to where Nelson played.

Since we run a spread, we don't need a traditional #2. There's just a #1 and every other reciever playing all over in different spots

[Mouldsie]

Kind of OT: I still believe in the talent of Marcus Easley and with the injuries in the NFL these days he may get his chance at some point. I hope he captures the opportunity and puts it together.

[more cowbell]

No.

[BillsOverDolphins]

He's about as useful as AIDS

[gloveus]

Maybe I'm just a hopelessly optimistic homer, but I think can be a legit #2. I don't know that he is a slot receiver (even though he's had snaps there), he seems best on the outside. Donald's biggest problem is Fitzy with that weak arm. Regardless, Sundays game wasn't an outlier, I think he'll have a solid year.

Bingo.

[Mahdi]

Jones has reliable hands and a very nice skill set. Quick in his cuts and good run after catch. I think he will thrive in the slot more than as a flanker.

I expect 60 catches and 5 TDs for Jones. Maybe more.

Mediocrity. Thy name is the Buffalo Bills.

Reliable hands?

[DraftBoy]

No, he's a 4th-5th WR in all honesty. He should do better in the slot, but the fact that he's a top three option is a bit indicative of why we struggle still.

[Mahdi]

Reliable hands?

A couple of drops doesn't mean you don't have reliable hands. Stevie also has reliable hands. Every receiver drops the ball.

I suppose Victor Cruz doesn't have reliable hands because he dropped 3 passes against Dallas?

Not quite. Mediocrity is what we shoot for around here (apparently). One day, we just may achieve it.

Bit of a difference between talking about one game with Cruz as opposed to multiple drops over multiple season for Stevie and Jones. Wouldn't you agree?

I wouldn't say that Jones or Cruz are known for "reliable hands". When I think of reliable hands, I think of guys like Marques Colston and Reggie Wayne.

Don't get me wrong. Cruz is fine, but 3 drops in a single game? No. that's not terribly "reliable". Maybe 3 in a season.

I would say everything is relative. Jones, for the class of receiver he is has reliable hands from what Ive seen from him. For a guy like Cruz, having a 3 drop game could be considered unreliable but I just think he had a bad game and it happens to everyone.

Stevie has 2 big drops which fans use to base their opinion.

What?! Stevie dropped over 13% of his passes in 2010 with 13 drops that year. Please don't think this has to do with just two drops.

He has relatively reliable hands for a mediocre receiver i.e. not very reliable.


For a guy like Cruz, having a 3 drop game could be considered unreliable but I just think he had a bad game and it happens to everyone.
Or could be we don't know. He only has 20 games under his belt.

While I disagree that it's just 2 drops, those were some monumental errors.

[Historian]

Is Discopatty grounded in reality?

[Luisito23]

Is this really a legit question? Please tell me it's not.

[BillsWin]

I'm quietly one of the biggest TJ Graham fans on this board. In fact, I don't think I've mentioned him until today. But I wouldn't be surprised if he could catch some deep balls this year early. I think he's going to be a complete change of pace for some of these defensive backs and that could open up Stevie for some things.

[BertSquirtgum]

No, Donald Jones sucks. I don't understand why Gailey continues thinking he can make chicken salad using chicken ****. He's a terrible coach.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

No.

[Mr. Pink]

There are WRs without jobs right now that are better than Donald Jones.

Sad but true.

[lmcshadow]

LOL LOL !!!!!!!LMAO
