You are also being overly harsh with DD. The man may not be a wideout anymore, but I think he still showed enough for us to believe he can still be an effective slot WR. Remember the play against San Fran? Pretty good for a guy who is “not even a #3 anymore”. The key with him is staying healthy. Can he? Don’t know, but I certainly wouldn’t expect him to play 18 games if it goes to that.

Otherwise, I agree, we should draft a WR or two. Even if we resign Jones, we could use a shifty speed guy who is capable on returns. You know, the guy Sam Shields was supposed to be.

Answer NOT likely.

DD is not even a #3 anymore,so it’s Jennings,Nelson and Jones and the problem is Jones’ mental state.He seriously believes he is a #1 and TT seriously knows he is not.TT has a salary for him and if JJ asks for ONE DOLLAR more he is GONE.

Many fans are looking at OL and OLB as main arteries of the team to be fixed in the draft.i will agree with the OL,as we have enough depth(like it or not)at OLB for TT to feel secure going to camp.But even a blind person and TT and MM are not,know and have seen the very inconsistant play for a WR set supposed to be the best.

Two WRs this draft and not only is JJ gone,but don’t get pissed when DD,depending on the CBA and when the season starts a camp DD isn’t part of it.Regrettfully,DD is at the time when he is more a liability than a help.If he stays,we will be watching him as a cheerleader more than a player.He can’t shake,bake or take a hit anymore.

I love DD but won’t get caught up in the Love is Blind feeling and hurt the TEAM.
JONES is what he is,a “wanna be”
who doesn’t get what it takes “to be” and won’t.

One way or the other, TT is overdue to draft a WR or two. I also love the idea of Titus Young, but knowing TT, it is more likely to be some guy from Moorehead State that I’ve never heard of before.

He took a big step backwards in the Super Bowl and hasn’t proven anything. I don’t mean to sound like a hater because I had high hopes for Swain, but that drop in the Super Bowl pissed me off…as does any play where a player doesn’t behave according to the situation.

It was a crucial, crucial, crucial 3rd down where he knew the coverage, knew the guy was close, and instead of securing the ball and waiting to get hit…he turned it up before he secured it. Fucking idiot. Know the situation. Catch the ball, secure it, take the hit, get a 1st down, and get your name on the stat sheet. Inexcusable. And that’s the final impression he leaves the entire team going into the offseason. It doesn’t fill me with much confidence.

Same deal with James Jones…never knew the situation and never seemed to learn from mistakes (carrying the ball in the wrong hand, catching the fucking ball). In the Super Bowl final drive when he catches that back shoulder fade, he has to know to fall down to the inside of the field and keep the clock running. Cmon man! It’s the little things like that that kill a team. There was about 3 min 40 sec left when Jones stepped out and we could have ran off 40 more seconds.

All that shit aside…I did a little research on Jones and learned that, like Donald Driver, he came from a rough and homeless upbringing. I didn’t really know that about him but I found his charity’s website and thought it was pretty cool. Even though the guy had the dropsies and I’m not sure he’ll ever get over that, he seems like a good guy and a good Packer.

I guess because of his drops I’m hoping people won’t pay him too much of a premium and he decides to stay for another year or two to shed his rep as a dropper.

So…whether you’re a fan and hope he stays or whether you’re glad to see him go, visit his website and make a donation today like I did.

It’s too bad, because the receiving group we’ve got is obviously really, really close.
