MATT JONES AKA "THE BIG DECOY"

[cowboyhog]

WHERES HE AT IN THE RED ZONE HE SHOULD BE A FORCE WITH THE JUMPBALL!!

[toshortrock]

i seen one go through his hands earlier

[hamsam]

it's a rookie hazing thing. that could be the only explaination.

[Buff]

when they do throw it he has a crappy QB to do it.  10 yards across the middle and leftwich threw it as hard as he could

[John Futrall]

He WILL be a star, but it's going to take time.  IMHO, he's still learning his position (had a few thrown to him that were catchable) and will be fine over time.


All that being said, however, Leftwich tends NOT to check off, and usually ends up throwing to his #1 or #2 receiver.  It's a wonder why he doesn't get picked off more often.

[OkieHog]

He has to get on a better team.These idiots have no idea what they have.They should play him at QB for a game to see how a real QB reacts under pressure.

[TechHawg]

I didn't see it go through his hands, I saw him stretch out and touch it with his left hand cuz it wasn't a very good throw.

Are you calling Matt Jones a real QB?

LOL - You've got to be kidding.

Leftwich sux, and is probably threatened of MJ's stardom and potential. 

[corndo]

MJ has stardom in Arkansas and some in Jacksonville, nowhere else - Leftwich is not threatened by MJ. MJ did get a lot of hype before the draft, but he is going to have to be consistently productive in the NFL for him not to be a shooting star.

That's a good one.  Thanks for the comic relief...

Seriously, MJ might have the nerves, but not the arm to make a high calibur NFL QB...

[AFWarrior83]

MJ had a bad game, so did the other receivers. He will be fine, at least he didn't hold like Jimmy Smith and the Williams guy did. =)

After a good first couple of games, the Jags appear to be squandering their opportunities to utilize Matt Jones.  It's frustrating to watch.

Only reason I would ever watch the Jags play and they only brought in MJ on 3rd down on every opther possesion.  Then they don't pass to him but maybe twice the whole game.  Leftwich was throwing behind the receivers on half the dropped passes, one was to MJ.  But nonetheless MJ has to much competition to get much more playing time than he's getting.  It does seem Leftwich isn't spreading the love to MJ though.

[Gman]

I saw three attempts to Matt in last nights game.  One was thrown about 5' over his head, he appeared to be attempting to reach for an overthrown pass on another, the third he was being held, the defender actually had hold of his right arm and it wasn't called.  Leftwich will be a pretty good QB, they need some improvement on the line so he doesn't have to be in such a hurry all the time.  I can see why they had so many dropped passes last season, the guy throws a bullet.

[lumphog]

Leftwich is jealous of the attention that the whitereceiver is getting from the fans. He won`t give Jones a chance.

There are numerous reasonable explanations for why Leftwich doesn't get the ball to MJ more often--this isn't one of them.

The Jaguars are a good team and I'm thinking they will win the wild card in the AFC.  Anyone else see where DB's were closing in on matt jones on the small routes and leaving other guys wide open.  I saw that at least 3 times...why pass it to matt when for some weird reason they double cover him and leave Wilford or another WR wide open.

I never implied anything about MJ being an NFL quarterback.  But if you think Leftwich is such a great quarterback then you are entitled to your opinion.  All I can say is WOW to that.  But, if you think their is not politics in the NFL, then you are wrong.
