Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.

I just can't believe how stupid some of these guys are. Why would you be sitting in a car cutting up coke at 12:40am?? He can't be that stupid can he??

Jones was a terrible pick. How do you make a converted college QB your 1st round draft pick?? Someone should get fired for that. He is the classic example that the combine is 90% garbage.

I remember wanting to get him that year he came out. Good thing he didn't "fall" to us. He went way to early for his talent anyways.

Is the time relevant to when he got caught? Would 12:17pm been a less stupid time? ;-)

Seriously, he was a wasted pick. I remember before and after the draft Sean Salisbury-consider the source, I know.. 'This kid is going to be a star in the league. He's got the speed, the size and amazing hands and will be a pro-bowler for years to come!' Talk about a kid who had EVERYONE fooled!

It's not like he doesn't have the tools and coming off of his second season people were thinking that maybe he was putting it together. Last year, however, didn't do much to reinforce that. He didn't build on his second season like he needed and then they go out and sign 2 new guys who play the same position? I think he'll be cut pretty soon...

I wish out of the dozens of sportstalk shows there are, that there was one that pointed out how awfully wrong these "experts" are on 90% of their predictions and analysis.

he had character flags and wasn't a very safe pick, but JAX bought into the hype. mike wiliams and reggie bush had the same deal (though reggie might figure it out still). you can search back and see posts here pre draft and see. i called reggie bush the best WR of the draft and jones-drew the best RB value, so the combine isn't worthless (it really helped jones-drew), but you can't base your draft on the combine alone. research is important.

QB to WR conversions just don't work that well. hines ward did it, but ARE isn't really anything more than average, same with jones, and i can't even remember any others.

Ronald Curry was on his way to being a really good wr for oak. but he's had 2 big injuries. Brad Smith of the Jets is decent but not a starter.

I think Jones was at some point doing well & looking like he could become a solid wr if not a star. It sounds like his attitude & personal issues are the problem. If he gets suspended it might be the best thing for his career, might make him realize he could be out of a job, cause him to get his game together.
