Quote:I agree with the premise. He had more God given ability than any WR that has ever played for the Jaguars. He just didnt care one bit about football. And as the many jokes above have said, he'd rather do coke in a walmart parking lot than be in the NFL. If he had had the desire and the "want to" of a guy like Wes Welker, he would have been an awesome football player. He was so talented. Total waste.

I think sometimes we as sports fans dont appreciate players who are blessed athletically and live up to the hype. I'm not comparing the two, but a guy like Lebron has more God given ability and talent than arguably anyone in NBA history. He hit the ultimate gene pool jackpot. The powerball of genetics. Just total dumb luck. And to his credit, he has taken that ability and maximized his potential. We expect him to be great because he is just so much bigger and more athletic than everyone else. And he has worked his butt off to be as good as he could be. Matt Jones on the otherhand didnt work a day in his life to becoming better at football. Total waste, total shame.

To me Matt Jones wasnt all that impressive physically. He was easily pushed around by smaller CBs despite his size. Showed zero pull away or explosion despite his so called "speed". His change of direction abilities were a joke.


Add in him missing the mental part of his game and also being a sissy on the field and its the Gabbert of WRs. He was 6'6 and thats it hardly ground breaking for a nfl wr. Mentioning him in the same paragraph as lebron is hilarious.
