Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.

I smell a suspension coming. This guy was a first rounder only a couple of years ago. IMO he never lived up to his draft status. I think he was a college QB converted to WR but still.

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

That's a shame. Such talent wasted with poor attitude, and now with booger sugar...

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

That could be the end of the line for him in JAX. This doesn't seem like something Del Rio is just going to blow off, Jones is definitely facing suspension and for a guy who has never had more than 41 catches, 643 yards and (in another season) 5 TD's.

Pretty mediocre and from what I've been reading, there's a lot up in the air for those Jacksonville receivers that haven't lived up to their draft status.

I won't be shocked if he's cut over this

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

Thought this was interesting. Any one up for making an appointment to visit him in the clink?

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.

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

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.

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

Wow, what a waste. And Skinsfan69, I know of at least one former college quarterback who plays wide receiver in the NFL, and he isn't half bad. Here's a hint, he plays for the Redskins.

As for Matt Jones, this is probably gonna be the last we hear about him again in a football uniform again. He was on the verge of becoming a bust, but now that he's gonna be known as a cokehead it will solidify his status.

ARE wasn't a first round draft pick and he also has value on special teams. No way do you take Jones as a number one pick. But the Jags don't even need him anymore. He's done.

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

Bad form Matt.
Next thing you'll be runnin' with the fella's with a sack o' cash making rain in strip joints and cappin' your driver............allegedly

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

Damn, isn't anyone going to suggest we should give him a look once he's released?

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.

I'm shocked, we get a Pac Man, I mean Adam Jones reference, but no Michael Irvin jokes?

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

I guess during the offseason everybody has the oportunity to get into trouble. Not sure many other teams will give him a look

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

Well what he did was stupid but it not the end of the world. There have been some good player and good people who get involved in drugs. With that kind of money at that young age it could be very easy to get caught up into drugs. Now if he was causing harm to other people then my view would be different but I think he will play again in the NFL.

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

Oh he'll play again in the NFL as long as he stays clean, it just probably won't be for the Jags.

[quote=Mattyk72;456010]Damn, isn't anyone going to suggest we should give him a look once he's released?[/quote]I wouldn't give the guy a look. Del Rio left him inactive for several games last year in response to Jones's poor work ethic. And now he has a drug arrest on his resume - The last thing we need is an unproductive WR with questionable character.

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.

Re: Matt Jones (Jags) arrested for Coke possesion.
 

I don't think the NFL will suspend him, They should....

If he's never failed a drug test, they will probably have to throw him into the drug program.

coke's pretty serious... i hope it's at least 4 games.

as far as kevin faulk's minor pot thing as a concert... it's stupid of him to get caught in public, but it's still a nonstory.

When it comes to drugs I believe they have set rules to go by and thats what will happen. I do believe the rule is like 4 games for 1st time.

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.

Now I don't think Henry's weed is a big deal but this is just stupid. Matt Jones not only sucks, but is a complete idiot.
