Byron Jones the worst in the modern era

[Aven8]

Since these stats started in 1970 for corners that played at least 70 games, Jones only has two interceptions. Two folks! Next on the list has 5 in that span. He hasn’t had an int in two years as well. Mind boggling.

 

[Carson]

He will lead the league in picks next year with his new team

 

[ClappingCarrot]

It's definitely an anomaly, seeing as Chido and Jourdan have more. And Chido is trash and Jourdan has been benched almost two straight years.

 

[CATCH17]

I get that the number is low but how often is the guy he is covering targeted compared to the rest of the league?

BTW, we had him playing safety for a couple of years.

Either one of those teams in the Superbowl would love to have Byron Jones. Losing Byron is not a good thing.

Jeff Heath is our playmaker in the secondary and this forum hates him lol.

I think its time to move on from Jones....

I technically "liked" this comment, but I hate it for its accuracy. :-(

I don’t see why any QB in football would even be afraid of him. Not one.

Despite his lack of awareness for the ball, he’s a legit corner. I still throw on him 15 times a game knowing he won’t make a pick lmao

Agreed 100 percent

Byron hasn’t been awful, he just isn’t worth a huge contract. Top corners intercept the ball. You don’t want Dak at 35 million, but you want Jones at 15-18 million and he doesn’t create TO’s?

Thats typical. Dbs leave Dallas and do very well, yet some dont think coaching is a big part of why we dont get turnovers.

Well then, we better not sign Dak so we can afford to keep BJ!!! Lol! I have to admit, he has nice initials.

Do they? Who is the best corner in football and how many picks are they getting?

Not as much as you hate Dak.

I like Dak... I just don't like paying him like he is one of the best players in football.

If I went to the store and bought something I wouldn't want to pay a 100 dollars for the 10th best item when the best item costs 90..

 

[snapper]

I can only imagine how much more effective Jones would be in a different scheme.

The Cowboys defense (since Jones was drafted) is designed to not give up the big play. The CBs have also not received a lot of help from the safety position in some time.

I understand Jones and his lack of turnovers is low on the priority list, but I would love to see him under a different scheme (other than the Kiffin/Marinelli's) and see how he performs. He may not get the chance. Oh well, we'll see.

Just won DPOY and had 6 this season.

I need to see times targeted.

I think if there was a cornerback draft right now and all things were equal that Ramsey would be the #1 corner taken and he's getting like 2 or 3 picks a year.
