Byron Jones the worst in the modern era

[quickccc]

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.

Dunno if i'm placing him among CBs listing, as he has only played starting full time CB in the last 2 years.
No, he's definitely not a ball hawk at all and will never get INTs (unless it's a tipped deflection that really makes it easier for him), but at the very least he's shown solid man coverage skills that even enabled him to make his first pro bowl at CB a couple of years ago.

Some team (like Philly?) will make him a sizeable offer that could be among top paid CBs. But i'm not one for overpaying huge contract for just a solid coverage and a career non-playmaker
that will never turn the field position for me vs batting down the ball .

Uh, he's only played corner for 32 games

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

Not being able to complete a pass against him ....
It's clear by how they stayed away from him that the rest of the league respected him. When they let him line up in man coverage, he is on his guy like glue.
Hating the lack of turnovers is fine but at least give credit for what he does well.

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?

true this is the issue with ALL our FAS, they are very overrated by fans letting emotion get in the way of their argumaneys..

Dak, Amari and BJ are all very good players top 10 in their fields but not top 5 thats huge difference in pay scales and its insane for them demanding top 3-5 deals...they are NOT worth that,, thats how you get in cap heck!

BJ is Brandon Carr 2.0 and we got rid of him for the same reasons.. he was overpaid and made no splash plays..

all these players being retained or let go will come down to COST...some will be tagged and its the relaity of pro sports we will lose some and move on..

Mock drafts have us picking two CBS early before DT and S ..thats odd really, I saw one where no S was taken in the first round but first 5 of 10 2nd round picks theres a run on safetys..we do need a ton of help on defense in Draft and FA so this will be interesting to see what happens with BJ..

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.

No one goes after Gilmore.

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..

You would if it was the best one left and you really needed it. Supply and demand. I'd rather have Mahomes, but sadly he is not available.

The title is misleading. But I guess if all you factor in is INTs it makes sense.

I heard this stat from David Moore the other day.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

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

I think it’s time for you to move out of Houston.

 

[Stash]

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

Agreed. You don't pay huge money to non-playmakers.

 

[McKDaddy]

Top corners intercept the ball.

interceptions are also largely irrelevant to how well a guy is playing. Most interceptions aren't because the guy intercepting made a great play but rather was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Balls deflected, tipped, off target, desperation throws, etc.. Probably only 1 in 5 is because the defender really caused the interception.

Just won DPOY and had 6 this season.

Go look at his INTs and tell me that INTs aren't a QB stat. Every single one of these is either a poor decision or poorly executed throw - some are laughably bad. Gilmore is the best corner in the game, and every pick he gets depends on a mistake from the QB.

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.

We don't tend to appreciate what our players do well, just focus on what they haven't done well in order to tear them down.

 

[Aven8]

The stats are all inclusive of any DB, Safety or Corner int that span.

I actually like Byron Jones a lot. But this team needs TO’s. Bad.

 

[G2]

I heard this stat from David Moore the other day.

And? It's ONE fraction of what a CB does.

 

[Aven8]

And? It's ONE fraction of what a CB does.

So 15-18 mil for one that hasn’t had an Int in two years?

Come on.

Gilmore: Snaps - 952, Targets - 101
Jonses: Snaps - 917, Targets - 64

lol

There is supply though.. A lot of mediocre QBs and even potentially elites available.
