Byron Jones

[Verdict]

i know a lot of you have been bashing him non-stop, like Aaron Judge hits a baseball but I have resisted getting on board with that because I have seen more good in him than bad.

Granted, as with all players, he has done some good and some bad but overall I was glad to have him on the team.

I don't just jump on the hate band wagon (that's a figure of speech I don't hate any of these guys) very quickly. A player sort of has to earn the bashing from me.

Having said all of that Jones acted like a one man wrecking crew of our attempts to beat the other team today. I'm not on the hate wagon yet but he seems to be trying to earn his way on it.

His two penalties were as much to blame for the Chiefs scoring run as anything. He’s still (usually) a solid player but hasn’t taken the next step this season like I hoped he would.

I want to see a compilation of him “trying” to tackle.

He’s better at CB, but the coaching staff must be stubborn and keep him at a position he’s not very good. More of the same.

Byron Jones is not a good player, sorry.

 

[Direwolf63]

Byron Jones is NOT a safety, pure and simple.

He is a serious liability back there.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

I've defended him as well, but it was a poor game today. Byron needs to play better than he did today. Its frustrating we haven't found a consistently good safety since Woodson.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

I’m beating the dead horse here but why draft a CB in round 1 then move him to Safety?????

If one of your traits is lack of physicality, you should not be a safety

We had Williams for a year or two, thats about it

 

[RS12]

He is a freak athlete attempting to play football with mixed results. If it were me I would not pick up his 5th year option.

THANK YOU.

Especially when he's not actually very good at safety.

Jerry likes how he looks in the shower I guess....

I feel like Williams play dropped after Woods on retired.

 

[guag]

I think part of it was due to the fact that (when Jones was drafted) we had Carr and Mo and Scandrick and figured adding another CB to that unit would create an embarrassment of riches at the position or some such nonsense.

It was like a switch was flipped on him.

 

[Hardline]

He was drafted on his broad jumping ability. They should've drafted a player on his football ability.

He found religion

 

[Section446]

He'll go down with Taco and Claiborne as one of the worst first round picks in Cowboys history.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

He found religion

Are you saying Jesus Christ couldn’t hit a receiver coming over the middle?

 

[Cowboyz88]

IMO, when Jones tackles, he catches the ball carrier instead of delivering the hit.
