Let's calm down folks, he's been outstanding but this week will be a real test for him with that Houston WR corps.
Jones is the best corner in the league right now. Even better then Ramsey.
This is a "no win" for players. A contract year comes up usually when most players are hitting what their peak is. Some fall, some continue to go up after they get paid. Its kind of lazy to just assume he's playing well because its a contract year. I mean, he might be, but we shouldn't assume that. Also, a large number of fans are always saying "I need to see him do it before we pay him that kind of contract," Then when he plays to the level necessary to justify the upcoming contract it turns into "we shouldn't pay anyone that kind of money, lets trade him for draft picks!" We are saying the same thing with Demarcus Lawrence, as if all the fans on this board don't remember what the years looked like when we didn't have a number 1 corner or a consistent dominating pass rusher.He is probably just more comfortable at corner and is playing with confidence.
He was not that effective at corner earlier in his career.
And let's all take a moment to appreciate how sometimes players "blossom" in a contract year.
Haha go check the numbers from this yearGoing to far

We already picked up his option... this is not a contract year.
That would be next year.

He played well as a slot corner.
And people joke about blossoming in a contract year. Well it happens qnlot because it sometimes takes players...get this. .. 3 to 4 years to get there. Coincidentally right when rookie contracts end. But please go on believing the vast majority of players play poorly on purpose only to then play well when it matters....because....erm...something.
I wonder why Richards has Jones on the left side and not the right.
Too bad we can't bump old threads. I said over and over this offseason that Byron Jones would be the most improved player on the team and that he was the prototype Kris Richard CB.
lets not start drinking each others coffee just yetJones is the best corner in the league right now. Even better then Ramsey.
Go watch the film. Jones is ranked as the number 1 corner in football. I know it's hard for some but facts hurtlets not start drinking each others coffee just yet
