Team should not pick up Byron Jones option

[JohnnyTheFox]

I want to see him at CB. Has length and I think he might outplay Brown. Brown would be better in slot. They have 5 games to test this out.

He ain't nothing, never been nothing. We wasted the pick lets be honest. We got to excited about a workout at the combine that was off the charts. Lots of combine warriors never did much in the pro's.

Byron Jones has his screw ups but people are overeating, he is definitely an above average safety.
He covers a lot for the SS mistakes..what good is a strong safety if he can't tackle? That's like having a quarterback with elephantiasis in his throwing arm.

This excuse that he is being held back by everyone else just doesn't fly anymore. Above average players show flashes of brilliance. He hasn't shown me that he has a high ceiling. In 3 years he hasn't had a single coverage interception. That is mind boggling.

If this team picks up his 5th yr option, I will be done with this franchise. I haven't missed a game in 18 years, I haven't missed a preseason game in 15 years. I grew up in the shadows of Texas Stadium. If they continue to invest in his scrub, I will be done. Simple as that. I can't support soft football.

I’m with you, but then u would have to watch Heath play mother year.

I think you are overreacting, he is the{one remaining} bright spot from the 2015 draft.

Your sarcasm on I hope as I was just fixing to comment " at least we took

Gregory in the second...lol, both busts

Can we trade Byron to an NBA team? He's from UConn after all. Maybe he can drain threes better than he tackles?

If Jones can really only sometimes shutdown TEs. Do we really want him out there at CB?

I think the idea would be since Jones struggles in space allow him to man up on the edge and simplify his coverage responsibilities. Is it the answer? Who knows?

I bet you Byron Jones is saying the same thing...

I'm just saying. He wasn't that good as a CB either. It's possible he's just a SPARQ guy and not much else.
