Mark Jones - please re-sign him

It seems they are high on Robinson returning punts and kicks again. Could be possibly looking to draft another KR/PR for competition.

[Mr. Scot]

Jones' running style is better suited to kick returning, Robinson's to punt returning.

If Robinson can contribute as a fourth receiver, I have no issue with keeping Jones around to be this year's Michael Bates/Rod Smart.

Mark Jones is a decent KR at best. Our KR game has been so bad for so long it has blinded us. He has the vision of a great KR but no quickness, moves or speed of a great one. He can't even juke or out run the kicker. If we keep him I can live with it but, I would love for someone else to step up.

I'd rather have a guy who has vision and can hit the right holes over someone who is just fast.

The guy isn't going to break the bank. I don't care how long he's been in the league. His only talent is returning the ball. So if you think he's going to command a 10 mil/2 year contract, you're kidding yourself.

Since that's out of the way, I would rather have a top 5 PR than to crown 2 returners who have to still prove themselves. What kind of sense does that make?

Top 5 returner in the league. And you think he's decent? You are so focused on him not juking a kicker that you either don't know, or fail to remember, he was top 5 in the league at his position.

So for all those who have "quickness, moves, and speed" that you insist we need, he did better than 27 other guys who have that great quality you think you must have. The one thing they don't have are his stats. So screw the rest, pay the man and put him in.

IF, and that's, IF... Robinson shows up and is better, put him in. But until then, don't go tying your hands behind your back before you size up your competition.

That's what Mr. Jones is.......Decent. Yes, I want the tangibles I listed in a KR and Mr. Jones does not possess them. And it's nice we have a KR on our team that used to be top 5. Maybe he can teach the youngsters with the moves and speed.

Never said he would break the bank but why would you pay Jones more money(because he is a veteren) and get a guy with only 1 gear when you can get someone younger that not going to cost more that will be more explosive. I just don't think Jones is an explosive player. He is good enough to get the job done but at the end of the day, you want a playmaker back there not a guy who is average at best and Jones is slightly above average
