Would Jacoby Jones Be a Good Fit With Ravens?

Every so often when the offense is struggling, Boldin shows up in a big way. There was a game earlier this year that he was money (can't remember which game). He's vital to this offense

+1

Also when the offense is driving late in games for the win Boldin comes up huge, with lots of YAC. He got us into position in Pittsburgh and NE last year for the win.

Likely not, you dont improve the ST's return game to tear it apart the next year, plus Jones has shown good hands and is a viable deep threat. Under the cap crunch, I could easily see Boldin being released and Doss or other taking his place. Jones is a playmaker he will be around for sure.

Maybe Boldin will take a pay cut to stay, especially if he thinks the Ravens are a legit Super Bowl contender.
I think the Ravens want to keep Boldin as he is the only proven vet WR we have, so he also serves as a mentor figure for all our young WRs. Jacoby is a vet too, but has never been Pro Bowl caliber like Q, or even a reliable starter.

I expect a big game this week from one of the two exploiting the Steelers injuries with a few deep balls or them having to play deep opening up intermediate routes for others. If they blitz, Joe will throw deep to intermediate passes to make them pay. We couldnt say that years before, but can now. "I feeel goood" James Brown

He was the difference tonight. Strange they had Doss feilding a punt in the
4th Q deep in Raven territory tonight instead of JJ in that spot.

Jermaine Lewis who?

lol...Jones has been a godsend so far this year.

I suspect that if (when) he makes a mistake in a crucial time, many folks that wanted him cut in August will be back here to say "I told you so!!!!". Regardless of the fact that he is now directly responsible for 2 of their 8 wins.

Hopefully he is riding his success and his confidence will continue to let him shine. You can tell he has worked at catching the ball better. We shall see what the playoffs atmosphere brings him.

I guess sometimes it really is this simple:

"They were trying to set up the outside wall, but I saw nothing but open field to the right so I thought, 'Why not go this way?'" Jones said.

I could see them restructre boldin with an extension to get his cap number down. Jacoby has definately earned the second year of his deal.

True but all that could change if he duplicates his disasterous playoff performance from last year. He has some demons to exorcise first.

No. Even if he somehow blows it this post season, he's clearly earned the right to come back. The dude WON that game for us last night. Not to mention his kickoff return against Dallas that was the difference between winning and losing.

Maybe but this is a "what have you done for me lately league" remember? Obviously I hope we are not talking about a Jacoby Jones fumble in the playoffs at the most critical times.

What he's done for us lately is win 2 football games. Without him, we're not talking about home playoff games, we're fighting for wildcard.

Not a bad signing, not a good signing, as Flacco would put it, "A fuc*king awesome signing!!!"

Oh....bumpity bump, bump, bump.....

**Paintballguy** · 02-04-2013, 11:45 AM

I would say it was a decent move to get Jacoby. lmao

**BigPlayReceiver** · 02-04-2013, 11:58 AM

If you keep Jones then you gotta integrate him into the office more. If you do that then maybe you don't pursue a TE in the top half of the draft. Maybe a Nick Kasa (huge blocker) would work in round 5.

**Boulderraven** · 02-04-2013, 12:51 PM

I think he is a good fit.

**Bhcforlife** · 02-04-2013, 03:38 PM

I was terribly wrong about Jones and very happy to be. I will have to find my post raging at the Jones signing, talking about not wanting the season to end on another journeyman's drop, etc, etc. Not sure if it is in this thread or not...please beat me over the head with it when I find it.
