There is no way that the Jaguars will not address the WR position this offseason. No one should talk about how pitiful the receiver corp will be next year with only Northcutt and Walker. There will be additions from the draft, free agency, and undrafted players. Don’t evaluate the players right now because we don’t even know who the players are.

Matt Jones hurt himself more than he hurt the Jaguars.

He hurt the jaguars more during his playing days than he will by leaving.

I think golf and drinking go together quite well, except when you are under arrest for cocaine and told not to do it.

Matt Jones will go on to have a less than stellar career in the NFL despite his incredible athletic abilities. Rarely has someone done so little with so much.

I rarely post on here but I visit this site daily. I come to this site because I value the insightful thought and rhetoric of MOST of the people who post on here. I think this post should be removed as I believe it discredits this site. It is this type of mentality that I would expect to be displayed on the Jaguars.com message boards (from the 1 or 2 times I’ve been there), not here. This is a very knee-jerk type reaction to a decision that we all know had to be made. It is sad that a very large part of our fan base feels this way. This sect of fans is however the uninformed, and not the same people that visit and post on this site. Please post your letter on the Jaguars.com message boards, I’m sure it will receive a much warmer reception there. Thanks.

This may be ONE fan’s message but for the rest of us who see most of Gene’s new decisions as moving the team forward, I don’t think the sentiment is shared. I would be very surprised to see Matt land on a team that we play regularly simply because they have seen him in action (or more so inaction) over the last few years and they would have to be desperate or crazy to pick him up. It is no one’s fault but his own. If you have an opportunity to play professional football and make good money (not to mention stay out of jail) with the only stipulation is that you don’t do drugs or drink, then DON’T DO DRUGS OR DRINK! No one forced that beer into his hands, it was his choice. If he cannot follow a court order, then what makes everyone think he can follow a coach’s direction? Way to go Gene, clean this roster up.

he got cut for being stupid!

Normal body breaks down 1 drink per hour, so chances are Matt was closer to killing a case of Busch Lite (It was in Arkansas), than he was to enjoying a Corona or two. It takes some hard-core drinking to fail a drug test the next day.

This was NOT just enjoying a beer on the golf course… he wouldn’t have gotten caught had that been the case.

during the 2009 season or any other season. Gene is well on his way to firing everyone who was a part of the worst WR corp in the league for 2008. We have a few more losers to go, but I’m hopeful that not one of these overrated BUMS remains in Teal & Black.

Are you kidding me – we will miss Matt Jones or any other WR loser – NOOOOOTTTT!!!

im not calling you out to be negative, just when i read it i didnt pick up on the joke

after knowing its a joke, it got funnier. it seems most ppl took it too seriously and thats what the commotion is

Let’s take this in perspective. Say you worked for ohhh for Bank of America. You didn’t really work that hard, you had a lot of potential to crunch numbers, you sort of had a bad attitude around customers, you came into work late, and every once in awhile you called out of work. Then one day your boss receives a phone call saying you have been arrested for possession of cocaine. Your boss thinks “Man this kids a fuck up, between not showing up for work and now this, but he has so much potential”. So after deep thought your REALLY nice boss (any other boss would fire you right there) decides to give you another shot. So a few months pass, you start picking up the slack, come in a little earlier and have a better attitude around customers. Then one day you decide to say fuck it, I’ll go get wasted, this IS worth the risk of getting fired from my job. You wiegh out your options, go get wasted with my friends or risk getting caught and getting fired. WASTED it is. So you get caught and your boss get’s another “He’s in Jail” phone call. Do you think you should still be employed ?? Football is a job, just like any other job. How many people at your job get arrested for possession of cocaine and still have a job the next day? How many get thrown in jail twice and still have a job?

Matt Jones writes better

His name in coke that is
