Two weeks after police in Arkansas arrested him for possessing cocaine in the back of a truck, Matt Jones apologized to the Jacksonville Jaguars for his actions."I'm embarrassed for Mr. and Mrs. Weaver, coach Del Rio and my teammates, and even the fans of Jacksonville. It's not good, but I really can't comment on it right now until all the things are settled in the courts and everything."
With that apology out of the way, Jones' next step is to apologize for being such a crappy receiver. I'm sure a few folks in Jacksonville wish he'd be embarrassed for them after the ball bounced off his hands in the end zone a few times. The Jaguars did spend all that money on Jerry Porter for a reason.
Then again, perhaps I'm being too harsh. I mean, I still won my fantasy league two seasons ago despite drafting Jones -- thank you, Maurice Jones-Drew -- and really, Jones has bigger problems right now than his inability to catch a ball consistently.

Matt Jones plays wide receiver at least as well as Del Rio plays head coach. Jones could have been an eightieth percentile NFL quarterback had he been kept at that position with Jerry Rhome to work with him on mechanics. As it is, JAX has had no quarterback and no wide receiver. STILL, no excuse for being involved in any way with drugs or with people who are involved with drugs. Dallas needs a quarterback. Trade him to Dallas.

You hit the nail on the head. He (Matt) would have made the JAGS a promising QB. Time will tell about his recent dope scene, Thats inexcusable.
