Ignorant post regarding a played out arguement
I think it was a fair post and a valid observation. Jones generally plays soft, rarely comes up with the tough catch, and disappears for huge stretches at a time. Sorry, average should no longer be acceptable.

Donald Jones has been in a position to make impact catches in several recent games and has come up short. Fast, yes - but plays soft and short arms balls in traffic. He's a practice squad-er or 4th receiver on a good football team.

Donald Jones is good at catching balls that are well thrown that he doesn't have to reach or jump or dive for. He can catch it also if he's not tightly covered. He can't however go up in a crowd and bring it in or make a tough catch. The kind of catch I see other teams WRs make all the time. You need a guy like that. If DJ pulls in that one in the 1st half it doesn't even come down to all the late game theatrics. If he catches that one in NE it could have been different. He had done better this year than I expected, but we need a better player who can make the tough catches there IMHO.
Perfectly put... agree!

While Donald Jones has made some improvement he hasn't made enough of an impact to suggest he's the answer at #2 WR. His drops in the NE and Miami games in the end zone were tough but catchable balls. IMO he's not ready for prime time and a longer term answer needs to be found to playmaker Stevie Johnson.
Russell Wilson will never be elite

ny33 - Okay, I'm assuming you've watched Russell Wilson only in the Playoffs. Assuming you live in WNY, why would you have studied him the whole season.
I live in the Pacific Northwest (Vancouver), am an ex-Buffalonian, and a life- long Bills fan. I can assure Russell Wilson IS the real deal. He won the job over two veterans in Preseason and has never looked back. He's super smart, very fast, feels pressure, makes accurate throws, is mentally and physically tough, and hates to lose. Ask opposing players whether his 5'11" stature is a problem? The answer would be, no. (The only problem may be, he's not on 'their' team!)
This kid is bigger than Doug Flutie (remember him?) and has intangibles off the chart. Will be a long time starter for the Seahawks and, am betting, will be a long term Playoff performer.
