Exhibit A as to why professional athletes really should avoid social media. Too much noise, too many trolls. It’s not worth the stress. Life’s too short to worry about what a few keyboard warriors say

I want Zay off of this team... ZaySAP.

I'm sad to see that Bob has moved past simply calling everyone that he doesn't like a 'jive turkey'.

 

A more callous individual might remind him that his boys have nearly jumped out of a window naked in some kind of induced state and been sentenced for violence towards a woman.

We forget most athletes are only years removed from being kids. Having overly-involved parents are a thing now. We know it was an issue on draft day with player like Lamar Jackson. Wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the player vetting process now.

If Jones makes the 53.And,becomes the second coming of Steve Tasker on ST. (doubtful) 

He will not be a Bill if and when the return to the glory days come back. Cut him and make room 

for somene with potential NFL caliber talent. Cannot see him being a red zone target. Unless

of course it's in a 4'quarter blowout. His specialty. His trade value is zilch.

i admit that I had heard he was a bit outspoken on twitter and went after some media people if they tweeted something negative about Zay, but I never looked into it or followed him myself. It’s somewhat common these days for family members to get on social media and defend players. Kind of a dumb tweet by zay’s dad though and I know he played in the league and this isn’t even about Zay but come on ... talking crap about the fan base of a team your kid plays for?

 

Well, to be fair to Jones, he has the ultimate "Scoreboard!" response to Bill fans.

Man... I thought worthless players talking ***** was bad... it’s even worse when a worthless players parents talk *****.

 

can someone make a super cut of all the easy drops Zay’s had in the past two years, mixed in with him trying to jump out a window naked, and send it to this guy... 

Um ... Jones was a really good player. Defensive rookie of the year in 1992, the years the Cowboys obliterated the Bills 52-17.

And it's probably true.  Damn Benjamin...you waste.

What percentage of people have adverse reactions to a type of drug / medication?

I'm not making excuses for the Zay incident.  Just looking for information

Robert Jones? sheesh, if he calls out Bills fans like that, i wonder what he thought of Colts fans the other night.   I don't recall anyone seriously talking crap about Cole Beasley because of a preseason fumble?!?  that is an odd take from dad.

Man, I hope we find more “worthless” players that can place 17th in the nfl in touchdowns.

 

21st, actually - in receiving. Not even in total TD's. (he's 41st in the league for total TD's scored) And as far as Zay goes, worthless might be harsh, but he hasn't performed at the level of a 2nd round pick, he has consistently killed momentum and the team with drops, and he hasn't done nearly enough to warrant his father acting like he's a big deal.

this actually says 16. What am I reading wrong? He is doing really well for a second round pick. In the last three or so years, outside of JuJu and Thomas he is out performing all the other second round picks. Others have done better in their third year, but comparing second year stats, Zay is among the best.

 There are few, if any, legally prescribed medications that would produce that kind of behavior---although these meds are always blamed when these events happen.

Ah- it looks like the difference is how they rank ties- I was looking here: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2018/scoring.htm ( I think your source is better, as that seems like a better way to handle ties.)

 

That being said, I think you have some solid points and I admit I was being pretty hyperbolic. I don't think he's done all that much to warrant his father's big attitude, but I also don't think parents of players should be running their mouth at all. :P

That being said, Zay is infuriating because he is not nearly as good as he could be, if not for drops and seemingly other mental miscues.

Agreed. But guys like that, who make mental mistakes, usually also have all the pieces to put it together. I think that if josh Allen starts throwing the ball around, zay can get to the 800/900 yard range. If he doesn’t, we won’t get his next contract. His Dads a nut, he should shut up, but that’s not zays fault.

That's what's so infuriating. He could be much better than he is. Hopefully he does take a step. 

 

Fair enough.

It’s funny. Fans talk so much crap about players and then cry when someone talks crap to them.  Guy is being a dad and protecting his son.  Could he take the high road? Sure but what about all the immature fans, some older than Zay’s dad.  Personally, he’s not talking about me because I’m not a loser twitting at him.

I meant that he is the parent of a worthless player... 

His son is top 1% of his profession.  What’s yours doing?

 

and I’m not even a Zay fan.  I wanted JuJu.  But I’m just so sick of coward fans running their mouths and crying like babies when someone says something back to them.

I get your point--but the difference is that the fans are not being paid to perform on the national stage, the players are--and by extension their families should play along to minimize off the field distractions. Do I also wish all fans behaved maturely all the time? Of course.

And I get your point.  But why is it ok that fans, most of who have jobs and families, can act like complete idiots and players just have to take it?  Personally, I’m in the camp that only say something that you would in person.  

 

But again, I’m not on twitter talking crap to players and their families so I can’t relate.

Me to!  All I thought was  - wow, great pass and catch. Glad he got the fumble out of his system in a useless pre-season game.

I feel bad for Zay Jones.  Obviously he doesn't need a distraction like this.  But bottom line is that what his dad says on Twitter has ZERO relevance to what he needs to do to make this team and contribute. 

 

And for the record, what do you think Josh Allen's parents thought if they were foolish enough to read some of the posts on the Stadium Wall after the Bill's selected their son in 2018?  Talk about BRUTAL.  Or hell just think back to last Friday's game.  If Zay's dad thinks Cole Beasley took crap from the fans for the fumble (which he didn't BTW) what does he make of the obsession on Josh playing Hero ball? 

 

One bad pass that was called back by penalty has been diagnosed to death with a number of Bill's fans pronouncing it as evidence that Allen has not made any progress from his Green Bay outing.  Me thinks Mr. Jones needs to develop a thicker skin or stay off social media.

Wait. What? Why? The family didn’t sign a contract. Zay did. It’s crazy they should be considered to have any obligation. This is identical to colts fans thinking luck owed them something. Would it be better? Probably, but that isn’t our prerogative.
