Jacoby's a guy who doesn't trust others enough to be any good. Since he's a mental midget, trust becomes a big deal because he can't be retrained. His habits cannot be reprogrammed.

What do I mean by trust? You ever play catch and not run out your pattern because you think you are open and can just stand there or slow down because you are afraid you'll outrun the throw? That's Jacoby. He's just a dumb guy who doesn't finish his routes.

A guy going into his 6th season still making stupid decisions that a rookie would make. Dude never "figured it out"...

Then again, I'm sure that there is plenty of love for Jacoby in Maryland!!! :weneedajacobyfacepalmhere:

Not really directed at you, but spinning off your comment - folks often talk about JJ's speed when we have a faster WR on the team - AJ. JJ is twitchier than AJ who is a long strider but JJ is not faster. AJ won 60 and 100 meter dash Big East championships. JJ won nada. AJ was recorded at 4.27 in college. He has been a narrow second in the fastest man competition each time he has gone to the Pro Bowl. I'm sure his speed has fallen off some but his running style makes people underestimate his speed.

A loving good-bye from Kubiak.

BOOyAH!!!

I expect JJ to get his drink on in Baltimore. Party on JJ.

Good riddance, the end only came about 2 seasons to late. Gary should have kicked him off the team when he was late for the flight to Jacksonville 2 seasons ago.

Besides your back-handed slap out Kubiak, I agree with everything else.

[TdotTexas2Step]

OP, keep in mind a lot of these posts should come with the disclaimer that a lot of Texans staff and fans were expecting him to be the #2 to Andre and a serviceable #1 should Andre have gone down. And it was extremely frustrating to see him waste all those chances we gave him.

With that said, I'm assuming Baltimore fans will have lower expectations, and for the decreased role I'm sure he'll see with the Ravens, he'll be more than adequate.

You also don't have to waste a draft pick or go through the whole process of discovering who he really is.

Lol! So it was just automatic that the Texans would have won that game any way, beaten the Patriots, and than smacked the Giants around? I've got news for you, we weren't in the SB in that game against the Ravens. And you seem to be conveniently forgetting that TJ yates threw like 3 or 4 picks in that game. That game wasn't all on Jacoby Jones.

Exactly, heaven forbid you forget about TJ Yates throwing three picks *in all honestly should have been 5-6*

ckhouston is always good for a headscratcher. He reminds me of that Lewis Black joke about brain aneurysms. "If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college".

Didn't mean for that to be a backhanded slap at Gary.

It was just MHO.

Why would they do that? He has already done more for the Ravens than the Texans via the last game in Baltimore. J/K

But seriously they are scheduled to give him the key to the city of Baltimore on Thursday.............

Not sure what you should expect on the field, but off the field you should expect the Ravens logo in a fly haircut:

[HoustonFrog]

You should expect to hear his name and the word "fumble" used in approximately 6 games this year.

Thanks Tex- the reason I asked the question is because I wanted to hear what the fans had to say. I know the writers have to say. Fans tell the truth.

Much appreciate the info Texans Fans! Thanks!

I am in now way a Jacoby fan, but that is not a fair statement. Here are his career stats...http://www.nfl.com/player/jacobyjone...51/careerstats
The guy hasn't realized his potential and certainly needs to mature both on and off the field but some of the stuff he is being labeled with ain't right.

No problem man, and welcome to this board. It's nice to have other fans come in here and give a different perspective on our team and their team.

And to answer your question of what you could expect, well Jacoby is very talented as far as his straight line speed. His route running skills are pretty poor and all he'll ever amount to is a deep threat which you guys do actually need right now. He has very poor hands though, so occassionally he'll have a big drop. He lacks focus a lot as well and that's always been his biggest problem. When he does get the ball in space though, he is damn hard to stop and can become a HR threat instantly. I wouldn't expect much out of him, other than a few huge plays that might go for some TD's.

Never said he was trolling, just that this is posted in the wrong section, because JJ is no longer a member of the Houston Texans organization.

You have your opinion and I have mine. I was watching the game with family, and the minute he muffed that punt I told everyone I would see them later and went home ... I knew the game was over. If we win that game, which we should have despite having a rookie QB, I dont think there is anyone that beats us after that. Just my opinion, so LOL at yours too.

[Dutchrudder]

I don't think you need to expect too much from him, you have five better receving options ahead of him in Boldin, Smith, Rice, Pitta and Dickson. JJ should be your 6th option, so if he gets more than 25 catches, I'll be surprised. I don't think that should be your concern though, the wheels on your defense are bound to fall off this year or next. After letting Jarret Johnson go and losing Terrell Suggs to an achilles for however long (at least 8 games I think), I would say your team is set to go about 6-10 this year. Ed Reed has trouble staying healthy and will be 34, Ray Lewis will be 37, and I just don't see it lasting much longer. The Ravens have been somewhat fortunate, but age is bound to catch up with them. If the defense can't stay top 5, then Joe Flacco is going to have to actually win a few games, and I just don't see that happening. He's gonna look like Matt Ryan next year.
