HoosierCat Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 No, not that Marvin and those flags, Marvin Jones and penalty flags./>https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2013/05/13/neils-nfl-daily-may-13-2013/I thought it was interesting that he was among the top 10 wide receivers in drawing flags. It says something about how dangerous he may be once he gets up to speed that he was interfered with so often last year, when he was still trying to figure out which end was up.He's in pretty good company on that list. Everyone, including me, is expecting Sanu to have a breakout season, but maybe we're focused on the wrong WR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'm not sure I take much from that considering the limited sample, but it would certainly prove a very handy characteristic for him to exhibit consistently if he can. To this point, I've thought that Bengaldom has generally overrated Marvin Jones for his perceived upside despite his lack of significant production when he was on the field. I am a lot more optimistic about Sanu than Jones, simply because I always liked him more as a prospect and obviously the stretch of good games he had.I do think Jones is very likely to make the team though and is an injury or two short of having every chance to prove me wrong.

cHaD711Johnson Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Sheesh, a rookie WR taken in the 5th round. Give him time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I don't mean he was disappointing. He was thrust into a challenging position and produced about as one should have expected. I am just hesitant to embrace him as a future cornerstone of the offense without more actual evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Sanu is the more dynamic of the two for sure and has made better on the opportunity when it was given.That being said, I won't complain about Jones either.Take a look at the college stats of Keenan Allen, who most thought was a 1st rounder this year and Marvin Jones when he was at Cal./>http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/380687/marvin-jones/>http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/501550/keenan-allenMarvin Jones has a single reception in his freshman season, so it's like basically comparing 3 full seasons for each of them.Interesting stuff...

Couldn't get separation. Jones improved as the season went on, he was just hampered by injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I posted those links quickly, but didn't get a chance to expand on my thoughts.In looking at the 3 full seasons:Allen had- 205 receptions for 2570 yards and 17 TD'sJones had- 156 receptions for 2270 yards and 13 TD'sAllen's best YPC season equated to Jones' worst YPC season.Allen was once thought to be a early first round pick before his injury.When looking at the two side by side, i'm still very hopeful for what Jones can bring to this offense.The fact we got him in the 5th round represents great value on the part of the Bengals.
