I am not going to bash the kid to no end but I saw nothing from Jones last fall to get me excited about him this coming fall. And I could care less what a kid does in spring camp, because until they get in a game nothing matters. Just like all these high rated recruits that out perform at all star combines it doe snot always translate over to the game.
IMO Jones was not the worst DB we had last year, it was Belue who made me cringe every time they threw the ball his direction. Jones at least had the excuse just learning where Belue just never could figure it out.
Under Saban we have been lucky that he can turn an athlete into a playable CB but I am just not sold on Jones. Maybe this fall he will surprise us but I also would not be surprised to see Jackson and Brown take over. Jones in my opinion is no lock and will be battling for playing time.
I hope he does well, but in the end I just hope the best 2 are out there.

I agree with Warrior, I want the two best out there and if that means benching Cyrus that is fine.

Belue was the best DB we had last year. He was never a lockdown guy, but he was quietly having a very solid season and never really got burnt like he did in 2012. The difference between him and Jones is in 2012 you could see the growth of Belue throughout the year, and on top of that he was almost always in position, he just couldn't find the ball. Jones was out of position a lot.
But the thing is it does NOT need to be confused as bashing him. That is the number one problem on bama boards. Don't like the way a guy played? You're bashing him. No, just no.

You are so far off the mark with that commentary.
