I'll tell you what. Having 23 catches, a few hundred yards, and couple of touchdowns isn't all that bad for a rookie second round pick at wide receiver that's playing in an offense that doesn't know its ass from its elbow. In fact, before watching this clip (1,000x times over) I would have argued that Zay Jones has had a fairly promising start to a career and deserves a novelty tee-shirt for surviving the entirety of the Nathan Peterman era. Unfortunately, in learning that he's actually a goddamned wizard, my expectations has jumped up significantly. A couple of minutes ago I would have congratulated him for scoring his second touchdown of the season, but now I'm left wondering how a sorcerer caught merely three of ten targets for 33 measly yards last Sunday. I know the pass in question was a little off, but you can't levitate from the ground following an incompletion without leaving me wondering why those same powers couldn't be summoned in avoiding said incompletion. With a starting quarterback whose job security is - for one stupid reason or another - in need of cementing, you can't be out there saving your freakish feats for after the play. Honestly, what good is being a magician if your best tricks are only on display while in the process of failing at your trade? I'm all for Zay Jones defying gravity, but not without studying the next chapter in his book of spells and learning how to defy inaccuracy.
