Yes, we probably don’t win this game withoit X, Y, Z too, whatever player you were thinking about immediately coming and replying as a “gotcha!” Just calm down and read for a sec.
This was a NARROW win when, yet again, Jamo found some way to make a large game impacting play happen. Sometimes it’s a tud, sometimes it’s the most difficult catch in traffic in the game, and sometimes it’s a crucial block on a long run, but this is a truly gifted athlete who is balling out with his teammates every time they hit the field, in a real way.
My heart soared when I saw Jano give Montgomery that little “let’s go”, and I know a lot of us felt the same. Jamo has bought so far into his own teammate’s success, how can you not love him yet? What’s it gonna take?
I guess where I’m just at is when are the Jamo haters gonna appreciate that he has literally had a huge, game defining play in every outing? He is so imporrant an element of this offense and so many of you wanna treat him like he’s Hock 2, still, but the real fact is we probably don’t win a game that we only won by 3, if Mont gets stopped 20+ yards short there.
Like clockwork though, in a few weeks from now the narrative is for sure gonna be some drop that didn’t really matter, again. Will it ever stop from our own fans at least?
Jamo’s gang affiliation is a boon to those organization
I want Jamo to succeed; he clearly is a cultural fit, he has ability, and his teammates love him.
However, he was taken #12 overall to produce on the field. His block love it, his effort love it, but this is the same things I say about Brock Wright.
Here is the production the last 2 weeks of the #10, 11, & 12 in the draft last year.
-
Garrett Wilson (10 overall): 16 catches, 173 yards
-
Chris Olave (11 overall): 12 catches, 140 yards, 2 TD’s
-
Jameson Williams (12 overall): 4 catches, 34 yards
Yes Jamo got robbed on his TD. Yes he’s improving. We spread the ball around much more than the Jets, Saints. Jamo has missed a lot of games with the injury & suspension so his development is behind.
But those are the guys he will be judged against, and he’s clearly not close to them. Right now I don’t think Jamo could be our feature guy if we needed him to. At #12 overall the standard is #1 WR.
Having said all that, I am far more optimistic today than I was 2 days ago about Jamo. But the standard doesn’t change and he has a lot to prove.

Imagine if everyone on our team had Jamo speed—including Goff.
