Yeah, Jones isn't the best example because he's the rare one who had great athletic ability and great smarts/character (as far as we know).
But it's funny hearing the Musers' heads explode about Garrett's stammering around about Hardy at the Combine yesterday. He says Hardy did things off the field that were detrimental, but then says we haven't decided whether to bring him back or not because we haven't made decisions on players yet... even though Steve the same day said we definitely want McClain and Claiborne back.
Then Garrett later says the evaluation of a player starts with character. Really? Then why were Hardy and Gregory and Randle and Josh Brent here? Truth is, we've had more questionable character players under Garrett than under Phillips or Parcells.
I think this is Jason's passive-aggressive way of telling everyone he didn't want Hardy, but instead of making a stand with Jerry, he sits and takes it like a good employee and complains like this later if things don't work out. Dez had massive character questions also but has worked out, and I doubt Jason would ever admit to having doubts about wanting Dez here.
And again, Garrett just signed an extension here, so he can't complain about how the chain of command works here. He knew it better than anyone and just signed up for five more years.
