It's painful. But it's true.

I completely disagree.
Guys like Jones help make the guys around him better directly and indirectly.
Opposing offenses are forced to double team Jones and still lose the battle. That means other players only have to beat a single block to eat. It also forces the QB to need to move to avoid pressure (often immediate pressure) and that makes the job of the DEs easier. He also helps the CBs because the QB is often throwing off balance and rushed.
The truth is, Unicorns like CJ make good players out of average players around them through their impact.
