Eifert had a lot of touchdowns, but he only had 615 yards for the season. He barely has over 1000 for his entire career to this point... I'm not trying to cut on him, but it's not like he puts up Gronk numbers to this point.
Jones has 13 more receptions and played in 3 more games. And don't forget when he was taken out of games due to injury as well.
I agree, he's not putting up Gronk numbers. But he has only 13 less receptions and played in less than 3 games. And was pretty much a red zone weapon.
I can see your argument. However, he's also not the clear cut #2 here either. In Detroit? He could be the #1. At worst he's the #2. And there's no argument with that.
