Falcons should sit Julio Jones until he’s 100 percent healthy

There is no need for the Atlanta Falcons to play Julio Jones.

Julio Jones is by far the best receiver in the history of the franchise. He’s the type of guy you want on your team and not the one you wanna go up against on Sundays. If you had to knock Julio for anything, it’s his lack of touchdown catches, which aren’t his fault.

The Atlanta Falcons are off to an 0-4 start. Jones tried to go against the Chicago Bears but he couldn’t last the whole game and ended up reinjuring himself. While Julio possesses the type of heart you want in your star receiver, it might be best if the Falcons just sit Julio until he’s completely healthy.

Julio Jones should be selfish at this point and not play until he is 100 percent.

Yes, it’s still early in the season and technically it might not be time to panic but let’s face it, the chances of the Falcons making the playoffs are slim to none. There’s no reason why the Falcons should put Julio Jones on the field.

Of course, you want your best players to play but at this point, it’s a lost cause.

Dan Quinn will more than likely lose his job before the end of the season. If you want to attract a great head coach, you might want to keep your stars as healthy as possible. At this point, it might be best to start playing for next season.

The Falcons should handle Julio Jones like the Packers did Davante Adams. Adams could have played on Monday against the Falcons but the team held him out of the game and they still came up with the victory. They were able to get a win and get their star receiving more time to rest and heal. That’s a win-win.

A healthy Julio Jones makes this offense that much better. A healthy Julio Jones makes like easier for Matt Ryan, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage, and Hayden Hurst. If the Falcons were smart, they shouldn’t rush Julio back to the field especially in the spot they’re in right now.
