It's safe to assume Jaguars WR Matt Jones won't be looking to fans of the team for sympathy after he was arrested on cocaine possession charges on Thursday.

Judging by the fans' reaction to his arrest on the JagsZone message board, he won't get any.

Bitter comments expressing anger and a lack of surprise over the former first-round pick's issues filled the thread top to bottom.

One of the moderators of the site made a comment about the look on Jones' face in his mug shot.

"Notice the indifferent look on his face in his mugshot. Kinda reminds me of the way he looks after a huge win, or a devastating loss, or the day he was drafted, or when he was benched."

A poster sarcastically suggested an explanation for Jones' arrest.

"Maybe we are all mistaken and he was just trying to clean the powdered sugar off of his leg after a donut... And maybe the next job Matt Jones will have is flipping burgers at McDonald's. Instead of improving his chances to make the team, he was trying to "broaden his horizons." Would you like a hot apple pie with that Matt?"

Clearly, Jaguars fans in the forum have had their fill of Jones, and the arrest seemed to only confirm what they already thought of him.

"Note to Matt. You're a loser. You ruined your chance to rule this town. I'm sorry, but a Southern white boy WR could have been the face of this team, but instead he's become one of the most hated players in our 13+ year history. Today's incident was just the proverbial last straw for this moron."
