Seeing ghosts because the Giants are guilty of malpractice in terms of getting the living crap beat out of him is different than not being intelligent and capable of processing. I think you and many fans really fail to appreciate just how terrible the blocking was for Jones. Jones had the fastest time to pressure (both Taylor and DeVito enjoyed more time before pressure) due to a massive failure of the line to pick up stunts and blitzes, and he was the one without Thomas that allowed for the LT to completely whiff on his blind side blocks.
Also, in 2022, as the season wore on, Barkley was running less, and Jones was throwing more (something you didn't mention)
Between the factual evidence of what two coaches and GMs did and Wonderlic test, I see little reason to believe the claims of needing to dumb things down
I gave you two presnap reads he failed to process in 2023. That came before any pressure was applied. On a white board I am sure he explained that just fine, yet on the field he clearly chocked. Completely failed to recognize to simple pre snap reads. So that exist outside of facts? I agree he is smart but it still happened even in week 1 when his PTSD didn't set in.
Furthermore, in game 1 vs Dallas last year, Jones was responsible for 5 of the 11 sacks and had the 7th most time of the QB's who played that day. At least 3 of those were his fault before the ball was even snapped. That throws out the line and pressure argument related to those.
Jones had the 2nd worst line in NFL history, no doubt!!! and Jones found a way to make them worse with his decision making and poor play.
