Jones has to decide to make certain throws and needs to start hitting receivers in stride and/or all together that he has been missing.
Jones is reluctant to throw intermediate and long throws unless it is obviously open. And despite the line, there are plenty of examples of him missing these on plays without pressure.
There are windows in plays that exist before it is blatantly obvious that the receiver will be open that good quarterbacks will deliver a pass in. Jones does not take those. Jones needs big windows of separation to pull the trigger or he checks down or runs. These are the critical throws that when completed alter the defenses single safety approach toward Jones. Every time he checks down or runs to no avail he reaffirms the defenses approach to bring it and force him over the top. He is yet to make a defense pay. He must earn the right to see a different defense.
Nabers will probably get the separation that will make Jones comfortable to throw the intermediate and longer throws. In that sense I believe he will help DJ. He will not make him good and certainly not great. But he probably will make him functional again.
Nabers, Hyatt and Robinson should be more than enough to provide Jones opportunities to show he can process defensive pre snap fronts and make the correct reads. A healthy Waller with Nabers is more than most QB's are afforded so if they keep Waller there really is not excuse.
