A) Jones only threw the ball beyond 20 yards twice before Thanksgiving in 2022. It's the whole mirage that kafka/Daboll used to prop Jones up in 2022 and if you can't see that then maybe that is the issue. Jones had identical passing production to Davis Mills, a 3rd pick who was in his 2nd year not 4th year, but shhh let's ignore that, and that Jones only threw beyond 200 yards 6 times, or that we had a bottom passing offense. None of that matter, but Jones rating when he throws 8, 6 yard dump passes because he can't read defenses, that's what really matters.Jones had a promising and good rookie year. He threw 23 TD passes and was as high as fifth in QBR. Then the offense disintegrated due to injuries. So his entire career was not a flop as you claim.
Also king didn't say anything like that, what he said over and over again was that no 4th/5th year Qb played horrible for his first several years in the league and then magically became great. Which is the truth, as we've seen with Jones over and over again.
It must have really saddened you to see every defense Jones face last season publicly blast him and make fun of him for not being able to read defenses, but let's ignore that right, just like we ignore the Eagles playoff game.
Jones can't mentally process plays or make basic adjustments, but he's supposedly going to blossom? It's the same thing every season, and every season there's a new excuse or reasoning.
At what point is it Jones and not everyone else, because you saw this past season and the 4 before that and you are still lining up for more of Jones which is mind blowing to me. Virtually everyone has acknowledged we need a new Qb and Jones isn't the future but sure let's give him another half decade.
As to your reference to "dump off" passes. It's the QBs job to run the offense. It's not his fault that the game plan was designed to accommodate an awful WR corp and an equally awful offensive line. Still DJ was clearly the best player on the field for most of the games in 2022. In the road Playoff victory, he threw for 300 yards and ran for 100.
You can dislike Jones all you want. But perhaps you can start to realize there are opposing arguments in support of Jones that are valid. Let's also remember that Daboll and Schoen also like and support Jones.
