Quote from: Jclayton92 on March 20, 2024, 09:13:38 PMIt's amazing you continue to use one year of a five year career to try to justify your point, even saying it now sounds ridiculous knowing what we know. 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.The real injury is the psychological trauma or to put it in Carl Banks words, Shell Shocked, PTSD. That's how the Organization leaked it out in preparation for them moving on from DJ at some point after the 2024 season. Daboll knew it and even deviated from being his mentor to being visibly upset. Anything to knock him out of his funk. Sitting alone on the bench like a beaten dog. But as you have said, he just doesn't have it to be more than a game manager and he's not going to be able to risk his health and run anymore. As Rich said. He could be a shot away from never playing again.
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.
It's not just one thing. It's everything.
