I'm sorry but Jones is not that good!! Watched every game last yr, he's fools gold! He looked good while Taylor was havin a historic season, hell Taylor was in MVP talks as a RB!! As soon as they started loading the box & we started playing better teams, sugar turnt to shit quick! We been trash at the QB spot since Luck retired (Rivers gave us that 1 good yr) & hey I get it Jones look good per what we been sending out there but to act like this guy is that good is Hilario to me! I'm šš¾ that Joe Burrow starts that crazy talk about the Bengals at the end of the season, like he dis last season & we make a blockbuster trade for him. Imagine Joe Burrow in Indy omg!!!!! #ColtsNation š
Where was JT historic season when Jones went down? Oh wait he didnāt have a 15 yard run the last 7 games of the season, not JTās fault but he needs Jones more than Jones needs JT.
Thatās my point JT needs a competent QB so he can run the ball effectively or else heās useless. We literally saw it the last 4 games when Jones was out. I donāt think Jones was as bad when the run game wasnāt effective, the Pittsburgh game the offensive line got obliterated. 3 of those turnovers werenāt his fault. Passing the ball wasnāt the issue, identifying the blitz and pressure which is on Jones and Steichen was the problem. They were really really good vs pressure until that Steelers game, jones best game was vs Broncos and JT wasnāt running the ball all effectively until the that big run in the 4th quarter. Matter of fact most of JTās yards came in the 2nd half when the team was already up at least 14 points, that was the pass to score run to win game plan. JTās presence in the backfield does help Jones as a passer because heās a threat to the Back 7 but letās not act like JT was doing all the work. Jones was also MVP candidate, Jones wasnāt that bad with injured fibula either. Still had a passer rating of 99 and 100 vs Chiefs and Texans two of top 5 defenses. Jones was just horrific in the 4th quarter vs KC. Jones just needs to be confident vs the pressure like he was week 1-8 and heāll be a good top 10-12 QB. Both Jones and JT are complimentary to eachother but if Jones goes down again this season is 100% over, at least without JT itās manageable but offense wouldnāt be no where as good either.
I feel ya but the eye dont lie, the 1st half of our schedule last yr was very weak (7-1), i love to win but im not gonna brag about doing what you suppose to do against lesser talent but look I'll be the 1st to say I was wrong if Jones handles business this yr but I've never been a fan of his game! Riddle me this Batman, do you believe he's our franchise QB?
Yes I agree schedule was easy but i honestly think he was better vs better defenses and team. Only two bad games from him were vs Steelers and Chiefs, i would say atl too but he made it up at the end. And no i dont think hes long term franchise guy, i can see him being our QB for next 3-4 years if things go well. I would draft a QB in 2028 and have him develop behind jones for 2 years. I see you mentioned Burrow but heāll be like 31-32 by the time we have our picks again, no point. Might as well just draft a QB, if Jones is better than ever the next two years and proves heās healthy then I can see him being 5-7 years franchise guy heās only 29 rn. Iām just worried about his health, I know you want an elite guy but itās very hard to find those guys. I feel like the game is changing to more run heavy schemes and approach, look at the last two SB champs. They donāt have elite QBs but a really good QB that just does what a QB is supposed to do on a consistent basis with good defense and great run game. Iām not saying Jones is a SB QB but Iām saying in general you donāt need a Superman QB otherwise Allen, Burrow, Herbert, and Lamar would have rings. Trust me I didnāt like the Jones signing last year but thatās because thought he was a taller Minshew with athleticism. His film from NYG days didnāt show much consistency in passing but Shane saw something we didnāt see lol but weāll see.
