And speaking of playing against backups - Jones was playing against them too and was not impressive. Even when he played with most of our #1s against backups he was very much underwhelming.

The BAL misread was very bad and can't be looked at in a vacuum at this point. Luckily, he could pop a finger back in, but that's not the point. 9 times out of 10, that shot is a concussion or rib injury or broken jaw or some crazy shit.

In the second game, the 90 yard drive was nice. But the short field after the turnover was back to throwing balls in the dirt. Even his beautiful pass to Gould... It might have been O'Sullivan's breakdown showing the design of the play and how he had a hard time believing AR wasn't supposed to be looking left where the pick was.

Jones has just been steady Eddy all pre-season/camp. Yeah, he missed that deep shot and that's going to be his biggest weakness for sure. But that bald analyst in the video makes an interesting point...

He said something like 12% of NFL throws are deep balls... So AR is better at 12% of the throws and Jones is much better at the other 88%. I mean look at the breakdown they show on all throws under 20-yards. Jones' numbers are actually pretty good and AR's are beyond bad. It's a bad trade-off.
