If you view it through that lens, they made the right choice. It also tells us that a long term deal with Jones is still coming, regardless of whether they are able to keep Pierce.

As someone who does not think Jones is the answer at quarterback, I think they’re nuts.

Bingo. I would keep Pierce and give Leonard a legit shot. What do we have to lose? Jones scares me more than Leonard does. Get hurt again? Revert back to his Giants days? If Jones is the final answer, it better be an incentive loaded deal.
