Obviously QBs turning around their careers can and does happen, but that's more the exception and not the rule. Also, it should be pointed out that all 3 of those guys had multiple stops and in Darnold's and Smith's cases several years before they took their big steps forward.
I'm not saying that Jones will definitely not turns things around, but history isn't on his side.

Jones had some good years as well along with a playoff win. A constant coaching carousel and losing Barkley didn’t help him at all.
His college coach who also coached both Mannings had very high praise for his intelligence and toughness.
Got the contract in New York and was put in an impossible situation as far as expectations. He can still play and will make the easy completion look routine
