For me on Jones, it will be how he responds after the bye.
His last two games have been his worst two for the Colts. Lots of reasons but I think the blueprint against him is that he has been moved of his mark A LOT in the last two games. Early in the season when that happened, he seemed good throwing on the run. In the last two games, not so much.
If the Colts are smart at all, they worked in a hot read into every passing concept that did not have one during the bye. If the blitz is coming, Jones needs to make they pay with the quick hit to Warren, Downs or Taylor.
He also needs to learn to climb the pocket better rather than bail out back or to the side.
How he responds will be, IMO, the read needed to see if he should be paid long term.
