One thing I've noticed, is anytime Jones is flushed outside the pocket, there's never EVER a throw downfield or to anyone at all. He either chucks it out of bounds, or runs out of bounds.
Usually, normally, that should create something as WRs can break off their routes and generally the secondary can't keep up, but with us, NEVER.
Is that on our WRs, or Jones or both?
When he starts rolling to the right I wish he would just take off and run. Everytime he throws it in bounds it feels like a pick waiting to happen.
I see other NFL QB's take the time to scramble and then make plays to guys who get open or are breaking open.
Jones just either tries to run or throw it out of bounds. His mind just doesn't allow him to look around and make a play. This is every year...not just yesterday.
It must be frustrating to all the receivers knowing he is either going to throw behind you, overthrow you, underthrow you or just ignore you!
My section has been pointing that out ALL year.
I want Jones gone as much as the next guy.
But these receivers flat out suck at that.
Me thinks it is coaching.
Jones likely was never going to be a good quarterback, even if given a great situation, the fact that he had years of arguably the worst situation any QB could go into just makes this whole idea of it working out even more laughable.
Taking Nabers and signing Lock set us back at least a year. Maybe we'll have the sense to move on finally.
PS I like DJ as a human being and thought Nabers was WR1 since October of last year. We have no QB.
Not saying he is consistent or defending him but it's not 100% correct

Just to play devil's advocate - if you know (or believe with relatively high certainty) that your QB is not going to throw it during a scramble drill, wouldn't you actually advise your receivers to allow themselves to "stay covered" (essentially) so they can shift to blocking once DJ breaks contain?
What's the benefit of running away from defenders if the QB won't throw it? All they'd be doing is removing themselves from a blocking opportunity in that scenario. Conversely, that does mean that those receivers are never opening themselves up for a pass anyway, so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy to assume that DJ won't throw once he leaves the pocket.
IMO it's hard to get a sense of whether certain actions are part of the problem with a bad offense, or if they are desperate attempts to cobble any sort of offense out of a dysfunctional group of players on that side of the ball (starting with a flawed/limited QB). Given how many other decisions Daboll appears to be trying to take care of on DJ's behalf before the ball is ever snapped, I'm inclined to believe it's the latter rather than the former, but that's purely my opinion.
Combined they had about six or seven sacks, plus a couple run situations for minimal gain, where they literally moved into pocket pressure or froze into a sack.
So I think Jones probably can identify everything going on on film. He's probably great in the film room. Sundays are another matter.

He should get therapy staying centered and focused in pressure moments.

What kind of therapy is that? I'd love to take that
That said, Jones just isn't a playmaker in any sense of the word.
NEVER is harsh, and correct.
I can't think of one play in his career where he rolls from pressure and heaves it deep.
Every QB in the league does it.
