One of the reasons I was excited they drafted Jones is being from here you get a little more insight into him.
For example, I saw him throwing darts in high school and asked "Who is that guy"?.
His teammates were on the news last year for desigining a contraption that got him on the field. Think about it. His teammates are engineers. Not pro football prospects. They cared about him enough to design and build that harness for him. And Jones had the toughness to get back out on the field and play with that contraption.
Also played majority of 2017 season with cracked ribs.
This is actually a big concern of mine that doesn't seem to discussed enough around here. He has a pretty long injury history going back to high school. He played in 2017, but he it definitely hampered his effectiveness and probably a big reason he wasn't being touted as a big time prospect going into 2018. 3 broken bones in less than 5 years isn't great.
I thought Wentz was a surefire franchise prospect when he came out, but his injury history gave me pause. Hasn't really done anything in the pros to make anyone think he is going to have more than a handful of seasons where he plays 16 games.

It's an interesting thought. But Jones was able to play at least 11 games in each of his three years as a starter. So that's positive.
To be fair, Wentz broke his wrist his senior year. But outside of that, he was actually pretty healthy. He played every game as JR when NDSU won the 1-AA title. And in that senior year, despite missing over half the season, Wentz did come back and lead the Bison to back to back 1-AA titles...

That's my kind of QB.
Yup. This guy’s tough as nails.
Not to mention countless examples of him taking a hit in the pocket to make a completion. He’s got an old school NFL game.
Than he was in college. Duke ran him quite a bit and if you watch Jones he’s not exactly a slider, he was trying to always get as much yardage as possible. For context, Rosen, Darnold and Herbert all had under 200 rushing attempts in first 3 years, Josh Allen and Carson Wentz has under 240 rushing attempts. Duke ran Jones over 400 times in 3 years at Duke and he was taking hits, couple that with Dukes poor pass pro and. jones willingness to stand in and take hits and it’s not a recipe for protecting your quarterback from taking big shots.

He had a litany of injuries in high school which is why he ended up at NDSU.

Can we change yours to indicate that no actual research was done?
Ya know ive observed you've come after me time and time again, its actually turning into harassment.
I've also observed you've picked a lot of fights with a lot of people here. I would encourage you to change your tone...

I would encourage you to somehow get past your strange obsession with Davis Webb and also look into what actually constitutes research.
What an encouraging day.
