Jones has started 8 games and has had 4 TDs in 3 of them

Look, I'm past the point of saying these fumbles are rookie mistakes. At this point, I worry about him fixing them and if he doesn't fix them he'll be just wasted potential. But the potential is incredible. As a thrower of the football, he's very good, 8 games in. I want to focus on the positives. God knows we hear enough about the negatives. And those fumbles are scary, he looks like in that one area he's self-destructing a bit. But you know what? If a rookie struggling so much in one area and even self-destructing in that area, playing so well in other areas is actually a great sign to me. He's not letting those fumbles get him down. Arguably a bit too much. But his mental makeup seems like a very big positive.
At the very least

If you fix the Oline the fumbling will go down.

Is an excellent passer, he is not an excellent QB yet, but he is a fucking rookie. A rookie with a horrible head coach and a bad team. The one good that will come out of this is him experiencing playing under these conditions, when he gets some talent and a head coach that can actually help him he could be a great QB, he does need to fix his fumbling, but that will come when he gets a head coach with a clue, a head coach that will play into his strengths and protect his weaknesses, this moron has one way he knows how to operate, and he can not deviate from it because he does not know how.
I am looking forward to what happens  
81_Great_Dane : 11/10/2019 5:56 pm : link
when the game "slows down" for him. Right now, for whatever reason, he can't really run a 2-minute offense (Line? Receivers? Reading defenses? Some combination of these?). Nor does he seem to throw the ball downfield much.

If and when he's making faster decisions, and is better able to throw deep, and CAN HOLD ONTO THE BALL, he should be a very dangerous QB.
Fix the OL

Which I was told was fixed...

And

Teach Barkley how to block. Holy hell. Or put in a FB.

It's not just the terrible protection

I think the fumbling is in his head. There was a fumble where he just dropped the ball. Another one, the ball was just ripped out of his hand. Another was incomplete but he was passing and just dropped the ball. If anything, these comical fumbles and almost fumbles are not as worrisome because they're probably a mental thing at this point and can get fixed.

On pace for 30 and 16. Pretty damn good.
maybe after the bye

we can see if he can fumble on every single drive instead of just three of them!
