Well, given the lack of production individually, and that the team is now scoring & lt; 19 PPG (25th/NFL), it's hard not to place Jones 4th.
So for me:
1. Dak (135th pick/2016); 51.3 QBR, 20/7, 70%, 7.8 YPA, 1 TD rushing
2. Hurts (53rd pick/2020); 52 QBR, 13/5, 62%, 7.2 YPA, 8 TDs rushing
3. Heinicke (UDFA/2015); 49 QBR, 15/9, 66%, 7.3 YPA, 1 TD rushing
4. Jones (6th pick/2019); 41 QBR, 9/7, 64%, 6.7 YPA, 2 TD rushing
Jones is just going the wrong way right now. His last five QBRs are 15, 43, 37, 42 and 6. And the team is averaging only 17 PPG in that stretch.
At this putrid pace, Jones is going to end up with 15 passing TDs for the year. Brutally bad.
Time to find his replacement whether it's through the draft(not excited about this QB class),trade or free agency.
This whole roster is a mess not just Jones.
That is the killer. We have the 6th pick; yet, he's by far the least productive of the four.
Don't know how others feel but I do not see any of these QB's ever being QB's you go into the playoffs thinking you have a great chance either today or in future years.

Isnt that good?
Yeah, things like that are very frustrating. A guy like Heinicke, despite his size and limitations, just looks the part more than Jones. He's just a gamer who always seems to find a way.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a dispute on that. Which is why it's hard to argue at this point that Jones is the worst QB in the NFCE right now.

Jones is clearly the worst QB in the division yet he was the highest drafted by far. Brutal.

Our previous QB draftee tried to find a way also, but the cops kept pulling him over on 495 for doing it.

Kyle Lauletta - another Gettleman diamond in the 2018 draft.
And Hurts - right?
The almost from Jones to Slayton on MNF v WFT stands out, too.
Meanwhile, Andrew Thomas has more TDs than Gollaway and Toney - combined.
Heinicke is having a good run but he isn't a good QB. He has played better than Jones this season, and the ranks bare this out. He's a Keenum or a Minshew on a solid run. You could do way worse than him, but ultimately he is not a QB of a winning team.
Hurts is on a nice run as well and the Eagles are winning mainly by running the ball. But is he special and can he sustain his winning ways? I don't think he is a long term answer.
So I really don't think there is that much difference between the bottom three. Maybe based on the recent run of play I would say:
1. Dak
2. Hurts
3. Heinicke
4. Jones
But really only Dak is a keeper, imo.
I remember a thread or two in the offseason about who was the second best QB in the NFCE - assuming Dak as the clear-cut #1. I didn't like Hurts at all and buried him at #4. And because of Fitz's wild mood swings on a field, I figured he would offset his wins with his boneheaded plays for losses. So I defaulted to Jones as the de facto #2.
Six months later, Jones is clearly #4. Without dispute.

Hurts is on some magic carpet ride. The chance he emerges as a solid QB is greater than the other two, for sure. But his throwing, in isolation, is the worst in the division. Can he improve that or can he overcome that? It's a new era for QB play, and he makes an interesting test case. More like him are coming.
