That one pass in his end zone while under duress. I’m sure he knows that too. Okay, so he made a mistake…it happens. This was his first game back so why make a big deal on this one play? Let’s review the positives of the game for him:
1. His numbers were pretty good: 11-18 for 138.
And had Nabers not dropped that long pass down the right sideline…and yes, it was beautifully thrown….Nabers has been catching harder passes than that all preseason….his stats would have been 12-18 for about 170. That’s not bad for one half of football.
2. No sacks, so he got rid of the ball quickly
3. Very accurate long passes…the one to Slayton for 44 was a beaut. The drop by Nabers in quarter 1 was nice. A few others to Nabers were nice.
4. His two minute drill at the end of the first half was tremendous. Too bad we had to kick a FG instead of a TD to tie up the game.
5. Being down 14-10 at half on the road isn’t too shabby.
6. This was Jones first game back from a serious injury. He looked poised and relaxed. Naturally, there will be some rust to shake off. Like I said, his numbers and the score at half are not an indication he stunk. Reading some comments saying otherwise is just not accurate. I think everyone who absolutely cannot cut Jones any slack will see what THEY WANT TO SEE. Like that one ill advised pass…..and forget the rest.
Oh well, I’m sure I can’t convince the hard of heart guys out there, but you should not be hating on Jones for THIS GAME.

I have a feeling if you put guys like Lawrence on truth serum, they probably have a different three word message for Jones, as in ‘Play fucking better.’
What did Papa and Banks say that you found controversial? I am genuinely curious.
Watching that play, it seemed to me that Hyatt just stood there and watched the INT. I thought he should have been fighting for that 50-50 ball.

What about the underthrow to Hyatt that was picked off?

It’s amazing to me that it’s always someone else’s fault.
The organization, its employees and the Jones fans have no problem denigrating any other player on the team. But Saint Daniel does nothing wrong.

Spoke to three players at camp that off the record said they preffered one of the backup QB options.

That's kind of big news
