You can never really know what the idea was but I thought Jones really under threw a few balls.
In general I think his receivers are catching too much blame. He just doesn’t have the arm strength to fit throws down field into tight NFL windows and seems to have an awful habit of throwing off balance which is an awful idea for a guy who throws as he does. The decisions to throw longer passes on multiple third downs were all pretty rough and at least poorly executed. But really it’s mostly the arm strength thing for me, the ball is just in the air a beat or two longer than usual for the NFL and it puts a lot of pressure on the receivers to make plays in traffic and leads to lower YAC opportunities. Wilson shows you that having the arm is clearly not enough but I just don’t think Jones can pick up the 3rd and medium/long type situation with enough frequency to not make them need to be perfect on offense. As it stands pretty much every penalty or negative play leads to a high likelihood of a punt. That is surely true across the board but I think it’s an especially difficult vulnerability of his.
