Hopefully Jones proves us all wrong, but I am definitely concerned that Jones plays just well enough to get us to the playoffs, then we pay him, and that's followed by him completely shitting the bed like he did in NY.

Yeah it would be a different story if through camp Jones was clearly the better option. I’ve not seen any report suggesting that and I haven’t seen it in the preseason games either. You have the one play that is an issue, but reverse that play with the Jones fumbled snap (give jones the sack and AR the fumble) and I feel like certain people would use the fumble as an example of ARs issues. Jones has not been clearly better than AR. Maybe marginally better as a 6 year vet. He is who he is.
