Production Score................74.................69
Athletic Score.....................75................95
Total Score.........................77................80
QB Prospect in Class............2nd..............4th
Prospect Grade...................6.30.............6.40
Now, I totally get that AR has the athletic edge and there are no arguments from me that he is physically gifted.
But we also know that QBs typically take a couple of years to develop in the NFL. Very, very few QBs are at their best in their first couple of years in the NFL.
We are getting one QB who has navigated that period in their career and one who is stalled because of lack of playing time from injury and competition.
Do you think AR has that much higher of a potential ceiling than DJ? And if so, do you think he has the mental abilities to get there?

I have been critical of Jones in the past but think there is a distinct possibility I was full of shit. I am more than happy to have been proved wrong. I hope this guy keeps growing and is all pro for us. I still would want AR to reach his potential. I think the kid got a shit deal here to begin with. The wrong decision was made and now I am hoping the Colts and AR are trying to rectify it. I have taken to liking AR as a person and think his talents are other worldly. So yeah I am rooting for him, it doesn't mean I am not thrilled with Jones however.
