Jones and Alex Smith may have had similar situations, but Jones is way more athletic than Smith. He has rushed for 2200 yards with 15 TD's with an average of 5.5 yards per carry. That's with an offensive line that has been poor throughout his career in NY.

Is Jones on a level with, Mahomes, Hurts, Allen Jackson or Burrow, no of course he isn't. He also isn't a passer in the class of Herbert, Stafford, Love, Daniels, Stroud or Tagovailoa but i do think given the correct tools around him, he is on a par with the likes of Goff, Mayfield, Lawrence, Geno Smith, Wilson, Purdy, Darnold, Murray, Young or Carr for developing as a franchise QB going forward. Caleb Williams is someone who could end up lighting up the field this year, with an improved offensive line and could join the elite guys listed at the beginning.

Richardson is the outlier as he has the raw ability to be better than anyone in the second or third group, but hasn't shown that he belongs here yet.
