Yet when given the chance guys like Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito outplayed Jones w/ the same talent around them.



Jones was a good player for Cutcliffe in college and seems to be a decent guy, so of course Cutcliffe is going to have good things to say about him. Fair point on his teammates although that really doesn't mean anything if Jones doesn't start producing.



Fair points. Although I do believe that AR working w/ Allen's QB coach should lead to improvement. And while I've been critical of the signing I do realize that this isn't that bad of a deal since if Jones doesn't turn things around then we just let him walk w/ no long term harm done. I just don't understand all of the love he's getting on here.[/QUOTE]

Devito and Taylor had very small sample sizes and had not played enough to be shell shocked by pummeling, as Jones had.

I don't feel there is that much love for Jones on here. Fields had more love. He was the best choice from a financial and competitive prospective.

I was saying Fields from the beginning also… based off athleticism and the college resume, but the more I think about it Fields has become a run first guy scared to throw into traffic. He hasn’t won anything or played in any big games, unless you count division games in which he couldn’t beat the Packers at all.

Throw into there Fields and AR are buddies jerseys swapped after practice so I highly doubt he was ever an option.

Jones wants to be a starter and is willing to do whatever he has to do.

AR says all the right things but I’m frankly over the off field stories, he’s a great kid that stays and cleans tables for staff members, he’s hungry he’s ready to get to work, he’s involved on the sideline listening to the play calls when he’s injured, he’s working with Josh Allen… blah blah fuckin blah.

Fuck all the charades produce on the field and stay on the field I could care less how many tires you change on the highway
