It's something about decision making/vision. He's either missing things or afraid to pull the trigger. There was a trick play against Carolina this year that actually ended up working in the design, dude had two wide open receivers... and just stood there to take a sack.

Of the 32 active QBs who have seen the most snaps since Jones came into the league (I.E. the 'starters'), Jones has the third worst success rate and the second worst ANY/A. He has been a very bad starter.

Is this organizational? Can it be fixed? Sure, maybe. The two guys he's ahead of in Success Rate are Sam Darnold and Justin Fields and both of those guys are having near career years right now... (though Fields is doing it as the designated backup. Maybe that's what Jones needs?)
This a short in the brain or a bad processor, I just don't see him working out.
You have to think/see fast and move fast. He has the move fast and that's it.
Paaaasss!

I wouldn't take a flier on him right now, but I don't think I can say any QB is done when their first team gives them the boot either. I'm a fan of a team with Geno Smith throwing the ball after all.
Geno got the hook after his second season as a starter. Daniel Jones didn't until halfway through his sixth. Im ok writing him off. He's ass. Maybe if he spends four seasons as a backup and learns under guys like Philip Rivers and Eli Manning, I'll be ok with signing him a month after the draft to compete with Paxton Lynch for a backup job and maybe become the starter three years later.

Jones ceiling at this point is turning his career around to the point that he’s the new Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Probably a great backup, emergency starter, and will play on five more teams in six years.

Or in a few years, reinvent himself into the next Geno Smith.

Fox, this morning, said he'll be signed as a starter for the rest of this season...just a matter of which team. Sounds like there is 1 team that wants him and his agent is trying to push other teams to drive some competition before Monday.
