Rex Ryan or the collective opinions of the offensive coaches? Jones did indeed light it up and win a national championship. Then next season he got BENCHED. Without looking his complete college career is around 11 starts.
A QB is called a project quarterback for a reason. As reported earlier in the season. Jones was having difficulty proccessing the speed of NFL practices. Imagine him playing with bullets flying. Maybe some sanity prevails here by not throwing him in the fire early. He is a huge gamble, a project and was drafted where he belonged. I doubt he is seriously in any FO conversation as the 2017 starter. The talk about putting him in is silly at this point. Rex is not "hiding him" The kid is far from ready and maybe never will be.
