Once people watch film they are seeing what others have said. Jones won't go number 1 but after starting just 1 year in college his command of the position is far beyond what you would expect. His ceiling is higher than folks give him credit.

The guy threw to wide as open guys, with all the time in the world.  Never shows any escapable or ways to elude pressure.

he also didn’t have zip to throw through tight windows.

 

i get people say, look he has a cannon, he can throw it 50 yards etc etc.  so could Will Grier.  But to have the constant zip and pro arm, he doesn’t have.

him being projected in the top 20 is insane 

 

 

literally, the clip from the senior owl everyone is rerunning when talking about how good he is.  It’s a 15 yard  dump off where the WRs cleared out where no one was within 15 yards from the pass catcher and Mac simply led him.  I could do that.

Come on man he has plenty of zip on the midrange.  Someone posted a breakdown earlier today and it showed.  The problem is his deep ball

Can you hack a National Championship winning season together?

If I had 4 of the top 5 WRs to come out of the draft in 2 years, the top OL,RB and Defense, sure

 

wins don’t mean crap for scouting a QB

 

see Ken Dorsey, Chris Weinke, and Bama QBs prior to Jalen Hurts

Take him off Alabama and he's prepping for an insurance job right now.

This is something I keep trying to explain to the Jones fans.

He didn't actually show very many NFL traits.  He was the beneficiary of a completely loaded Alabama roster.  He in fact lost the only game he played in decided by less than two scores.  I do not count the Florida game this year since it was two scores until the garbage time TD.

I would argue that you could put any of the top 10 college QB's in the draft on that Alabama team and come up with the exact same or better results.

Watch the tape. Most of his good throws are 1/3 field throws.

So if in the middle of the field between the hashes. 

If on the hash then towards the boundary.

When he makes throws to the field he struggles with placement and timing. 

It's not hard to defend that in the NFL. 

Take away the immediate 3rd and put guys on an island on the outside.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
