IMO Jones was the best looking QB.  I was pulling for Cam but you could tell Jones looked better. 

Lawrence may end up being the best of this class but I think Jones showed that he'll be around for awhile.

I do want to bring up that many didn't want Jones because he was not as athletic as Lance, Wilson or Fields.  I think he shows he has a great chance to be a long time starter.

Won't lie, I think they all look to be pretty good. 

Wilson and Lance showed the most upside, Fields had some really good moments/a few shining throws, but Jones overall showed the most.  

And Trevor coming in with Luck and beyond expectations did not help how he looked.  But it's so damn early.

They all had their moments but Jones IMO was the most impressive.  Not knocking any of the others.  

I know it was only preseason but the hatred for Jones before the draft was so unwarranted.  So many were claiming Jones was a product of the Alabama system and wasn't athletic enough to be drafted in round 1.

      Interesting that people are calling for our DC'S head, when we never would have been in the game if it wasn't for the defense.  Never should have gotten to OT.

      Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.

      Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries.
