Or is it because of Little Nicky and the supreme talent he has surrounded him with?

Mix of both probably. He’s pretty talented and extremely accurate, but he’s also playing with about 8-9 NFL guys so he doesn’t have to do too much and put up sick numbers.

And he just does not make bad decisions.

Yeah. I kinda feel bad for him because he'll end up like Tua struggling to throw the ball in the nfl

I think it’s a little of both. Because of their O line, he hardly ever faces legit pass pressure. The two times he has today he’s floated a dangerous pass that Smith made a great catch on, and he’s had a pass batted back to him, which he unwisely caught.

The TD he just threw was good. Before that he was just standing flatfooted after the snap throwing to a wide open receiver or dumping it underneath to Harris

Having that OLine and Najee to dump it off will hide any QBs weakness IMO

He seems pretty accurate with his throws.

Yeah but up until the last TD he's not making difficult throws.

Huh? He’s got a much better arm than Tua. He’s faster too. All the talent around him obviously help, but he’s pretty damn good.,

There’s ALOT of QBs in the country that would look like Jones with what he has surrounding him.

No.

He doesn’t even look that good.

Smith is.

Give him an average WR there and he’s an average QB.

Exact same argument could've been made about Burrow last year.

Which WR caught over half his TDS?

You also saw Joe do insane things in the pocket. Make tight throws.

Sure, if you didn't actually watch Burrow play.

He won’t be very good in the NFL if I had to guess.

Burrow demonstrated great escapability and made great throws on the run. Jones hasn’t done that, nor has he really had to.

Look at the spread of touches each WR and his TE got.

In reality Joe made LSUs O-Line look elite and not the other way around
