So, you have doing better against a better defense than he has done all year? ok.

English please…
Better than who? Dallas is 31st against the pass.
and the pats played the 32nd worst and didnt get near that....it really has not mattered, but dallas still has playmakers on the defense and they get turnovers. For him to get those numbers he would have to pass like 60 times. You are looking at yards. Teams that score a lot give up a lot of passing yards because teams are passing late. If you look at the QB rating the cowboys give up its 85 which is 7th in the league. Pats have played 2 teams way down at the bottom of QB rating given up and did not even get close to that numbers. So unless the pats start getting beat by 30 points, he will not see those stats.
Said no one whatsoever. Did he or did he not statistically have a better game then the previous RT fill-ins thus far this year?
Your sister sleeps with giant seacows....there, English
Yes, I see him starting to break out. He's figuring out how to use the TE's, I think they are starting to gel. I see a good game in his future. Plus the Cowboys are #15 in Points Allowed, so they aren't that great of a defense, middle of the pack
So you are doing a complete guess based on nothing? Ok. I guess that works. I am sure he will have another good game at some point, they still get to play the jets and jags this year.
275 is pretty close to 302.
For real you are criticizing how well Jomes has played in his first 5 games?
1 td is not close to 3....He said 302 and 3 td's. Since his throws are about 5 yards, he will need to throw about 55 times to get to that number.
You did not follow this conversation did you. Ok. Give me Jones end of the year stats so we can see if you contradict yourself. No, nobody criticized anything. I said he is probably not going to get to those stats that someone estimated. I do not criticize anything in 5 games, I just do not compare QB's to all time greats after 5 games either.
6.5 is not 5.
These were your words.
God I just picked some horrible low number, is it really 6.5? I thought it was around 7 or 8. Is it really only 6.5 a throw? 6.5 is his ypa, that is not how far he throws it per pass. If he throws a ball behind the line on a screen and it goes 10 yards, his ypa is 10.
No, its the truth. I would say prove it wrong, but you do not really have any way to do that, so what I said is true until shown to be wrong. I mean he has faced two of the worst pass defenses in the league in 5 games, and he has 5 td's and 5 ints. The one top 5 pass defense he played he was awful. I have to go by what I have not what I want to happen. Right now 25 td's and 12 ints does not look like a good bet.
What?
What you said is wrong. Flat wrong. He has played well in 4 of 5 games. He has competed 71% of his passes.
He has 5 td's and 5 ints. That is average in 5 games. Actually in todays football, that is not even average. 71 percent, has he thrown a ball farther than 15 yards in the air? Like 1? I actually looked this up. He has 2 passes 20 yards in the air all year. 2. To put that in prespective. Qb's have 40 of such passes. He is throwing safe passes and that is fine, becuase that is what you want him to do, but that does not lead to 300 yards and 3 td games like was mentioned unless also like I said, he throws 50 times. Everything I said, in response to what was said, is true. Its not a knock, its what he is being asked to do.
Your expectations are way out of whack. 6.5 seems about average for top qbs making their first few starts. Im guessing very few qbs historically have been up in the +7 ypa range starting out. Here’s a great post by Pape on another thread that compares his 5 starts against some other QBs.
here's a look back... isolated the first five career starts of the top ten on the current leader board, with Mac slotted in... just to frame the reference
