People really underestimate the effect having an inept offense has on a defense, especially in the modern NFL.
They're on the field practically the entire time and I'm not sure they've gotten to play with a legit lead for like 3 seasons. Anytime they get a big stop the offense basically comes out, lays in egg in under a minute and then pushes them back onto the field.
And truly mind-boggling that people here are still defending Jones. Injuries didn't make him unable to process defenses. He was average at best before the injuries! What are we even talking about at this point?!
In terms of the one season his QBR was in the top 10, he was also 24th in yards gained per pass attempt. The league literally didn't know how to game plan Daboll/Jones/Giants offense that season as it was Daboll's first as a head coach. After the bye week 9, we went 3-5-1. The only teams we beat were Houston(3-13-1), Wash (8-8-1) and Indy (4-12-1). He started the entire season and had 15 passing tds! 15! The same amount as Marcus Mariota! Mahomes had 41. He threw 2 tds over 5 games to start the next season and we were 1-4!
