Both are low wattage players. One got rewarded for mediocrity by a desperate new team. The other overpaid to keep the same mediocre at best QB on the roster.
Arizona got more bang for their buck from wildly overpaid Kyler Murray last year--and he only played 11 games.
They are paying Carr to throw the ball. Combine any and all TDs by Jones and he still had fewer than Carr. The Giants would have been smarter to draft David Mills for that level of production instead of paying 40 million a year for it.
He doesn't play Defense.
It's 4 games, not 5. 2012, he came in for RG3. In those games, he had 1000+ yards, 66%, 5 TD, 1 int, 2 rushing TD....despite getting sacked 14 times.
Consistently unavailable. He's been a disappointment the past 2 seasons--done before the last month of the season.
Jones's best season was his rookie year, 4 years ago.
lol thanks.
I've started few threads over the past 14 years. This seemed like a decent opinion seeker. It had little chance to invoke Josh (his girlfriend/new house/handicap/beard/every interview utterance), McD, Hopkins, Ertz or Digg's tossed helmet. But we are only 2 pages in so....
If the best thing about a huge/overpriced contract is that you can get out of it in 2 years....that makes it not a great deal for the team.
Rogers for 2 years at 10 million more per year is a far better deal than Jones.
If the team in question didn't so utterly depend on it's RB, this would be easier. But with the cap increasing every year, it's hard to justify the Giants not popping 2-3 mil more on Barkley. Where would it come from? Jones would have taken 2-3 mil less per year...because he sucks---and needs Barkley in the backfield.
