This is year 3 for Jones. Usually QB's show they have the "it" factor by year 3. Allen struggled his rookie year, showed nice improvement in year 2 and then exploded in year 3. Both Burrow and Herbert showed they had the "it" factor right from the start. Mahomes sat for a year but also showed he was going to be a great one early on. Lawrence struggled his rookie year and then had a nice year 2. You can tell he is going to be another great one. So, if Jones struggles this year, then chances are the Pats don't have their franchise QB.
