Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 24.1?
Jones grades in the bottom third of qualifying QBs because his plays lost expected points and his completions fell short of what was expected. Turnovers and sacks, including two lost fumbles against Houston, did the most damage. The sample is small: 104 dropbacks over 3 games.
Holding it back
- EPA per dropback was -0.172, 23rd of 27 QBs, even against defenses easier than average.
- Completion percentage over expected was -0.6 points, 21st of 27.
- Costly plays: a Week 3 sack-fumble vs HOU (-6.3 expected points) and a Week 1 interception vs BAL intended for Treadwell (-4.8).
