5 of 15 (33%).  Still worse than McCarron.

Overall Jones completed 58.2% of his passes.  AJ completed 66.4%

Jones threw 3 tds and 4 ints.  AJ had 6 tds and 2 ints.

Jones had a 77.3 passer rating.  AJ had a 97.1 rating.

Jones had 5 rushes for (minus 5) yards.  AJ had 14 carries for 31 yards and a first down.


AJ was better than Jones in every way.  It is not even close.
