Yes the embarrassing game with UNLV that led 7-3 until the final seconds that involved a revolving door of QBs. I watched that game live and never seen an offense that bad. Then the rest of the year showed an offense that was an embarrassment until the Weber State game. But that was totally unnecessary as Nutt was the coach for three years and still had no replacement for Stoerner.

Jones wouldn't start for any other SEC team. His arm wasn't strong enough and in a sense was never a true QB that could drop back and throw darts. He was a job security player and that was all Nutt was concerned about.

His arm actually was pretty damn strong for what he was. He was a true dual threat way ahead of his time.

Put him on some of today's teams and he is a Heisman winner. That guy was a freak of nature and one of Arkansas' all time greats. You really should stop bad mouthing him like this.. Super rare talent. He was like a combo of Cam Newton and Johnny Manzeil basically. One of the most exciting players i have ever watched stuck on a bad team.
