I wouldn't say that the teams that Matt Jones played on were much worse but undercoached and not developed much like Matt Jones himself.
No matter what people think of Urban Meyer, he is a much better coach than Nutt. Tebow was a much more disciplined player than Matt Jones.
He wouldn't be a heisman candidate at QB because his arm strength wasn't good. His best chance was at WR.
He missed out in 2005 because Nutt and his terrible QB development led to pulling off his redshirt in the middle of the 2001 season.
Even if Matt Jones did play in 2005, Nutt would still underachieve because he can't develop quarterbacks. Nutt would still pull the redshirt off of Casey Dick with three games left and screw his freshman year.
Yes went 4-0 but then 0 for October and it ended up a deflated season.

He would have been a better choice at QB than Jones because he had a stronger arm. Then Jones should have been moved to WR. If Nutt ever cared a bout QB development then the 2002 and 2003 seasons would be better.

I remember the 06 USC game. McFadden was injured, Casey Dick had back surgery Felix Jones had fumbled plenty. Robert Johnson was the starter and the team was scared of USC.
It was a disaster waiting to happen.

Of course. Isn't he still playing tight end for the Jags?

Matt Jones was fun to watch but those Nutt offenses made your eyes bleed.
If you had a good defense then you can easily stop a one dimensional offense even with Matt Jones.

I remember him. Wasn't he the quarterback for Ark v OM in the 7 OT game with Eli? (Didn't read the whole thread)

Yes. He was an amazing athlete at QB but couldn't throw. I remember the miracle on markham where he competed maybe 3 passes all game but made the one that mattered to Decoro Birmingham in the corner of the end zone to beat LSU. That loss made that Thanksgiving day suck as a kid for me. To this day that was one of the hardest LSU losses I have ever felt and I am 46 now.

Yes I think that was his first SEC game as a true freshman. Arguably the most talented athlete to come out of Arkansas in my lifetime. He broke Corliss Williamson’s conference scoring record in basketball. For the uninformed Corliss Williamson is widely regarded as the greatest high school and college basketball player in Arkansas history.
It is a shame that he simply didn’t care. He could have had a monster NFL career if he had just actually wanted to play receiver. I think getting to be the quarterback just barely made it worth his while honestly.

The Nutt system? Nutt had an offense?
