Tell that to Sam Darnold, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield.
I really wouldn't include Mayfield in the discussion since he had some pretty good years in CLE and his regression was mostly due to an injury before the Browns pulled a Browns and ran him out of town.

Obviously QBs turning around their careers can and does happen, but that's more the exception and not the rule. Also, it should be pointed out that all 3 of those guys had multiple stops and in Darnold's and Smith's cases several years before they took their big steps forward.

I'm not saying that Jones will definitely not turns things around, but history isn't on his side.
