Jones has been commanding the starting job with Brock Purdy suffering multiple injuries early into the campaign. Jones has kept San Francisco afloat while Purdy recovers from his multitude of injuries, but it came with some ups and downs for the former.
Jones does have a great record in his six starts, going 4-2 in those games. However, the point differential in all the games San Francisco played in is -4, the worst in the NFC West Division.
One reporter pointed that out to Jones during Thursday's press conference, via 95.7 The Game. The quarterback didn't take that to offense, responding to the statistic by noting the difficulty of winning games in the league in convincing fashion.
"Mhm, haha, nice, haha. I learned that early on in my career: I would be frustrated if we didn't win by a lot of points. I realized that winning in the NFL is so hard," Jones said.
