Jones is terrible at pressuring the QB. Here's a stat for you, 136 players in the NFL had more QB pressures in 2015. Jarvis Jones had just 6 QB pressures for the year, good for the 161-186th place. Very poor!

How did the Steelers as a team rate on QB Pressures?
33 Cameron Heyward DE 21 QB pressures
51 James Harrison LB 17 QB pressures
59 Stephon Tuitt PIT DE 16 QB pressures
73 Arthur Moats PIT LB 13 QB pressures
129 Bud Dupree PIT LB 8 QB pressures
180 Jarvis Jones PIT LB 6 QB pressures.
Jarvis Jones ability vs the run remains the fools gold currency of this board. He makes very few tackles. He's often he blocked, unable to engage or make a play.
If Jones was a 3rd or 7th round pick, I'd still want him replaced as the starter.
Oh, how I wish we drafted Carl Nassib in round two. That was my mock and pick on draft day. The guys doing well on the Stains.
Ark,
I'm comparing him to the NFL, which includes many players who do not start and had fewer snap counts. I do not think Jones played that often in coverage, as I have not seen him do it in the nickle or dime, and that's what we play most.
Chick didn't play vs the Eagles. He played just one pre-season game so far this season, but he has made a lot of plays in camp, which is something Jones has not done. So I have hope for him.
I'm not saying Chick is the savior, but I am saying he deserves some of Jones chances to see if he might be a better option. Last year I was a tad upset to see Howard Jones cut. He had 5 sacks as a part-time player, double the amount, Jarvis Jones.
I also want to point out that Arthur Moats, a backup doubled the amount of QB pressures compared to Jarvis Jones.
It's really not that hard to add 2 and 2 here. Jones isn't a rookie anymore. He's a finished product. As a pass rusher, Jarvis Jones is the worst option we have among the OLB's and DE's who played his amount of snaps or more.
The point is, in one post you show JJ's pressures. In the very next post, you say you can't compare Chick to JJ because he doesn't have the same snaps.
If you want to compare JJ to others, your own words say you should only compare him to people with around the same number of snaps. Can't have it both ways. I showed you one game where Chick had a lot of snaps (about half of JJ's for that game) and did nothing. Zero, zilch, nada. That doesn't bode well for Chick when JJ did get, at least, .5 sack and a tackle (only one or two).
So, you go do that. Don't compare him to the Aaron Donalds of the world. Compare him to people with the same basic # of snaps. You should, really, go further and see how many of those were run plays versus pass plays, but I am not sure that data is readily available anywhere. He may still come out at rock bottom, but do your homework and stop posting nonsense stats.
You don't need to convince ANYONE that JJ isn't what the team needs. So, you can stop. Please.
You want to convince people that Chick is the answer, but there is no back up for that. You ought to wait until there is. Or wait until everyone that truly understands stats, logic and/or football leaves the board.
