I’m not sure what kind of evidence you’re looking for but the fact he appears to be reacting to the public outcry to be more active in FA would be evidence to me he’s attempting to provide some renewed hope . But that’s my perspective and why I’m presenting it as such.
Evidence?
a) Jones stating publicly his fans wanted upgrades at corner and wide receiver before trading for both.
b) Jones commenting on fans' public displays of negativity pushing him to 'look harder' at his decision-making. And then taking steps to lessen or eliminate the directed negativity for that reason.
Those are only two possible examples of tangible
action and
reaction. Your perspective is imagined projection onto what he has actually done. In other words, you have reached for what is not there.
In-stadium fan booing of Prescott early last season has been the only tangible and legitimate causal evidence that can be suggested as a possible attributable motivational factor for Jones. From a logical perspective, it would be extremely difficult tying that type of circumstance with anything Jones has done this offseason. In fact, in relation to your 'perspective of public outcry', Jones would have reacted by making free agency moves in regards to the quarterback position. The only quantifiable acquisition Jones has made for position (so far) was bringing back Rush for ANOTHER go-round. That particularly tiny but
documented 'public outcry' was left unaddressed by Jones.
It is alright to hope for something. It is illogical to substantiate something that does not exist no matter how often it is presented into conversation. First, real public outcry must be definable--not imagined. Second, Jones must be observed closely to determine whether any public outcry actually makes him do anything as a result.
At the very least, can one example of establish 'public outcry' be provided? Perhaps then it can be logically debated as anything Jones has been compelled to do during the past few weeks.
