Jones completed seven of 15 passes for 61 yards and threw a pick in Sunday's preseason loss to New Orleans.
Jones' interception in the closing moments of Sunday's game can be forgiven, considering he was backed up against his own end zone and facing fourth down. What is significantly less excusable is Jones breaking the cardinal rule of two-minute drills by taking back-to-back sacks, which cost the Chargers a total of 24 yards and put them in the aforementioned predicament. Jones' big arm makes him a very intriguing project for offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt to mold in his vertical scheme. Sunday showed, however, that while Kellen Clemens is far from spectacular, he's the safer backup to Philip Rivers at this point.
