It just kinda gets back to where I was before we signed him - the 'zone buster' stuff is a myth for the majority of guys. It's like calling every mediocre QB a 'game manager' because you can't come up with anything else to call them.
JJSS isn't a zone buster - he has no specific traits that make him more capable of sitting down on a route than Byron Pringle does. He's pretty much a JAG, IMO.

He's really had one exceptional year, a couple of good ones, and then pretty average. The problem is everyone saw 2018 and decided that was the guy, and made excuses for him since. Big Ben can't throw, he just needs to stay injury free for a stretch. All true obviously so it's not to say he won't be great. But there's also enough so-so in there to have a little more doubt.
I think what's been repeatedly said about him is about right. Give him an elite WR1 alongside him and he can flourish. Put him in a roomful of "OK" and he'll probably just give you OK too.
