Couple other guys have touched on it but it's been brought up on in the media a couple times by Kevin Woodley who writes for ingoal. Yes, Jones has been terrible but the defense does him no favors. The amount of screens, east to west plays, and open slot shots allowed would make just about any goalie cry at night.
Both Jones and Dell finished bottom 10 (4th last and 9th last) in the NHL in high danger chances save % last season among goalies playing more than 20 games (Almost exactly 60 goalies played 20 games last season). So 56th and 51st out of 60.
I watched probably 50 Sharks games last season and every playoff game and as much as their team defense might be a little off and they struggle to keep the opposing team to the outside, Jones had one of the worst seasons i have ever season from a starter....
And believe me, other teams have awful defense too. As a NYR fan it was pretty tough to watch how awful we played defensively last season even if it was expected. Lundqvist still had .907 save % and Lundqvist had a pretty bad season.
Jones had a .896 save % and .898 save % in the playoffs. Watching Jones last season reminded me of Scott Darling in Carolina. Jones wasnt as bad as Darling in 17/18 but he was completely off and never looked like he played the right angles or made good reaction saves... There is no way to defend Jones' season. He was awful...
