2. Jones.

As you point out, both options are terrible.

But Jones will be a good teammate overall and to the rookie QB in particular, and accept coaching even if he isn't capable of executing it properly. The only disruption he will cause is contribute to losing by sucking, unlike Rodgers who does that and more/worse. Also Jones might still stick in the league as a backup even after a bad year with your team (whereas after another bad year with a different bad team absolutely nobody will sign Rodgers even as a water boy) -- which means the following year you might get a lowish round comp pick for Jones leaving for elsewhere.
