Pretty much. I've heard a million arguments on why JBL was made a champion but the bottom line is it didn't really make much sense at the time, and since he hasn't done anything interesting since it was a waste. He was an okay heel, because people naturally hate him, but he wasn't a great champion or a worthwhile investment.
Now he's a former champion, and hasn't done anything since and likely won't.

They easily could have used the oppurtunity to give RVD or Booker T the push they deserved and went on to get anyways. Or, they could have used Jericho. The bottom line is the injury bug hit Smackdown at that time, but there were at least 5 more sensible options before plucking one of the members of APA 2.0 off of Velocity and throwing the title on them for a year without much thought.
