Okay, let's think. Jaune has been...imcompetent since the very beginning, but this was kind of visible already. He had no landing strategy (falling to your death doesn't count) and had to be rescued. He got stuck in a tree at least twice (once pinned by Pyrrha, second crashlanding into Ruby), he was never shown taking an enemy down directly at any point in time, he couldn't find his locker, and failed to notice Weiss's death stare until it was toooo late.

Still, the latest episode made him the most distinctive character, he's done morally questionable things that put him on ground very similar to the bad guys, and one has to wonder if Jaune is any better than them. The theory of Ozpin knowing the fake transcripts is a relatively valid one, Ozpin's not stupid, and he's seen the transcripts at least once, so it's likely he's aware Jaune faked his way in. This means that he's stringing Jaune along until whatever Ozpin has planned, like just pointing out he knew and doesn't care about them because he knows that Jaune has potential to be like his ancestors. We'll just have to wait until the next episode to find out what happens.
