Key word: yet. My interpretation is that Jaune is the "People's Hero" of RWBY. While team RWBY are all extremely skilled badasses with elaborate weapons, Jaune is just an average guy with a sword and shield. Eventually, he grows as a character and a fighter to become very strong. The People's Hero is kind of a western concept, though, so it may not show up in RWBY. AFAIK, Monty is Western-raised so we can expect lots of Western cultural tropes to appear in RWBY.
