If you use jQuery, you have to guarantee that it loads before you rely on it. Load tree (the directive in the last line of application.js) loads the app/assets/javascripts folder, as well as the vendor/assets/javascripts folder, and any scripts declared by Gems, in filesystem order. I don't know the order of operations here off the top of my head, but it seems likely that you would have a hard time guaranteeing that jQuery was loaded before your script tried to use it, particularly if your script name started with an i or lower letter.
