I would have thought he means that Moshe's nevu'ah was the message itself,
and everyone else got metaphor. However, Yirmiyahu was consistently
able to fully explain the metaphor, while for other nevi'im, part of
the message was not explainable (or perhpas just went unexplained)
by the navi.

Tir'u baTov!
