Gil Brandt calls Daniel Jones "the same guy" as...

Honestly, it's a really lazy comparison based on the Cutcliffe link. 

Possibly.

I'm not really that high on Jones, but a lot of analysts are so who knows?

Referencing my previous thread, I think quarterback is absolutely the most difficult position to evaluate when it comes to drafting.

Taking away the like him or not factor, they're just very different players.

Peyton's arm was never really all that strong.

It was strong enough to accurately hit any downfield pass he ever needed to make. Cam (before injuries) and Mahomes and some of these guys can chuck the ball further than Peyton ever could but really that doesn’t even matter.

I’m not saying his arm was Josh Allen but, Payton had a respectable armC06E85FF-B7FA-47A3-A7FA-FFD0BA306143.thumb.jpeg.67795d6b01ccd8384063c2a863d7fc22.jpegbut in the case of Daniel Jones people like to point out his arm as a weakness... not the same as with Manning.86F4B98E-0F7E-4B1D-8F03-745AE29E3C84.thumb.jpeg.f9c93ff0abd95e149b15173827ad30c9.jpeg

    • In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa" 
    • Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL 
    • I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
