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

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
