One man’s trash…

I'll take Jones on a prove it deal but start talking average QB pay and it's probably going to end closer to how it did in NY. They can spend that extra 20 million elsewhere. And he did play well on his prove it year there too, that's how he got his extension he couldn't live up to.

Some guys are better in that range before their own pay strangles what gives them their best chance at succeeding.

His coaching looks good too but I would still be mighty careful with the extension they are probably looking at for him.

It's less of an uphill battle to build a redemption story when you have the physical tools.

He also has a playoff win.

Honestly amuses me to see people downplaying him considering what we've become accustomed to at QB over the course of 37 games.

If you are talking about how a huge salary would impact the team’s ability to build with quality players, due to the financial burden it imposes, I am in unqualified agreement 

If you mean because the pressure of justifying it affects his performance, I would not swallow that pill unquestionably.
He was in NYC which is the nastiest and more pressure packed media market in the league, and just won’t face the same ‘blood in the water’ viciousness in Indianapolis (or here). 
 

I thought I knew that guy was a good gamble to be rehabbed.and wished we had open minded people making the calls here.

hes a product of the system

 

granted you have to have some baseline talent which he has but he has good coaching there

 

dont think he would do as good elsewhere

That's the coach I wanted well above Reich. He and Stroud would probably be pretty good together

He would probably be balling out in San Fran or Detroit too as some examples.

Undoubtedly, he wouldn't play nearly that well here.

Well anyone is going to look good next to Brian Daboll, who is the worst head coach in the NFL.

It's the first and the second is the inevitable with thr first being met. Dude has 2 good years and both in contract years too.

Pretty sure Tepper wanted BY regardless of the coach. Unfortunately for Panthers fans. I am confident Reich did not want BY.

Seemed very obvious that Frank didn’t want Bryce to be selected.
And having put Bryce on him, Tepper compounded the error by ignoring Frank’s also obvious strong desire to sit him at first because of his atrocious footwork and just general unreadiness. 
 

poo show ensues.

I think the second is less than inevitable, yet still possible of course.
That was kind of a circus in NYC. With a strong staff and the experience he has gotten out of his NYG time, it could be different.

Add Daniel Jones to a growing list of redemption stories including Darnold and Baker.  Ironically he could have been picked up by anyone 

Imagine being the valedictorian for your Ivy League university. Perfect grades, massively well done final projects, research grants and countless mentions in the newspapers and on TV for the strides you made.

And there are only 32 employers out there that can hire you and make use of you. Now imagine that the worst businesses, the ones with the least resources and most chaotic workplaces get first dibs on you.

Trumpian dystopia? Nope. The NFL draft. Killing young QBs since day 1.

    • I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see. 
    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
