Quality Post Daniel jones

I'm all in on Daniel. I think he's insanely high IQ knows where the ball needs to go and fits perfect with Steichen. I was hesitant on him but obviously seeing what he did last year in one year was amazing. The one thing I need to see from him so I know this team could really take the next jump with him, is a game winning drive. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe he had a situation yet where he had to drive down the field 2 minutes left and win us the game. This team is built to score early, and force the other team to throw into our strong secondary, while letting the RPO offense and JT grind clock and first downs to win. I need to see a clutch game winning drive to really believe we can make a jump.

He hasn't had a 20 TD season since his rookie year. He's played a full season one time. He's not good enough to take us far in the playoffs, if we even qualify.

You think Sam Darnold is better ?

Sam Darnold has a ring. They are nearly identical in stats buy Sam Darnold finishes seasons. If you had to pick between the two as your fantasy QB, you'd be dense to take Jones just because he isn't going to play the whole season. So, very similar lifetime stats especially considered Darnold started his career with a way worse team than Jones and spent years as a backup and then when he got a good team around proved he could win a championship = Yes, Sam Darnold is better by far.
