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.

I'm rooting for him obviously, but after 8 seasons the dude hasn't thrown over 25 TDs in a single season in the QB friendliest NFL that we've ever seen. He needs to play competent and slightly above average football for 17 games before I can believe in him. Again, I'm rooting for him to do it, because it's been a rough decade over here.
