Yeah but he doesn’t start. J/k

Let's see if DJ can keep it going, but after 3 games, he has the highest QBR of any QB in the NFL.

My only real concern about Jones is his deep ball. Every one seems to be under thrown. It is going to bite us in the ass someday. I believe he has enough arm (look at what Brady had) but just needs work on timing. It does worry me that this is a major issue with him in his NY days, although he had almost zero pocket time there to set things up.

I would say that that is mitigated a ton by what I think is the most important thing and that is the growing single mind between Jones and Steichen. You cannot overestimate how positive that is for us and for them. They seem to see the same things out there. And what the fuck is up with this bullshit backhand 'compliment' that all these assholes give him of being a 'game manager'? What the hell even is that? How do they separate game managers from whatever they call a non game manager? It is just a way to depreciate what Jones is doing cause great QBs are NOT 'game managers' (again whatever the hell that happens to mean). Sorry, small rant

Solid on both points. I hope that this will improve as he get more comfortable in the pocket and his trust in his OL grows. It seems Like he only seems to have this problem in hitting someone running away from him. The first or second throw to Josh Downs was 30 yards or so and right on the money. Another throw to Warren was ruled not a catch and overturned on a challenge was underthrown:

I agree with you that "game manager" is as meaningless as "strip sack." As long as a game manager is managing to get wins, I don't care what words the talking heads squeeze in between comments about the Cowboys and Eagles.

I'm sure that Carlie Irsay-Gordon would love nothing more than to keep paying out more bonus money to Daniel Jones as the 2025 season continues to progress.

Wild, I guess that's in his contract, 4 wins, 400k... Mitchell should pay him for lost interest, it should have happened last week.

May he receive $1.9 million of bonuses.

If it's $100k per win, that's 19 wins. Only way to go 19-1 would be to win it all.
