Just a note on Daniel Jones.

One of the biggest criticisms against him was that he did not throw the long ball very well.

Currently, DJ is tied with Sam Darnold, Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott with the most 40+ yard passes completed in the NFL (6).

DJ is tied for 9th place in the NFL for 20+ yard passes completed with 23 with the leader having 30.

He is 4th in passing yards per attempt (8.5 ypa).

He is tied for 3rd in fewest sacks taken (9) (of full time starters).

All that rolls up to say, he is not just a dump off passer. He is hitting targets down the field (which we all know through the eye test) and a defense has cover the entire field rather than just the short stuff.

In addition:

He is 5th in completion precentage (71.2%).

He is 6th in Quarterback Rating (109.5).

What a crazy season so far! And much of that is due to Daniel Jones aka Danny Dimes aka Danny Diamonds aka Indiana Jones!
