Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard, ala Johnny Unitas and Earl Morrall.

Fortunately, Jones and Leonard are both younger and more mobile than Unitas and Morrall were when they played for the Colts between 1968 and 1971.

Outside of Earl Morrall's 1968 MVP season and 2 games that Morrall played in 1970, Unitas and Morrall were not very good quarterbacks for the seasons that they played together between 1969 and 1971 ...... in fact, they were rather shitty themselves.

Daniel Jones' was a better quarterback in this 2025 season than either Morrall or Unitas were between 1969 and 1971. And yes, I am taking into consideration the fact that the rules protecting quarterbacks and inhibiting defenders are way different now than they were between those 1969 and 1971 seasons. Jones was a good quarterback on the whole this year, particularly before he broke his left fibula. Unitas and Morrall were slightly below average quarterbacks from 1969 through 1971 who were playing on great teams.
