If there is a great trade before the draft fine. Otherwise I keep him to start the season then if Jones looks like he's back. trade him to a QB needy team before the trade deadline.

For the record. I do like Riley, but I think AR can still be very very good
I’m all in on Riley, I’ll go on record and say if Jones isn’t ready to start the season Riley may not give him the job back. Or if Jones starts and then misses any time for another injury, Riley will be the starter after that.

All it’s gonna take is for Riley to get out there and lead us to a couple wins

Trade AR to Miami for Tua.

Or have you seen Tua play? He's a statue, who comes unglued when his first read isn't open.

And not to mention that Tua is one big hit away from having his career ended.

You’re talking about a guy who lead the league in passing yards in 2022 and qb rating in 2023. He’s done far more in this league than Daniel Jones ever has.

As far as injuries, Tua has missed 15 games in 4 seasons while Jones has missed 28 games in 7 seasons, so he’s no more injury prone than Jones.

In terms of performance on the field, Tua is objectively better than Jones.

As for the contract, I’m not sure the difference between what Tua is making now and what Jones will end up getting will be enough to be prohibitive. Besides, we have cap space.

He's not that guy anymore.

He’s 27 years old. Younger than Jones. What makes you say he’s not that guy anymore?

If Shane Steichen can get a career year out of Jones, he can theoretically do the same with Tua, a guy who is MUCH more talented.

He's shell shocked from all of the concussions. Like I said, it's usually 1st read or bust. Watch his footwork or lack thereof. He plays QB like Marvin Hagler use to box. he lock into his stance and the ball is coming out from that platform, come hell or high water. he's terribly inaccurate on swing passes and screens because of this.

I'm not all in on Riley like you are, but man, I hope you're spot on. My favorite team being led by a QB from my favorite college team? Let the good times roll.
