fumbles 5-
rushing yds. 500+

Comparable to his rookie stats of 3700yds, 24td, 12int, 300yds rushing. Unless he's shellshocked, I don't think it's outlandish to think he could replicate it.

And again, not to say I expect this caliber of ascension from him... But Sam Darnold had worse numbers than Jones, floated around, and then had an MVP-worthy season out of nowhere.

Jones wouldn't have to do all that. Hopefully he does... but he could have ok, efficient numbers, move the chains, rely on the weapons and compliment the defense rather than gas them and win games.

That could be enough for Steichen and Ballard to make the point(s) they need to make to CIG... Points being A.) finding a QB is a crapshoot and B.) that they can field a competitive team even with Daniel Fucking Jones at QB, so you'll want us when we hit at QB.
