I believe in today’s game you have to be able to move around as a QB unless you’re an elite reader of the defense with elite arm talent (Stafford)

On a franchise built on the theory of reward your own guys we’re on the verge of having to cut 2 captains to afford Daniel Jones.

Just because it worked for Darnold doesn’t mean anything, and what nobody is talking about is clearly in the superbowl the Seahawks didn’t trust Darnold either, they kept running the ball, punting, and just flat playing safe with zero turnovers.

The pressure wasn't the problem, it was the leg injury. He had less mobility after that, which allowed teams to disregard him as a threat to run. That meant teams were able to maintain their coverage integrity better, and Jones has never been an elite pocket passer. He's at his best when he can threaten to run and cause coverage breakdowns in doing so.
