The Daniel Jones effect is difficult to quantify

One game against a total shit team doesn't convince me however and nobody seems to be convinced he can lead us to the promised land of a Super Bowl. If he can hit deep passes like he did Sunday on a consistent basis people may be wrong. I am happy to have something positive to root for.

I 100% agree that they wont trade AR, and they wont do so because of the reasons you mentioned.

These are sunk costs. You make the statement that we might Only get a sixth rounder for him, suggesting that's what he's worth. So he is a sixth rounder with a $9M cap hit this year and a $10M cap hit next year.

I dunno how all this works, but just know I don't need to see anymore to know that AR is dead weight against our cap. I'd rather have the 6th rounder with a $1M cap hit to maybe make a play on special teams.
