You seriously listed Tyrone Tracy as a weapon?
Why wouldn't I? In 12 starts this year he had over 1,100 combined yards as a rookie, which included 38 catches for 284 yds. He's obviously no Saquan, but he proved that he is a good receiver out of the backfield (for comparison Saquan had 41 catches for 280 yds his final year at NYG).

His offensive line was shit the entire time he was there, and had to play 4 games a year vs 2 of the best dlines in the NFL (eagles and cowboys)
Yet when given the chance guys like Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito outplayed Jones w/ the same talent around them.

Cutcliffe isn’t just gonna compliment him just because he played for him. Even Giants teammates compliment the guys work ethic and toughness, that’s more than we can say for Richardson.
Jones was a good player for Cutcliffe in college and seems to be a decent guy, so of course Cutcliffe is going to have good things to say about him. Fair point on his teammates although that really doesn't mean anything if Jones doesn't start producing.

The Alex Smith comp is pretty good

Believe me I wasn’t happy about signing the guy I wanted a cheaper option like Ridder, but after diving into it more he was the best option and he still has some good football in him.

I’m more confident that he’ll have a bounce back and revitalize his career like Baker or Darnold than I’m confident Richardson will magically work with some QB coach and turn into Josh Allen overnight.
Fair points. Although I do believe that AR working w/ Allen's QB coach should lead to improvement. And while I've been critical of the signing I do realize that this isn't that bad of a deal since if Jones doesn't turn things around then we just let him walk w/ no long term harm done. I just don't understand all of the love he's getting on here.
