I just think Daniel Jones will come back to earth this year. Last year was such an outlier from his career up to that point. I wonder if it’s sustainable.

I view "everything goes perfectly" as each questionable situation has a 90th percentile or better outcome.
That would look something like:
- Daniel Jones misses at most 2 games and performs at the level he was performing in the first 8 games of last season.
- Alec Pierce takes on an increased target share and continues to produce at a similar YPC level with 20-30 more catches.
- Josh Downs takes on an increased target share and improves his YPC, having over 1,000 yards and at least close to 100 catches.
- Tyler Warren plays at an All-Pro level and has over 1,000 yards and close to 100 catches.
- The OL is elite across the board, with Matt Goncalves and Jalen Travis establishing themselves as top end starters.
- Laiatu Latu becomes one of the elite pass rushers in the NFL, getting 12+ sacks and being top 10 in pressures and pressure rate in the NFL.
- DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart miss no time, and Buckner plays at an All-Pro level, getting 10+ sacks or close to it.
- CJ Allen competes for defensive rookie of the year, and has a rookie statline similar to 2018 Darius Leonard.
- Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward missed less than 2 games combined, and both play at All-Pro level.
- Cam Bynum and A.J. Haulcy are both turnover machines and ballhawks.
- The offense and defense are both Top 5 in EPA per play.
You're telling me the ceiling on that team is 10 wins? That looks like a 13-14 win #1 seed to me.
