I'm not saying that. I'm just saying we'd be better off w/ Ehlinger than Daniel Jones.

To say that Ehlinger is on the same level as Jones is ludicrous. I'm not wedded to Jones, but I do want an experienced, athletic, younger QB (mid to late 20s). How many of those can you name?

Not really considering how terrible Daniel Jones is. Bringing him in would be like bringing Wentz back. Only Wentz is more talented and was at least good at one point in time in his career.

To clarify - I'm not saying Ehlinger is any good. I'm saying that Daniel Jones is that bad.

Daniel Jones is as much better than Sam Ehlinger as Lamar Jackson is better than AR.

I don’t want to sign Jones, but he’s objectively a HELL of a lot better than Sam Freaking Ehlinger.

Talentwise yes, but performance wise he's not. Jones had 1 maybe close to average season in a contract year, but otherwise he's been a shit show. He's so bad that NYG ran him out of town and took at ~$20M cap hit to do so w/ absolutely nothing in return. Like I said earlier, bringing in Jones would be like bringing in a worse version of Wentz.

And yes I fully realize that we need someone better than Ehlinger backing up/competing w/ AR. Like most of us on here I actually think Bean is much better than Ehlinger and said numerous times that Bean should have been on the roster rather than Ehlinger.

Just for fun I prorated Ehlinger's and Jones' career stats to a 17 game season and here's what you get (rounded to the nearest whole number):

Jones: Passing - 64% completion %, 3,593 yards, 17/12 TD/Int ratio. Rushing - 537 yds, and 4 TDs. Also, 12 fumbles/yr

Ehlinger: Passing - 63% completion %, 3,247 yards, 17/17 TD/Int ratio. Rushing - 493 yrd, 0 TDs. 11 fumbles/yr



So objectively speaking Jones is slightly better than Ehlinger. Not leaps and bounds like some of you think he is. And again I'm not trying to prove how "good" Ehlinger is b/c he clearly isn't. I'm justing showing you bad Daniel Jones actually is.

Here are your under 30 alternatives...should they be available. Darnold (doubtful), Wilson, Lance, Rush, Fields, Mac Jones, Daniel Jones.
