Seems it is gonna be D Jones

Jones had some good years as well along with a playoff win. A constant coaching carousel and losing Barkley didn’t help him at all.

No, Jones didn't have good years in NYG. He had 1 ok year in 2022. He also had Saquan in 2019, and 2021-2023, and he had Nabors and Tyron Tracy Jr. who's a good receiving back in 2024.

His college coach who also coached both Mannings had very high praise for his intelligence and toughness.

Of course his college coach is going to say good things about him. Unless a player was a complete shitbag his former college coach will always say good things about him.

Got the contract in New York and was put in an impossible situation as far as expectations.

It wasn't just expectations. Jones completely shit the bed in 2023 coming off that big payday. I know he got hurt, but his play prior to that was just plain god awful.

He can still play and will make the easy completion look routine

While being able to make easy completions will be refreshing to see after watching AR in 2024, almost all QBs in the NFL (starters and backups alike) are capable of doing this.

Okay, my best comp to Daniel Jones is Alex Smith.

That's actually a pretty fair comparison since Smith sucked too before Harbaugh helped him start turning things around. Hopefully you're right in that Jones turns his career around like Smith, but I'm not going to hold me breath.
