Daniel Jones hasn't thrown 20 TDs in a season since 2019. He threw 36 TDs over the last 3 seasons COMBINED (just 1 more than Burrow threw last year alone). He's never reached 7.0 yards per attempt before. He averages 2,900 passing yards per season.

This is seriously just madness. If I were a GM I would just try to find myself an Alex Smith game manager every 4 years in the draft and just build a great team that can run the ball, play D, and play special teams. If you can find a Mahomes or a Burrow, great, but otherwise you're just hurting yourself and your roster by paying mediocre QBs huge money.

I also understand that the Giants are in a bit of a situation.  Daniel Jones wins their first playoff game in over a decade on the road and has a decent year and it's time to pay up or move on.  No one will mistake Jones for an elite QB, but their other option would be to let him go and either trade a haul to take a swing on a rookie QB in this draft, or stay at #25 and take the 4th or 5th ranked QB, or trade a haul to get a vet QB like Jackson or Rodgers, or get a game-manager like Jacoby Brisset and attempt to convince people that he could win it all if they build their team around him...or something.

It's a sticky wickett, and honestly we are only a few lucky/unlucky bounces in 2019 away from facing down the barrel of that gun ourselves.
