True. Blake was "good enough", but Mike Brown thought a great QB would fix the whole roster.

And Daniel Jones’s advanced stats raise a bunch of red flags. Even the QB whisperer (Cutcliffe) couldn’t get his comp pct up to a decent level, and his YPA isn’t great either. He’s a volatile pick. Far better to stand pat and draft an elite LB, DT, or OT.
Look, when I threw that idea out, it was just a fun idea that crossed my mind. People took the post as seriously as a heart attack. The truth is, you don't know what the Jets think any more than I do. Also, it's not like I said this would be a straight up swap of Dalton for Darnold. Or Dalton for their 3rd overall. I said Dalton, our 11th + other picks for their 3rd overall pick.
IF they're not sold on Darnold, this isn't NEARLY as far fetched as some of you are acting. I guess some of you didn't hear the news that the Cardinals are giving up on Rosen after 1 year. Darnold really was THAT much better than Rosen.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
