Seems it is gonna be D Jones

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.



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.



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.



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.

You seriously listed Tyrone Tracy as a weapon?

His offensive line was shit the entire time he was there, and had to play 4 games a year vs 2 of the best dlines in the NFL (eagles and cowboys)

Cutcliffe isn’t just gonna compliment him just because he played for him. Even Giants teammates compliment the guys work ethic and toughness, that’s more than we can say for Richardson.

The Alex Smith comp is pretty good

Believe me I wasn’t happy about signing the guy I wanted a cheaper option like Ridder, but after diving into it more he was the best option and he still has some good football in him.

I’m more confident that he’ll have a bounce back and revitalize his career like Baker or Darnold than I’m confident Richardson will magically work with some QB coach and turn into Josh Allen overnight
