on NFL.com. The rankings were averaged from 4 graders who were pretty consistent among themselves. That's 10 slots below Kyler Murray, just above Mayfield, Minshew and Darnold at 24, 25, 26, with Brisset at 27 followed by Haskins and Lock.
Eli was buried deeper among the also rans.
If not for the plethora of lost fumbles, Jones obviously would have finished considerably higher.

Eli was a pretty poor TO machine himself until the 2007 playoff run, when rather dramatically in a string of 4 consecutive game he had only 1-2 TOs.
I'm not sure I'd take any of the top 8 QBs drafted in 2018 - 2019 over Jones. Surely NOT Josh Allen (who ranked considerably above Jones) but whom I see as way too inconsistent in his accuracy of throwing.
Haven't seen enough of Murray to judge, and not sure even about Lamar Jackson, who earned a tie for first with Mahomes.
Not too sure Jackson's style is gonna fly long term. As the saying goes, now the whole league has a full year of tape on Jackson in Roman's offense designed expressly for him. Let's see how far and long it works beyond being a one year wonder.
Well, being a unanimous MVP sort of means he was the best, no?
Very interested in seeing how LJ fares this year, though. He'll be scary if he improves his throwing outside the hash marks.
Kyler Murray? Not so sure.
I don't think he said the Jackson shouldn't be ranked above Jones. He just said that based on his style of play, he doesn't think that he would take Jackson over Jones in the long run (at least that's what I inferred). I think Jackson is imminently talented and is a dynamic football player, but he's an average passer of the pigskin despite his gaudy stats. When he had to win with his arm in the playoffs, he crumbled with a ton of inaccurate passes. And the way he plays, he will expose himself to some bad hits that may impact his durability/availability.
I am not sure if Jones will become a true franchise QB since it's almost impossible to ever predict that, but I think beyond his turnovers, he's shown a lot of promise for us to be excited about him moving forward.
Jones deserves to be where he was on this list. There is a lot to like and a lot to improve on. While I dont think Garrett was a good head coach, I think he is an above average OC with an exceptional perspective on the QB position.

This is a little ridiculous. Lamar Jackson is a game changer. Jones needs to prove that.

I'm not sold on Jones at all, and he needs to prove himself in his 2nd year that he is not a turn over machine.
But he was slinging the ball all over the place and racking up pretty decent stats for rookie, so I'm not sure about your statement.
To my untrained eyes, Jones reminds me alot of Tony Romo, good bad and ugly.
Did you watch the Giants this past season?
You misread what I wrote. I wrote that I am not sure I WOULD WANT LAMAR JACKSON GOING FORWARD vs DJ8.
What more does he have to do to "make plays downfield"??
He needs better ball security, but let's not make shit up to act like he's dinking and dunking shit.

should be ranked ahead of Daniel Jones? What could that possibly be based on other than hometown bias? In every measurable way, Jackson has been better by a wide margin.

Fair enough. I disagree with that take as well, but long term is much more subjective that what each has shown so far. I look at "long term" with a QB to be at the end of their rookie contract. For the next 3-4 years I would absolutely take Jackson over Jones.
To early (for me) to suggest either one is a QB I would sign to a long term extension beyond that.

And Darnold was dead last in that category but that won't stop some from continuing to bash the Giants for not taking him over Barkley.
Certainly in playoff chokes.
These rankings are ridiculous.

So Jones is 16th on my list, probably because I’m assuming he will cut down on fumbles next season
