Daboll quote on Daniel Jones and Adding Pieces Around Him

Was like watching Shakespeare

I never thought I actually was. And not because I believe I'm some keen talent evaluator. Or because I never believed in Jones to begin with. Neither of those are true. It was simply bc they had screwed up pretty much every personnel decision since he was drafted, and I thought the damage was too forgone.


Must have been a really exciting time.in the building as it became clear the franchise QB really was already in thr building. On top of everything he showed this year we also know his mental toughness is top notch as well.

Well said

survived… the question is were there others too?

I find the way they talk about Jones so odd. "Growing into the Quarterback we think he can be" is odd phrasing for a guy who won a playoff game and they just handed $40 million per year to.

Not so odd. If they were there 100% and there were no questions, DJ's deal would not have been a two year deal. He would have gotten a record-breaking contract.

I think his mental toughness is why I always believed in him, he always stayed the course no matter what crumbled around him. It is good to see the powers that be sent from not picking up his 5th year option to really believing in him. It gives me confidence in not just Jones but the staff for remaining open minded.

the offense protect Danny with enough time for him to unleash his cannon arm on some accurate long balls to receivers with separation!!!!!!

Or they think he can be elite. His statement can be taken a lot of different ways, I view that as Daboll saying Jones hasn’t hit his ceiling yet.

I took it as ascending to the next level

I don’t see an issue with it, we should want to hear they think he has more potential.

...that the comment was meant as a compliment.

I like Jones, but he doesn't seem to have the "it" factor.

Well, now I think he had it, but the rest of the team kept it hidden.

We have a HC who understands any QB needs good talent around him to maximize his potential. Hopefully they add more in this upcoming and future drafts including OL.

Its not odd at all. They obviously think he can continue to grow and mature. He is going into year two in the offense. And his weapons were extremely limited, so they havent seen the best of what they think he can do.
