Stampede Blue on Daniel Jones
From the article
I think Daniel Jones took a step in the right direction and can still play better. ... Daniel Jones can be good enough to win you games, but dropping back 40+ times with no run game is not a winning formula. ... I am not closing the book on Daniel Jones playing better, especially as he has more reps under his belt to trust the achilles.
STACKED’s take
Jones showed improvement despite loss; needs better run game and talent support.
Took a step in the right direction despite the loss to Pittsburgh; the source found it odd the amount of criticism Jones received after the game. While the box score wasn't overly generous and he wasn't lights out, Jones can be good enough to win games but needs better support. The Colts lost the battle up front, couldn't run the ball, and lacked receiver talent, forcing Jones to drop back 40+ times with no run game—a formula that doesn't work for most QBs. The source compares Jones to Sam Darnold, noting that without a proper run game, QBs are exposed to more hits and tougher tight window throws. The source is not closing the book on Jones playing better, especially as he gains more reps to trust his achilles.
