Daniel Jones' rookie season (24 TD, 12 INT, 3,207 passing yards in 13 games, 12 starts) generated optimism that he could become a top-tier quarterback, but he never again reached 20 touchdown passes in a season. The only time Jones surpassed his rookie average of 232.8 yards per game was in 2025 with the Indianapolis Colts (238.5 yards in 13 games). His trajectory serves as a cautionary tale for Dart's Year 2 expectations, as the hoped-for leap into the upper tier of quarterbacks never materialized for Jones.
