MVP is reserved for one or two QBs. You know that. That is not remotely the same as potentially being in the top ten. @tonka was right, once DJ enters the conversation, all naunce is lost.

If you're being honest, you will acknowledge several fans predicted DJ was ascending to become a top 10/5 QB; last year, a few even predicted the DJ-led offense was on the verge of 'lethality.' Any QB who ascends into the top 10/5, or leads a lethal offense, is by definition, an MVP caliber QB. I believe that's what H-Town was referring to when he made his statement; at least, that's how I interpreted it.

That's quite a damning and harsh attack on my character. I will confess it angered me, and I was ready to post my usual angry reply. Only this old dog is learning new tricks. I took some time to consider what you said and why you said it. So first I went back to read what you wrote:
I have a few thoughts on your comments:
1) I believe that everyone here agrees that Jones' "marginal" or "somewhat" improvement will prevent him from continuing to be the dead man walking.
2) I asked you for clarification on that comment, but you declined.
Still, it was the part in bold that really struck me. As far as I can tell and remember, no one suggested that Jones would have an "MVP-caliber season", not even close. In fact that seems so far removed from what people were saying, that it reminded me of something I read recently.
What a wildly disingenuous and self-serving statement.
I don't dismiss the possibility I could have missed that quote; perhaps @Trench or one of the other people who liked your post could help you find it.
Quote from: TONKA56 on Today at 06:20:37 AMWhat does Daniel Jones need to show you this year to prove that he's "the guy?"
Let's say he miraculously stays healthy all year, throws for 4000 yards, 35 touchdowns to 15 ints...do you trust that he's "arrived" and it's the new normal? I'm not sure I would. The eye test matters. I need to see things in his mechanics and how he responds to situations that raw metrics cannot capture.

For me, it all hinges on Bricillo and what he can do with his guys up front. My second area of concern/interest is the running game. I don't picture a drastic fall off in production collectively from previous seasons. I actually think as a group, the production will be significantly better.
QuoteI don't consider Jones magically playing like an MVP-caliber candidate to be realistic. It's possible he replicates 2022--maybe even marginally exceeds it
QuoteWhat a wildly disingenuous and self-serving statement.
I would say this is beneath you, but putting those who disagree with you into an illogical, inaccurate, and indeed ridiculous box to make your own opinions seem correct by extension is not a new tactic. And even this very thread shows how your self-statedly "proper" assessment is out of line with reality.
