But I wouldnt call Esasion incarcerated Bob or some off the wall shock jock either. He has pn occasion broken stuff before and apparently does have some local connections to the team. Just putting what he said out there and lets see if it actually comes to fruition!

Wow thanks for finding that.

I have been impressed his last 2 games. But I doubt Boomer knows a thing. JS said after the bye, they would wait until after the season. I would think that includes playoffs?

My guess on the contract will somewhere between $32-$35M AAV on either a 3 or 4 year deal with a sizeable amount garanteed...but also structured with a lower year 1 cap hit possiblly sub 20M like Dak Prescott had. To allow us better cap flexibility next year as we look to fortify the roster.

That's great and all but the flip side is that he only averaged 6.8 YPA which means he primarily is throwing shorter passes. It's fine and I don't have a problem with it but I'd like to see where he ranks in number of passes less than 20 yards. I'd go out on a limb and say he's at least top 3.

I wouldn't go anywhere near contract discussions if I'm Shoen. Don't need any distractions whatsoever.

I would also use this game as a very very important barometer on the Jones metric to see if he is a guy who can slow it down in the playoffs. It's all different starting Sunday. I hope he plays so well that it increases his contract demands. But the opposite  may happen as well.

With this being his first playoff game I don't think a good or bad performances helps or hurts him.  At this point the front office has to have an idea of the direction they're going in this off season with Jones and the QB position.

Perhaps. But if he shows up looking calm as a cucumber and/or makes a drive in the big spot to secure a win then I think it certainly will play in the equation. We have seen him play much better last few weeks - even feeling pocket pressure better. I am most impressed how he isn't putting his head down and running when under duress - he is finally looking downfield with a confident posture looking to still make a throw. That's been different than what we have seen most of the season.

He's tied for 28th with Murray in passes of 20+ with 27 and he's 22nd in passes of 40+ with 5. Net yards per passing play he's 24th with 5.7. This may be the closest one to what you are asking but he's tied for 27th in Completed air yard per completion with baker Mayfield at 5.1 yards. So the average completed pass is 5.1 yard in the air. He's also 33rd on his Alex score with -1.2 meaning he throws on average 1.2 yards short of the 1st down.

Hopefully those stats help. Couldn't find the passes short of 10 or 20 yards though.

When I shoot from 7-10 yards I'm pretty accurate. 15-20 yards, not as much.

Well, you hit the target of my point dead center and I'm waaaaaay down here in Delaware!

Passing TDs and Passing Yards per game is where we need to see improvement

Major improvement needed in the passing game.  Can't be in the mid 20's next season.
