Big Blue Huddle

With all the personal being the same EXCEPT that Daniel Jones quarterbacked behind the Lions offensive line and Ben Johnson was his OC , how good a QB would he be ?

Swap him with Goff, and the Lions are not a playoff team, and they are not an explosive offense.

Can he connect on a pass more than 15 yards down the field on a consistent basis?  If not, opponents are not going to play a Daniel Jones led Detroit offense the same way they do with Goff.

In all honesty, I think if he had to sit a year and then came back to play in that system, he'd be pretty close to what Goff is now.

He needs a mental reset in a less stressful environment. The expectations are too high for him here and he can't meet them mentally.

I think he'll be more successful on another team in a few years. He tries too hard here and he can't quite piece it together.

What if we lifted up the uniforms and ran a new team in under them? It certainly couldn't be much worse, right?

Go, Big Blue!

Does Ben Johnson's offense require being able to look through options over the whole field?

Depends

2022 Daniel Jones-  SB contender

2024 Daniel Jones-  Not sure, he appears to be both physically and mentally broken

I'd say a playoff contender. SB contender if they still had Aidan Hutchinson.
