Quote from: T200 on March 11, 2025, 12:18:58 PMI'm curious as to why he wouldn't stay, especially with Darnold leaving.

Better chance to start with the Colts than the Vikings, is the likely reason.

JJ isn't a slam-dunk, especially coming off an injury. He's essentially a rookie. Jones at least had a few months to see KOC's system and would have an opportunity to lead that offense versus going to a third offensive system in a year.

Perhaps, Minny told the QB room that JJ will start the season? It opened the door for both Darnold and Jones to leave.

The Vikings drafted JJ to be their franchise QB.  Barring JJ crashing and burning (or being physically impaired), or simply not ready to start, it's unlikely for Jones to be the starter.

The Colts had declared last month that they would bring in a veteran QB to compete with Richardson for the starting QB job.   

So the Colts situation puts starting into DJ's hand as opposed to the Vikings where it would be in JJ's hands.

Of course, nothing is guaranteed. But, if I'm Jones and I believe in my ability, I'm staying in Minny and fighting for that starting job. It's a much better situation.

Tim,

You could be right, it's hardly a cut and dry decision.

It's also interesting because the Giants didn't believe that JJ was a better QB than Daniel Jones. If they did, they would have drafted him. Daniels and Maye yes, but JJ, no. Jones is young enough and affordable enough to be the starting QB for the Vikings. The Vikings are a win now team. Jones had a reasonable chance to prove he should at least start the season. Jones believed he had a better chance against Richardson and signed a 1 year deal with a lousy organization. An organization that instead of coming up with a plan to develop their very talented QB, decided to take the sink or swim method. It would have been better if they declared that Richardson would sit this year behind a Veteran and learn. As they should have done last year with a QB who had 16 games of College under his belt.

I wouldn't rule out Rodgers going to Minnesota.

I get the impression that they aren't all in on JJ. It would certainly give him opportunity to play at least twice a year against GB and Jordan Love.

Who has the lowest passer rating over the past two seasons in the NFL??

Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson

@Ed Vette brought up an interesting point that I think speaks to Daniel's state of mind and confidence: he knows the Giants passed on JJ. Why would he not stay there to compete? Does he think he's not good enough?

Maybe the Vikings saw enough of him in practice to say, "Giants were right to cut you.  You are as useless as a 3rd tit on a male gorilla and we dont want you even for the league minimum."
