Crazy thought on next QB

Prob will get poo’d for this but trying to think outside the box and what type of QB works this offense.

Canales has done really well with highly drafted QBs that had all the physical tools but didn’t pan out at their first stop. The Giants are done with Jones after this year, think they can get out of his 4 year contract and save $20M by cutting him. Our offensive line and weapons are better than the Giants and he hasn’t looked awful this year in that environment. Giants have the worst OL in the league. Outside of the Vikings game (who I think is the best D in the league this year) he has looked pretty decent with the awful OL and lack of weapons.

He can make every throw look easy, runs like a deer if he gets a lane, and has shown some crazy flashes, just hasn’t been consistent and can lack accuracy which I feel is augmented by the awful line. Wonder if that’s the kind of guy Canales would go for and want. Could also be a nice stop gap for 2 years if we draft a project QB this year. He got his one big payday, gotta imagine we could get him on a similar to what Vikings did with Darnold at $10M per. Something like 2 years $25M. 

I see where you're coming from, but Jones isn't the answer. We're much better off keeping Dalton as our starter.

I think it depends. Dalton is up there in age let’s see if he makes it a full season and if yes, what kind of money he is asking for. All things being equal $ wise, I’d rather get 27 year old Jones on a 2 year contract than 36 year old Dalton wanting a final contract at 3 years. My point is context matters a ton in these decisions but never too early to start thinking about it. Honestly jones is playing really well lately Giants may keep him

Jones would need to be on a Baker/Darnold size "reclamation" price. Something in the $5-7 mil range at most.
