To give some context to Daniel Jones‘ prove-it season, consider a peer who, like Jones, arrived with great expectations only to turn in some middling early results. Before Josh Allen became a Paul Bunyanesque folk hero in Buffalo last season, he, too, was a question mark, possessed of a 75-yards-in-the-air arm, not much touch and an uncertain future. In his first two seasons, his completion rate was an unsightly 56.3 percent, six percentage points lower than Jones’ in his first two seasons. Allen averaged just 184.4 passing yards per game, 37 yards fewer per game than Jones. Most tellingly, Jones’ touchdown-to-interception ratio is 35:22, compared to Allen’s 30:21.
