So clarify for me, are you arguing that Jones was a stretch where he was drafted, that Dungey is a better qb, or both? It seems that much of your argument is that the Giants shouldn't have taken Jones at 6. Nobody is arguing that, but that has nothing to do with comparisons to Dungey.

As someone pointed out earlier, if he had been drafted on the second day as projected, nobody would be criticizing him or the Giants for taking him. He was universally regarded a better prospect than Dungey by everyone but people wearing orange colored glasses. It wasn't just the Giants. It was everyone. Every team passed on drafting Dungey 7 times and he signed as a free agent only partially at qb. I'm not sure if the dropped passes stat is a cop out. If it is, why do draft evaluations mention Jones was #2 in dropped passes last year? No need to mention it if it's irrelevant.

Is it possible that your close connection to the program and fondness for one of the toughest most likeable players in program history has clouded your ability to be objective?
