Hoodie Melo: If you think Sam Darnold is better than Daniel Jones, I disagree, but fair. Just make points to prove it. But don’t act like Jones is a below average QB, b/c he had a very solid showing last season.
10 ❤️⚡️: Gold . Dow Jones if u hit right. Very few.
Look at the value u a dollar. Is your stock really going up?
