One is a highly regarded, multiple Super Bowl champion team featuring well-known players like Chris Simms, Eli Manning, and Lawrence Taylor; the other has been a consistent loser for the past thirty plus years, with its last moments of true glory occurring in the 1960s with the three-time MVP and now eighty-year-old Jim Brown.
Nonetheless, what unites them is their shared dissatisfaction with their respective highly compensated yet controversial quarterbacks, for distinct reasons: Daniel Jones and Deshaun Watson

Daniel Jones and Deshaun Watson Both Fall Short of Expectations
In 2022, Deshaun Watson received a massive $230 million contract that came with full guarantees after he was found not guilty in a criminal court of multiple charges of sexual misconduct.
Daniel Jones, a former first-round pick who signed an eye-catching four-year, $160 million contract last offseason after guiding the New York Giants to their first postseason victory since their Super Bowl-winning 2011 season, played considerably below average in an injury-plagued year.
Because of this, even though 39-year-old Joe Flacco emerged late in the season, former New York Jets general manager and current ESPN commentator Mike Tannenbaum has suggested a trade between the two teams in limbo at quarterback, according to ESPN Cleveland.
