Buy or Sell: Debating 3 early-season topics in the NFL

In Buy or Sell, theScore's football editors go head-to-head in debating some of the hottest topics percolating around the NFL. Let us know in the polls and comments whether you're buying or selling these three statements.

Daniel Jones is for real

"Indiana Jones" has thrown for 816 yards and accounted for six touchdowns without a turnover, leading the Colts to a 3-0 start in his first season in Indy

Caio Miari - BUY: The first weeks of the season showed that the Colts' system is great for Jones. He's benefiting from solid offensive line protection, the presence of Pro Bowl running back Jonathan Taylor, and dependable pass-catchers like Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren. Shane Steichen has maximized the potential of other quarterbacks in the past, and he found an excellent match for his offense in Jones. The 28-year-old signal-caller previously led the Giants to the playoffs and should be able to do it again in Indianapolis.

Brenden Deeg - SELL: Don't get me wrong, Jones has been great through three weeks. However, the Colts' wins came against teams with a combined 1-8 record, including two victories over defenses ranked in the bottom four for success rate heading into Week 4. From 2021-24, Jones ranked 25th out of 27 qualifying quarterbacks in EPA/play. We can't ignore what he's shown in previous years and buy into this three-game sample size.

Eagles have nothing to worry about

Philadelphia nudged past the Cowboys and Chiefs in the first two weeks before rallying from 19 points down to defeat the Rams in Week 3

Brenden Deeg - BUY: Why be worried about a team that's won 17 straight games in which Jalen Hurts started and finished? This club does nothing but win. That won't stop anytime soon. Let's remember that the Eagles also struggled offensively early last season and ultimately torched the Washington Commanders' and Kansas City Chiefs' defenses in the playoffs. The win over the Los Angeles Rams should spark offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo to open up the passing attack, and the defensive unit has flashed through three contests, especially in the second half of games.

Caio Miari - SELL: Philly's wins this season all came in close games decided by one possession, including a miraculous triumph over the Rams in the craziest game of the year. It's hard to sustain that success throughout an entire campaign. Nick Sirianni's outfit has issues on both sides of the ball. Saquon Barkley hasn't had a 100-yard game this season, and the Hurts-led passing game ranks outside the top 16 in EPA/dropback (compared to eighth in '24). Defensively, the secondary is a liability, and Philadelphia ranks in the bottom 10 for sacks and pressures.

The Giants made the right call to start Jaxson Dart in Week 4

New York benched Russell Wilson in favor of the first-round rookie passer after starting the season 0-3

Brenden Deeg - BUY: The time to start Dart was Week 1, and Brian Daboll made a mistake by letting him sit behind Wilson until the end of September. The veteran clearly isn't a starting-caliber quarterback anymore, as evidenced by his awful showing in Week 3. Continuing to run Wilson out would've been detrimental to the team. The Giants traded up in the first round to select Dart, and allowing him to mesh with their young playmakers early in Year 1 is the right move. Ownership and the coaching staff need to see if he's their quarterback of the future.

Caio Miari - SELL: Dart's debut will come against the Chargers' top-five defense, huh? The Giants should've been more patient. They play the 0-3 Saints in Week 5. Waiting another month wouldn't have been bad either, as New York faces Denver and Philadelphia (twice) in October. Those are awful matchups for a rookie with an unreliable offensive line. Fans wanted a change, but this was always going to be a rebuilding season. Starting Dart now is a desperate move from a coaching staff that can presumably feel the hot seat. I'm curious to see the New York media's reaction if he naturally struggles early on.
