Exactly. Verstappen didn't leave Ricciardo in the dust when they were teammates. Admittedly, Verstappen had not yet reached his prime, but I'm still certain Ricciardo would do well in the second car.
Are we forgetting that Ric got absolutely destroyed by Norris? I don't think he'd do better than Checo.
Maybe Ric meshes better with the way the RB handles? He had a very established driving style at RB which didn't wind up translating to the way the McLaren ran. Maybe throwing him back into a RB/RB adjacent car will help bring out the better performance he exhibited in the RB.
with the fact that Danny is a reserve at Redbull i'm sure the team has all the simulator data and know exactly which driver is the quicker of the 2. But i think if they did swap the 2, pace is only a small factor on that decision.
