Former CB Peterson criticizes Jones play

Scooter185 : 7/11/2024 12:23 pm
Quote:
Former NFL cornerback Patrick Peterson isn’t impressed with what he’s seen from New York Giants cornerback Daniel Jones.

Peterson, a 13-year NFL veteran with three first-team All-Pro honors and eight Pro Bowl berths to his name, commented on his All Things Covered podcast in which former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs guested.

"I had an opportunity to play against Daniel Jones a couple times — ain’t nothing impressive about him to a defense," Peterson said. "He’s big and strong, but he hasn’t shown us arm talent, like, crazy arm talent."

Peterson didn’t stop there, pivoting his criticism of Jones to the quarterback’s mental processing ability after the ball was snapped.

"He’s shown an inability to read defenses quickly, to get the ball out quickly, and I just think he has a problem dissecting the 11 guys on defense," Peterson said.

"His process is too slow to excel as a great NFL quarterback. He has talent. He has all the measurables. It just not coming together on the football field."


Many have defended Jones saying we can't know what his processing is actually like from our couches. Well here it is from someone who was across the field from DJ.

I think that is a very reasonable assessment  
Andy in Halifax : 7/11/2024 12:39 pm : link
Balanced in that he acknowledges some attributes in a positive way and didn't feel the need to go to extremes. He criticism seems to be well founded too.

Jones is very athletic, big and strong and has good but not elite arm talent that seems to struggle processing and reading defenses after the snap. That weakness seems to lead to less than ideal choices at times.

To me, that is a fair analysis. I hope Jones can both stay healthy and improve in the processing side of things this year, if that assessment is accurate. (I'm not doubting Peterson's ability to analyze I just don't know enough to state that as fact myself).

Doesn’t mean he can’t be good. Plus when you have less than 2 sec to throw the ball constantly throughout your career it’s kind of hard to learn how to process. When you are in survival mode it’s hard to improve your game.

But it doesn’t matter what is said or what could have been. We’ll see what he is able to do this year then they will make a decision based on that information.

Peterson intercepting Jones  
shyster : 7/11/2024 12:47 pm : link
4Q of the regular season game at Vikes that Giants lost, but kept it close and Jones had a good stat day, other than the INT.

Familiar Jones' INT. Comes under pressure when Evan Neal loses his man and he gets rid of the ball without really seeing that the play is there to be made.

that if he just comes out, is mediocre, stays healthy, and protects the ball that he's going to get the "bounce back" label and some media and fans will openly start talking about how "he can win in the right situation" again.

is likely a journeyman backup or "bridge starter" for a year or two until a team can find a potential franchise QB. Nothing wrong with either, as long as you're not paying that QB $40M a year.

I still think Jones is in the wrong sport. I think he might have been a phenomenal decathlete. I said the same thing about Evan Engram.

I sort of agree too. Peterson's summary: "His process is too slow to excel as a great NFL quarterback. He has talent. He has all the measurables. It just not coming together on the football field."

But he doesn't have to be great to win a SB; he has to be good and have some great games at the right time, as he's already demonstrated. Only a handful of teams have great QBs -- it's a big advantage but it's neither necessary or sufficient.

Also, that wasn't an issue in school or as a rookie; for example, in the linked NFL draft profile:

Quick worker through progressions. Early recognition of deep ball opportunities and feathers throws into the target.

I don't see evidence it's an innate or insoluble problem, and some (possibly very large) percentage is his targets.

Weaknesses
Thin in his lower body. Had 12 passes batted down at line of scrimmage in 2018. Benefitted from heavy play-action/RPO scheme. Incessant patting of the ball through progressions. Waits an extra step before cutting it loose too often. Average release speed slowed by small windup. Attempts throws into some impossible windows. Needs to work ahead of schedule more often on next level. Succumbs to off-platform tosses rather than working into better positioning. Showed willingness to throw it up for grabs rather than take sack. Loose ball handling in face of pressure leads to fumbles. Too much bravado as a runner. Took licks when slides or dashes out of bounds were options.


It seems like he's over corrected on a number of fronts and not corrected others.

Twice a Jones. First drafting him at 6 then a his last deal. As was pointed out. He doesn't have the make up to be a great QB. It he can be a good one. Just don't screw up a 3rd time

He has a great year and ours all those critiques to bed ok. But if he's ok cut him.
No need to over pay for mediocrity

I'd like to ask Peterson just how many"great" QBs are there in the NFL. IMO about 4-7. The words great and phrase "franchise QB" are meaningless w average guys getting that label way to often

That Jones needs an extra tic before he gets rid of the ball. You can see that. Franchise QB's don't grow on trees and we can't just go grab another one whenever we want. We likely won't be in a position to grab one next year either. I think the best we can do is build him an O-line that can protect him for the extra tic he needs. I think if the FO can do that, we can succeed with Jones. Let's hope that this year we can finally field an O-Line that gives DJ the extra time he needs.

Shurmur coaxed almost identical numbers out of Case Keenum two years prior to Jones's rookie year. Did Joe Judge ruin him too, or is it possible that Shurmur just has a history of making mediocre QBs look good until there's tape on them?

Besides, even the ballyhooed DJ rookie campaign really only had 3-4 good games and the rest looked pretty similar to the Judge years but with lots of extra fumbles.

Unless he has Tourette's, let's call it an "extra tick" since we're talking about time.

Now, that extra tick that DJ presumably needs isn't just an extra tick against the pass rush. It's also an extra tick for the routes, which means that the timing isn't the same as it would be without that extra tick. It's also an extra tick for the secondary, which means that they have an extra tick to recover from the receivers' breaks and get back into good position after the receiver opened up.

The whole offense needs to be on-time, not just synced up to a QB who is incapable of being on-time in the first place.

That incessant tapping comment, made me LOL. Especially early in his career when we was getting blown up in the pocket, he was playing the bongos on the ball instead of getting rid of it.


Elway tapped the ball. But he could get away with it because he had the rarest of arm talent. And he was fearless in the pocket with tremendous football instincts to buy time.

Jones is one of the most mechanical QBs I've seen in a long time. That's a big negative in the NFL. His only above average skill has always been his ability to run. Which Daboll beautifully leveraged in 2022.

But coming off major knee surgery, you have to wonder how valuable that skill is right now and moving forward.

So, what are we left with?

He's not wrong and we all see it.

The problem is, trying to separate it from the unbelievably shitty circumstances he's had virtually the entire time.

IOW, it's hard to go through progressions and read defenses when you are facing historical amounts of pressure.

When DJ's been kept upright he's functioned well, including shredding Peterson's Vikings a couple times in 2022.

Clearly the Giants think there's at least a chance he can be a good QB if the things around him stop being a catastrophe.

Cards-Giants game in 2020, Jones was playing on one leg and couldn't move. But who needs context.


So the handful of good games Jones has played, those are definitely all him.

The dozens of shitty games he's played, those are due to some reason outside of his control. Does that sound about right?


Do you really think anyone thinks that or you just want to maximize argument.

Nothing in the NFL is all one player. Ever. Like Randy Moss says at the beginning of the new Netflix series.

I absolutely think there are at least a handful of fans right here on BBI who will rattle off an excuse for every single DJ misstep but credit him entirely for his rare successes.

The 2022 playoffs are a perfect microcosm of that: DJ's most ardent enthusiasts will gleefully celebrate the Minnesota victory without acknowledging how bad that defense was or how some other mediocre QBs (like Mike White and Mac Jones) had torched them that same year, but as soon as anyone brings up the Philly game a week later, they'll start rattling off every player besides Jones who played poorly. Jones gets credit for the victory; his teammates take the fall for the defeat.

I don't really concern myself with Moss's statement (though I do agree with it) because I'm not claiming those fans are correct. I'm merely stating that their POV exists.

I fully agree that the OL has been dogshit. I just think having a slow-processing QB behind a dogshit OL makes things exponentially worse.

No one is saying they're good. Unlike you, I'm capable of seeing things outside of a zero-sum lens.

The OL has been awful, and would be incapable of protecting any QB. DJ has been bad also, and would be a liability behind any OL.

Somehow DJ enthusiasts think that everyone is operating with the same excuse-making mindset that they do. When I mention DJ's flaws, it's not because I'm trying to defend the OL. I think the OL sucks too. But I also see the Giants actually trying to upgrade the OL, which is more than anyone can say about the Giants' QB position in half a decade.

I didn't say he was wrong or right, and personally I don't even care. But it's fucking hilarious that two really strong games where the guy making the comment and his defense were torched by who he's making the comment about.

And On 7,853,465 threads every day, contorting in every way possible to fit whatever data they can find to echo the Mara conspiracy narrative, rehashing the same tired comments over, and over, and over, and over again.

Fortunately, we didn't need good OL or great receivers to beat Minnesota because they were 31st in yards allowed, 31st in passing yard allowed and 30th in points allowed.

They were a statistical anomaly in 2022 by even making the playoffs.
I don't disagree with anything he said.  
Matt M. : 7/11/2024 10:05 pm : link
Now, with the improved OL and the WR corps of Nabers, Robinson, Hyatt, and Slayton (I think in that order), I think he is bound to improve. But, by how much is up to him. Improving to slightly better than mediocre won't cut it.

I am so tired of hearing about 2022. It was a mediocre season. It was just a significant improvement over his previous 2 seasons. I've said it a million times to rebut the inevitable, "but what about his rushing stats?"...even if you add his rushing yards and TDs to his passing numbers, he doesn't crack the top 10 of QBs using ONLY their passing numbers. So, wat about his rushing?

In 2022, Mac Jones, former first round pick and now NFL back-up, marched into Minnesota and lit them up for nearly 400 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, and nearly 10 YPA.

For FY 2022, Mac Jones finished 28th in the NFL in QBR, 25th in passing TDs, 26th in YPA, and tied for 5th in INTs.

In other words, even during a pathetic season of performance, Mac Jones looked competent against that hideous Vikings D.

Philly msde the Super Bowl by beating the 2022 Giants (not a good team stated by many here) and a QB-less 49ers.

The Patriots lost that game. Meanwhile, in two games against the Vikings that year, Aaron Rodgers couldn't top 200 yards in either of them (one of which was a loss). Daniel Jones, Mac Jones, Aaron Rodgers: three peas in a pod according to your logic. And neither Mac nor Aaron could claim to have nearly as pitiful a set of receivers nor as porous an offensive line. Why is it so impossible for people on BBI to concede a point? Instead you opt for irrelevant misdirection.

Yes Milton you were right. Just like your were right about the Giants winning a Super Bowl with some huge percentage of Gettleman players. And you are probably right about Darren Waller making an 11th hour return to the roster after skipping camp.

Remember it was Ronde who took some remarks directed to Eli back prior to their playoff game. After Eli and the Giants dominated them, Ronde didn't really back off or anything but said we're all professionals, they don't need us to make them play better. Essentially some players, notably DB's and WR's, run their mouths a lot and tend to shut up when proven wrong.

So sure, Peterson is right, Daniel has some problems with pocket presence, processing and everybody on BBI knows that. But Peterson also knows what Daniel did to his own defense the previous two times they met. To me, it's whatever. On Jacobs' podcast, he could have laid it out better and said he does have problems like many QB's do, and needs to improve on x and x. And talked about what Daniel did in those Viking games where Peterson and his DB's looked like they didn't belong on the field.

Again if Peterson said the same things about Mac Jones, would anyone be jumping to defend him because Mac also lit him up?

His EPA was rated 13th, too.

Kevin Cole uses something different than a direct EPA stat and uses the receivers he is throwing to, scheme, blocking, strength of schedule, luck (drops, INTs and fumbles) and weather.

It has Jones listed 5th. Notice Jones and Hurts have a similar actual EPA but Hurts was helped immensely by his line and Smith/Brown, therefore was docked for it.

On Jacobs' podcast, he could have laid it out better and said he does have problems like many QB's do, and needs to improve on x and x. And talked about what Daniel did in those Viking games where Peterson and his DB's looked like they didn't belong on the field.



Again if Peterson said the same things about Mac Jones, would anyone be jumping to defend him because Mac also lit him up?

I doubt it


If Mac lit their ass up in a playoff game? Absolutely. It makes Peterson look little. You can analyze a player and dissect their deficiencies, we've done it non stop.

Which is what made it a fair fight! We got to see Daniel Jones going up against defenders that were the equal of his protection and receivers.



In 2022, Mac Jones, former first round pick and now NFL back-up, marched into Minnesota and lit them up for nearly 400 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, and nearly 10 YPA.

For FY 2022, Mac Jones finished 28th in the NFL in QBR, 25th in passing TDs, 26th in YPA, and tied for 5th in INTs.

In other words, even during a pathetic season of performance, Mac Jones looked competent against that hideous Vikings D.

For the FY 2022, Daniel Jones finished 6th in the NFL in QBR, led an above-average scoring offense, and had the best Int%.

In other words, even during a very good season of performance, Daniel Jones was competent against the league beyond that hideous Vikings D.

The NFL average points scored by team in 2022 was 371. The Giants scored 365.

You might want to learn what "above average" means.

The Patriots lost that game. Meanwhile, in two games against the Vikings that year, Aaron Rodgers couldn't top 200 yards in either of them (one of which was a loss). Daniel Jones, Mac Jones, Aaron Rodgers: three peas in a pod according to your logic. And neither Mac nor Aaron could claim to have nearly as pitiful a set of receivers nor as porous an offensive line. Why is it so impossible for people on BBI to concede a point? Instead you opt for irrelevant misdirection.

Embarrassing.

I think any single year snap shot is interesting, and just tells part of the story. Jones was certainly efficient in 2022. He was also pretty lucky.
Quote:
Jones had just five interceptions in 2022, but he had 19 turnover-worthy plays. That 14-play difference was the fourth-highest number in the league. On average, quarterbacks got lucky 41.7% of the time and had a turnover-worthy play result in a non-interception. Jones, by comparison, got lucky a whopping 73.7% of the time, the highest rate in the NFL. He had 11.08 expected interceptions but just five actual picks.

There are positive and negative signals in the advanced metrics, so I am not inclined to project a big swing either way in 2024.

Remember it was Ronde who took some remarks directed to Eli back prior to their playoff game. After Eli and the Giants dominated them, Ronde didn't really back off or anything but said we're all professionals, they don't need us to make them play better. Essentially some players, notably DB's and WR's, run their mouths a lot and tend to shut up when proven wrong.

Exactly! I don't take what other players say as gospel. We have all these former players that have different opinions when watching the same game film. We just tend to site the ones that fit our own narrative here.

Yes or just regular fans like the rest of us with malfunctioning egos that have the need to be 100% black and white right - slinking away when it appears they maybe were wrong, coming back in full force and dooshbagging it over anyone with an even slightly different opinion (including very clearly the coaching staff and FO) when things go south. And On 7,853,465 threads every day, contorting in every way possible to fit whatever data they can find to echo the Mara conspiracy narrative, rehashing the same tired comments over, and over, and over, and over again. Cool.


Golf clap.

Speaking of regular fans that support their team and players, I’ve reached a point where I’m torn. Torn between wanting to see Jones make these posters slink away again and finding a new QB that plays a brand of football I may enjoy more.

Obviously winning is what matters but as I age I find that I prefer a brand of football and QB play, that may never return. I enjoyed Jones style his rookie year. He was aggressive. I appreciate the improvements he’s made from a TO% but I hope Daboll can get him to “let it rip” again.

I do not enjoy the “chicken with it’s head cut off” brand that seems to be taking over. Yes Mahomes magic can be fun but can we ever get back to routinely hitting a 15 yard dig off a perfectly timed and blocked 5 step drop?

Jones has difficulty reading the field, locks on the primary target and rarely lets go, and lacks a quick release. With an improved OL and better receivers, the Giants passing attack will be improved, but Jones will continue to have these deficiencies.
