Daniel Jones seems like a really good guy, and he is tough and plays his ass off. It would have been a great story had it worked out for him in New York, but it hasn't. He's in his sixth year and can't quickly read a defense, work through progressions, make plays down the field or win games in the fourth quarter. The verdict is in. It's over.
Daniel Jones also has a long injury history with ACL and neck injuries that have ended his past seasons. The risk of Daniel sustaining another season ending injury is simply too great. If he sustains another season ending injury, his contract could become guaranteed for next season, which would be an absolute disaster. The Giants have to face facts, bench Daniel, and move on with an eye towards acquiring the right quarterback to guide them into the future. This is the only way forward for a smart, forward-thinking franchise. It's time the Giants became one.
Andrew Thomas is out for the year. The QB doesn't have it. This season is going nowhere. Be smart and look to the future.
Sometimes they make good decisions, sometimes they make bad decisions. Like all human beings. But they're making decisions among their choices. They still have choice, still have options.
Fans may think they're out of options. They're not. We just don't like the other options.

An unnecessary and useless response that adds nothing to the conversation.
It's amazing to me there are actually still people that think we can make the playoffs this season.

The fact that you feel compelled to focus on this insignificant portion of what I wrote says more about you than anything. Jones isn’t the answer. We all know that. That doesn’t mean you need to hate his guts. Get over yourself.
And Daniel Jones will still throw it there since it is his first read.
So if the blind side O-Lineman is hurt and the franchise is on the hook for 45 million if he is hurt past March, what's the point here. It's sort of clear they are building from scratch and both Shurmer era darlings(Jones And Slayton) may not come back. I would bypass Lock and give your potential very good number 2 more experience. He is better in the collapsing pocket and he needs the saddle time. Or why else did Daboll have him on the roster?? They want to protect him from poaching. Lock was a waste

If it's insignificant, which I agree, you shouldn't have written it.
Furthermore, I was agreeing with you that Jones should be benched. But it's not going to happen based on the dynamics of the organization. And that's why I wrote that piece first.
But he's not a good QB & I hate watching him play.

It's like Tourette's syndrome at this point.
I have people in my life who root for other teams who don't even give me shit about Jones anymore. It's now more sympathy.

I'm not sure why what I wrote doesn't resonate or sink in, but I applied bold to demonstrate - once again - that I agree with you that Jones should be benched.
There may be a point that Jones may lose his job either by performance, injury or the Giants falling out of contention (JS discussed this).
So? Jones was cleared to play football. And running is one of his few assets. Should Daboll not run him?
Lamar Jackson had a PCL injury in 2022 that caused him to miss 5 games. Yet, in 2023 he still ran for 820+ yards and 5 TDs. And won the MVP.
The floor is yours. Expand away.
I agree it is time to begin the future.
But you said directly to me:
So?
There may be a point that Jones may lose his job either by performance, injury or the Giants falling out of contention (JS discussed this).
Yes, the reason they do this is because the QB can't stand in the pocket and find the open receiver. The best chance we have for the QB to help the team move the ball down the field is to have him run the ball occasionally, even though his ball security and hit avoidance IQ is abysmal. That is pathetic, but it's also the reality of our $40m QB.
What sails right over your head, though, is that this is not evidence of Daboll lacking care for Jones' health. This is evidence of Daboll not trusting Jones' brain and arm.
It's not Daboll's job to prevent Jones from getting hurt. A franchise-level decision is required to allow Daboll the safe space to bench Jones. Daboll is not going to unilaterally bench the guy when he knows Mara loves him and that benching Jones might cost him his job. He'll only do it if he knows he's safe next season.
Do you not recall how benching Eli turned out for Ben McAdoo?

Therein lies part of the psychosis infecting the organization from the very top.
What exactly has Daniel Jones ever done to get the Eli treatment where the owner determines if he plays or not? If anything it's an insult to Eli that Jones is getting the same treatment.
This is obviously true. Daboll does not have the authority to make playing time decisions that affect our special boy without getting Mara's approval.
So what is i don't get is how people blame Schoen and Daboll for the Jones for the Jones contract. Particularly Daboll. He doesn't have the authority to make playing time decisions even now after Daniel has been terrible for 2 years. So how is he on the hook for "choosing Jones" or whatever in 2022? The coach was supposed to storm into Mara's office, take the topless Jones pictures off the wall and demand that we get a new QB?
I don't care where Jones plays or not. I do care whether or not BD should be HC in 2025. He should do what he feels best shows that.
The Eli benching was a disgrace and this situation is nothing like that one.

Benching Eli was met with a mountain of fan backlash.
Benching Jones would be applauded by the vast majority of fans
Mara loves Jones and Mara is the reason Jones is still playing. therefore, Daboll benching Jones is career suicide for one of the most coveted jobs on the planet. How far would you go to keep your job as Giants head coach?
it's really that simple.
Yes, that was a deliberate response to the arrogance you've shown toward others when referencing your time playing the sport, as if your opinion is more valuable than other folks just because they didn't play.
I guess that sailed over your head too?
The OP's desire to move on from Jones after this season is shared by the majority here and potentially some of the decision makers within the Giants organization.
However, to suggest a team would quit at this point in the season is where the crack induced insantiy begins.
Some fairly obvious reasons NOT to bench Jones now for one of our backup QBs NOW.
1 The Giants signal to the world that they are quitting
2 They receive backlash from fans and media
3 They can still win the division at this point
4 The team has a responsibility to the people who are paying a lot of money to watch the team to try to win every week
5 They would be turning their backs on the rest of the players on this team
6 The coaches are going to have a hard time explaining "tanking" in their next interviews
7 John Mara is marketing the team
8 An empty stadium reduces revenue
9 Any player, coach and GM is wired to win
10 It is unrealistic and stupid and something a juvenile would believe is the best course of action at this point in the season
"I will expand further..."

This guy thinks the Giants are going to receive backlash from Giants fans if they bench Daniel Jones. LOL. Thanks for the good laugh.
The Giants aren’t winning with or without Jones. This season is over. Look to the future. I’m a diehard Giants fan. I’d respect the Giants for the first time in more than a decade if they made a forward thinking decision to bench Jones. All of the reasons you mentioned have zero merit and don’t benefit the future of the Giants.
John Mara will probably be kicking the trashcans again while the Giants will lose again.
Jones should have been benched at the start of the season, but now they're a quarter through the season, and he is still active as their starting QB, because the GM didn't acquire a backup QB who would create any competition for Jones.
Jones will continue until he suffers his next season-ending injury, and without Andrew Thomas on the field, the probability of that happening has been increased.
To say that this team is screwed because of Jones is guaranteed, and the fact that Daboll and Schoen being listed as more failures is also guaranteed.
This is the New York Football Giants 100th season, and I know John Mara and Steve Tisch wanted it to a season of progress, yet it's another season of failure, and Daniel Jones is sitting front and centre as the reason for the latest season of failure.

Benching Jones does not signal the Giants are quitting. Benching Jones signals he stinks and you believe another QB gives Giants a better chance to win .

I’d roll with DeVito. Maybe he’s no better than Jones, maybe he’s worse, but at least there’s potential upside. We know what we have with Jones, may as well find out if we have anything in TD.

It has nothing to do with hating his guts, it has to do with lowering the bar so much that you have to dig to find it. Newsflash - anyone who has made it to the NFL has worked his ass off, so why even bring that into the equation?
This is ridiculous. He’s the starting QB, take the bubble wrap off. If the HC can’t use his one identifiable skill, why is he playing?
BD should utilize the QB (whoever it is) however he wants to win more games or at least score more points.
As Eric has stated I am finished with Jones and this season.
Let me ask you this. Would you still say you are finished with the season if Daboll goes back to the system with Jones that was successful in 2022 and against Seattle? If Daboll does that then there is still hope to make the playoffs this season. However, if he goes back to his preferred system of 4 wide, shotgun 90% of the time, then I agree this season is over if Jones is the QB. To play that system, you would be better off with Devito. But, the Giants probably don't make that QB switch if Jones is healthy.

The Giants have run only 9 plays this season with 4 WRs. That's 2.2% of the time.

And just for comparison sake, here's how often they used "11" personnel (1 TE, 1 RB, 3 WR) in 2022 and 2024:
2022 - 64.2%
2024 - 64.4%
And "12" personnel:
2022 - 18.4%
2024 - 22.1%
They're running the same offense. You just don't know what you're watching.

Ok. However, lining up in a three wide with a shotgun formation is essential the same thing in regards to this discussion. What percent have they done that? I bet it's over 80%.
Well, you lost that bet.

64%? That is not that big of a difference from 80%. So to me, my point is still valid. They are lining up in shotgun MOST of the time. That is not something I would do if Jones were my QB.

Troll? Couldn't I say the same thing about someone who won't even acknowledge Jones was good in 2022 and also good in most of his starts this season? You only point out the shortcomings. I point out both the pluses and minuses.
According to the above stats...THEY ARE RUNNING THE SAME OFFENSE AS 2022. Except, this year, they have a better o-line and better receivers.
Yet....

Do the Giants not line up in shotgun most of the time? 64% equals MOST does it not? The point is, Jones should not be running an offense in shotgun 64% of the time. Jones should be running and play action based offense to take advantage of his mobility and take advantage aggressive defenses.
Feel free to keep up with this part of the argument. But you can no longer reference 2022 and why Dabs isn't doing the same thing; because he is (with a better team).
I guess you are down to just referencing Minnesota and Seattle game.

That's not what you said, and now that there is contradictory data you want to change the conversation.
It's incredible the lengths you will go to defend this shitty QB. Truly remarkable.

Feel free to keep up with this part of the argument. But you can no longer reference 2022 and why Dabs isn't doing the same thing; because he is (with a better team).
I guess you are down to just referencing Minnesota and Seattle game.

64%? That is not that big of a difference from 80%. So to me, my point is still valid. They are lining up in shotgun MOST of the time. That is not something I would do if Jones were my QB.
You said you wanted them to run the 2022 offense. They are.
And foolishly now you're contending that 64% and 80% are not that different. I would have loved it if my dad felt the same way about my high school physics grade.

He is not doing the same thing. Watch the 1st half of the Bengals game again. That is not the same offense as 2022 or Seattle. I get it, the Bengles were stacking the line of scrimmage. But the solution should not have been to try and line Daniel Jones up in shotgun and have him try and find the second or third read of a play. We all know that's not his strength.
So predictable. You are dumb. Have a good day.

That's not what you said, and now that there is contradictory data you want to change the conversation.
It's incredible the lengths you will go to defend this shitty QB. Truly remarkable.

I do not see a change unless he gets injured.
As Eric has stated I am finished with Jones and this season.
Let me ask you this. Would you still say you are finished with the season if Daboll goes back to the system with Jones that was successful in 2022 and against Seattle? If Daboll does that then there is still hope to make the playoffs this season. However, if he goes back to his preferred system of 4 wide, shotgun 90% of the time, then I agree this season is over if Jones is the QB. To play that system, you would be better off with Devito. But, the Giants probably don't make that QB switch if Jones is healthy.
This system from 2022 was HUGELY successful against the eagles in the 2022 Divisional round…. And will be stopped again using the same D the eagles used that day if the Giants do institute across the board.

How did Jones play in the Seattle game?
You keep ignoring the defense played by Seattle vs Bengals. Seahawks played two high safeties, Bengals crowded the LOS. That's why the run and play action didn't work against Bengals. Now keep trolling

What so you mean that's not what I said? I am been saying all along the same thind-Jones isn't a modern, spread offense QB. He needs to be playing in a system similar to the Lions or Steelers. Teams that work the running game and attack the defense with play action, misdirection', and screens.
This is what you said:
You wanted the 2022 system, and not "4 wide shotgun 90% of the time".
I provided you with concrete evidence that the Giants are doing exactly that.

With a true #1 WR a "matured" Slayton and healthy Robinson it should still be successfully especially with a better OL and a D ready to compete NOW.
It could work because yes the recipe is the same but the quality of the ingredients used is better.

That's actually a good strategy against a defense that stacks the box and crowds the LoS. Sadly, Jones can't operate that offense at the least.

How do you know that for certain? Isn't that where the coaches earn their paychecks? Having to game plan and out scheme the opponent?
How do we know... let's go back to the 2022 offense. Team started 7-2, other D's started scheming against the "new Daboll offense" that you now want to return to... Fine. They won 2 more games the rest of the season. Showed up with the same scheme in Philly on 01/21/2022 and got railroaded back to Jersey.
Let's just trot that back out there now and at least there's hope for the playoffs... How many times have the Giants run into an 8/9 man front, not only in the years since but this season... They did it half the night against Dallas to the tune of 26 rushing yards.
Jones doesn't have the ability to beat a D from either perspective so what is the point of trying it again?
That is schematics. I misspoke by saying 4 wide instead of 3 wide. And, I exaggerated by saying 90%. My overall point remains. Jones isn't a shotgun QB.
Since you're in love with the Seattle game, here are some fun details on snap counts:
Slayton - 90%
Wan'Dale - 82%
Hyatt - 67%
Hodgins - 35%
Theo Johnson - 78%
Chris Manhertz - 26%
Daniel Bellinger - 19%
Sure doesn't seem like they did anything different with their formations based on those numbers.
Oh, and this:

rsj kicking ass on this thread. Good work!
Do you know what percentage of snaps Jones took out of the shotgun in 2022 vs. 2024?
You were already wildly off in your assumptions regarding personnel packages. So why should we believe your declarations on shotgun vs. under center?
Anecdotally, if you believe Jones cannot operate out of the shotgun, I encourage you to re-watch the 2022 Wildcard game. Jones operated out of the shotgun regularly and arguably had the best/most important game of his career.
It seems like you are upset at the outcome, and trying to work backward to a root cause using assumptions instead of evidence.
rsj kicking ass on this thread. Good work!
Honestly I don't know why I'm wasting my time with this bozo. In a battle of wits he's fighting unarmed.
From 10/3/23
That’s a taller task now, as the Giants had the element of surprise early last season with a new staff. But the smoke and mirrors offense they cobbled together started to get solved by opponents as last season progressed.
Now, it appears that the book is out on the offense. The play-action bootlegs that so frequently set up quarterback Daniel Jones for big runs and easy completions have been blown up. San Francisco’s Nick Bosa nearly dumped Jones for a safety on a bootleg in Week 3 and Seattle’s Mario Edwards got a strip sack after Jones evaded a free rusher on a bootleg on Monday.

What is there to spin? Jones played his best game of the season.
The spin you'd have to engineer to explain how the personnel and formation concerns you are expressing about the Cincinnati game were actually identical in the Seattle game.
The difference wasn't Daboll's gameplan. The difference was the opponent's gameplan and DJ's ability (or lack thereof) to overcome that.
What is there to spin? Jones played his best game of the season.
And there was absolutely nothing different about the Giants personnel/formations. In your head you imagined something about the Seattle game that was simply not true, because you needed a scapegoat for Jones playing like a fucking asshole against Cincinnati.

Yet it still took an otherworldly play by the special teams to keep Seattle from going ahead at the end of the game.
