we've had these debates over Daniel Jones and the tide seems to be really turning towards its ending after this season if not sooner. That's 6 seasons. Sure there were mitigating circumstances that made it harder to judge, but sort of clear as day now.
In contrast, was curious for fans that remember that era, how soon did they realize that Dave Brown was just not good, and at what point in which season did the fans basically revolt on him.
Curious for answers for knowledgeable fans on the board.

It’s stunning honestly.

LOL, doing your best Jack/Shamrocks impression I see.
After Phil & Hoss, it was a QB wasteland for a long time, Brown just seemed to blend in with the rest.
So, I know most of us feel that we reached to take our current QB, but what George Yound did was just fucking ridiculous. There is no way Dave Brown was going to be a top QB pick the following year.
Not only was Warner insanely accurate, this was before he hurt his hand in NJ against that arena team (it's why he was prone to fumbling in the NFL).
Brown was nothing like that. He was less than accurate in camp,and his throws were weak. I know the Giants players were at that Arena game, too. Sadly, the Giants front office didn't take advantage of that when they were in Albany.
Imagine Kurt Warner on the 1998 Giants. History might have been a LOT different if that happened!!
Even with a winning record in 1994 Brown sucked. 12 TDs and 16 INTs. Only 2500 yards passing.
His suckiness was confirmed in the first game of the 1995 season, the 35-0 loss to Dallas.

Wow are you secretly John Mara? So, according to people like you, QB's should get lifetime contracts?
"Fans" like you deserve the shit product you're getting
We also drafted Strahan in the second round that year…if we had our first round pick, who would we have used it on? Would we have still wanted to draft Strahan?

I would like to read a pre-draft and post-draft review of Brown and see how closely it lines up with Jones.
I think I have told this story before here but here goes. In the days before Sunday Ticket or streaming, I was sitting in a bar watching the Giants game and everyone was complaining about Brown. Embarrassingly, because Brown had a winter home locally, Dave Brown’s wife was in the bar and had to listen to everyone dumping on her husband.
