Or, I'm just not a homer and am able to admit when other teams' players play well. Geek.

He’s playing ok dunking and dunking looks like Alex Smith
Uh huh. Sure.
Dave, I appreciate the hustle of trolling those who want darnood to fail but you're laying it on heavy. I think darnold is gonna be very good, I wanted Barkley tho.
That being said darnold isn't doing much this game. He is throwing short passes, slants and alot of short range combo routes, Easy reads, etc.
This Barkley vs darnold won't be answered for years
He's a 21 year old who shouldn't even be starting yet, and is playing in the first game of his career, on the road, in primetime, with no real weapons.
Considering some said he doesn't even belong in the league, I think he's handling himself quite well, win or lose tonight.
I speak for myself, no one else. And I have plenty of posting history to prove you wrong.
Calm down guy with amazing posting history. It’s obvious that some guys(posters on this board) want to be right about Darnold so they can say I told u so and the giants are dumb. Idk why you’re taking my comments personally.
Barkley & Darnold are good & both win a Super Bowl or neither win a Super Bowl? I get that these guys will be compared forever, but is that how they're ultimately judged?

We took Barkley. Move on lol
Sorry didn't mean you specifically. I meant like we should all move on

He moved well, threw on the run well, but made a stupid rookie error by throwing cross field. That is the half you are looking for if you are starting a 21 year old in this league, especially the comeback after the pick six shows he has some mental chops. I have no idea what his ceiling will be or his floor for that matter, but I was impressed by him in the first half.
not my point. Of course good Oline play is “allowed”. It should be “allowed” on the Giants for Eli, who would be making these same throws Darnold is that you’re clearly elated by.

How does rooting for Darnold spite the Giants? That requires magical thinking that somehow "rooting" actually impacts what happens in reality. I just don't get that type of magical thinking that is so prevalent on BBI.
Gonna hurt watching Darnold win titles while the Giants search under couch cushions for a QB for the next 10 years
You should go back to "Justlurking". Even better change your name to "Stayaway"
Making fun of handles is always the wrong way to respond to a point you disagree with. But then again you’re probably one of those guys who loved taking a RB over a QB and said something like “can’t wait to get back to smash mouth football”.
You're genuinely asking why someone would bring Eli Â

Lol
Again, what does this game have to do with Eli Manning?
And I'm the defensive one? Seems like there's some insecurity in here tonight for some reason.
Specifically Darnold who fell in their lap perfectly, and particularly following a 3 win season. Lots of jawing pre draft about no franchise QBs in this draft, etc. Honestly I was shocked at how many shared that POV. Didn’t see it then, and continue to see even less the more we see of Darnold. I get that they love Barkley but RB over QB is a questionable call if both are good. And Darnold wasn’t even runner up on Giants board, by all accounts. That just seems like a poor assessment the more we see of Darnold.
RE: You're genuinely asking why someone would bring Eli Â
“LOL, if Eli had this same protection he'd be good too!11" just screams of insecurity.”
Not understanding this very obvious observation about time in the pocket and then complaining that you can’t over praise the Jets QB in peace, screams of insecurity.

What I saw coming out of college was an ultra talented qb, great kid, great personality, everything you could want in a QB....EXCEPT he had a bad penchant for turning the ball over, both via interception and fumble. I dont like qb's who turn the ball over ( see Bortles, Blake), so in spite of all that talent, I was OK with passing on Darnold. I really hope the kid does great, by all accounts seems like a great guy, but im still OK with the decision to pass. Not like NCAA stopped turning out QB's after the 2018 draft,,,there will be other good qb's down the line when we need to draft one.

For about 30yards

You know me so well.

Anderson, enuwa, Pryor isn't awful group
Oh yeah. Great group right there.
Hi LawrenceTaylor56.
Good pass rush really screws everything up in the red zone. Good Jets defense there.
Is that a sin?
Believe it or not, teams are allowed to have good OLines. Just because we haven't had one in 7 years, doesn't mean that other teams can't have one.
Ball went right through the defenders hands. Looked like a much better throw than it was in real time.
Well David Shaw for one is offended by your statement.
Calm down guy with amazing posting history. It’s obvious that some guys(posters on this board) want to be right about Darnold so they can say I told u so and the giants are dumb. Idk why you’re taking my comments personally.
Someseem to be really trying to spin his performance tonight in a negative light, why is that?

Good grief, where does ESPN find these people?!
What a refreshingly rational comment.
LOL.

Nsh? Reaallly?
Lol
And again, that is allowed. Not every team has an Ereck Flowers. And not every team would keep him for years on end, especially as a starter.
I don't remember last time I saw Eli have all day to throw.
Seriously you know wen the announcer says he has all day to throw, wen have you heard it on a Giants broadcast wen Giants are on offense....

Where did he say it isn't allowed? He was just pointing out the fact that the line is playing well. Why are you so defensive?

Wait, I'm defensive? Why is it being pointed out that the OLine is playing well? Who said they weren't?
Why is that poster even bringing Eli into this thread? It's a Jets/Lions game. What the hell does that have to do with Eli or the Giants?
Lol

Well, when others are mad that some posters have the nerve to compliment another player for playing well, yes?
Sorry, but, "LOL, if Eli had this same protection he'd be good too!11" just screams of insecurity.
Why bring Eli up?
It's been ONE half. People want to make him Brady already.
In three years darnold will be a stud and so will Barkley.
The draft is in the past....
Let’s not pretend like you’re innocently cheering on the young lad on a Giants fan site
