Anyone Else Get A Sense That It’s Going To Be Daniel Jones?

Saos1n : 3/15/2019 7:05 am
For better or for worse.

Good play action passer, while we have a newly established running game. 3 year starter. Coached by Cutcliffe. Could use a year to sit behind Eli, a friend of his, which is something the Giants seem hell bent to do. Has a little mobility in him, which Shurmur has stated he looks for. Similar demeanor as Eli.

Murray won’t be an option. Rosen would start right away, which removes Eli from the picture. Haskins doesn’t seem to have the mobility that Shurmur looks for.

Recently acquired #17, with the ammo to trade up if necessary.

I, personally, hope not. It just seems to be heading that way.

Arm strength issues  
Saos1n : 3/15/2019 7:07 am : link
Terrible when he’s moved off his spot, although he’s got some wiggle.

I will say, from what I’ve seen, he appears accurate. Can he succeed in the northeast weather conditions? I don’t know about that
Unfortunately, yes  
Mike from Ohio : 3/15/2019 7:10 am : link
The arm strength issue doesn’t seem to bother DG and PS much, or else we wouldn’t likely have drafted Lauletta.

Jones at #17 feels like a very Giants move.

Saos1n : 3/15/2019 7:16 am : link
Dwayne, there could be an uproar for them to start earlier, unseating Eli. The Giants have shown that ‘doing right by Eli’ is important to them. The only option that I see, other than a late round QB, that wouldn’t cause hysteria would be Eli’s buddy.

Who knows? I’m just a dude

No. They’re all in on Eli again.

They’re gonna load up on defenders and (maybe a RT) in the draft.

Big Rick in FL : 3/15/2019 7:20 am : link
Chance they take Jones unless it's in like the 4th round.

What I do think is going to happen (Not sure how I feel about it) is that they are going to trade up to 1 for Kyler Murray. No clue why I think that. Just have a gut feeling.
Too many other needs that the #17 can be used for...

So, what about DG’s comments about the Kansas City model? That means grooming that guy THIS year. If that weren’t the case, you would figure they would restructure his deal and add a year so he can groom them next season. Although, I will admit, they could go into the draft hoping for a particular QB and if they don’t succeed, they could always restructure him later. So, what’s the rush? I just don’t see it playing out that way

From the talking heads, asshats, or insiders that Giants are interested in drafting Jones. Right now there doesn't seem to be any smoke coming from that direction.

Isn’t a day 2 QB let alone day 1. If the giants draft him bc he reminds of them Eli then that’s it for me. I’d be done.

Starting a bunch of rookies on defense doesn't make you all in. You're not winning anything by loading up on 4th and 5th round defensive picks.

it's going to be Jones, but I think they're setting themselves up to drafting a QB either at 6 or 17. I've said it before, though, that I would rather see them get Rosen so that they can go in another direction with their first round picks assuming that they send their second round plus to Arizona.

People have to read between the lines of what DG says.
"We didn't sign Odel to trade him" doesn't mean he won't be traded
"The Kansas City Model" doesn't mean they are following that model
"No guts no glory" means he doesn't give a crap what anyone says in the media or our emotional temper tantrums. He's going to do what he believes is best to build a winning program (and he achieved it in Carolina). That should mean no one is safe. OBJ got traded - Eli should have his head on a swivel.

If that’s the plan  
ajr2456 : 3/15/2019 7:35 am : link
Than God help us all. Jones isn’t good, and while Haskins has his faults he would still be a first round pick in any other draft. Jones would be a day 2 guy at best in any other draft.
I do wonder if that's the plan

Exactly my point. They think they’re going to be good enough on offense and if they mix in what they have now plus a few rookies that might be good enough on defense. To me, that’s another half measure. And I guess they haven’t learned by now that half measures don’t work.

I wish they'd stop going all in  
fkap : 3/15/2019 7:42 am : link
I don't know how much talent we can afford to trade away before we stop going all in.

One good thing about going all in is that it stopped us from going crazy in 1st tier FA (the first part of this is serious, the second part sarcasm).

No offense to whomever said it, but it's fucking moronic to cling to the 'all in' mantra. Does anyone really think they wouldn't draft/acquire his replacement this year if they thought the replacement was available? There may be reasons not to go with Eli again this year, but 'all in' is not one of them.

fkap : 3/15/2019 7:46 am : link
or a second rounder to take a QB.

17 is well past the premium QB draft spot, and way too soon to take a flier. second round is an ok spot to take a flier, but this team can't afford to take a flier and give up a very valuable draft spot.

No to a QB. No to the KC model.

Only because of Shurmur’s work with Foles(his 27 TD 2 INT year), Bradford, Bridgewater (pre-injury) and Keenum..

I don't think they're in that mode at all right now - they seem pretty content with Eli.

I expect a 1 year extension news to come sooner than later.

Daniel Jones...  
bw in dc : 3/15/2019 8:31 am : link
is absolutely the kind of QB I could see Jints Central targeting. He checks a lot of the “Giants Way” boxes.

But I don’t think he’s one of the top six available QBs. I really find nothing interesting or outstanding about his skills.

He looks like a crappy Ryan Tannehill to me.

I tried to warm myself up to him a couple months ago, but I just really don't see it.

It's a massive risk that they won't take.
Rosen would NOT  
jvm52106 : 3/15/2019 8:34 am : link
have to start if we trade for him. Why would think he HAS to start? The Giants can let him learn from Eli and get his feet firmly under him in regards to Shurmur's offense.

I am warming up to Rosen in a trade. He is far better than Haskins, Jones and Murray (Murray's size is just too much of an issue to look past). Murray to me needs to be in a warm climate and preferably a dome team that plays wide open.

And they both went to Duke, a real football powerhouse. I’d rather wait until 2020 than take Jones. I’d trade for Rosen before I would draft this guy.

TMS : 3/15/2019 9:01 am : link
without OBJ as a big deep threat. the focus seems like it will be ball control with a heavy dose of Barkley if this new OL works out. Maybe Jones fits into that scheme similar to the way Lauletta was thought too. He has the other ELI qualities with a better Ol plus Barkley and a stronger defense bieng built. Shurmur/ Shula/DG (QB gurus) were brought here with this in mind considering ELI's age. Saving picks this draft has its advantages as well. We will see and keep guessing.

Drafting a QB who best fits into a ball control scheme is begging for mediocrity
