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.

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
+1.
Lock isn't getting past #10 (Denver). Elway loves the guy.
I think OBJ was less of a deep threat once he came back from his injury. More of a slot and medium threat and then juke hi s way for a longer gain.

So why don't we trade down with him?

I’m not sure about that anymore. Sure, it still could, but I get the feeling there is a groundswell of support for Finley and Elway is in that group.

Then miss out on an impact defense player.
Eli will refuse that deal only if he thinks he can be #1 elsewhere.
Lol drafting 3 MVPs of the Senior Bowl...3rd times the charm!
Lol just kidding Im not high on Jones would take any of Murray, Haskins or Lock over him. The Giants apparently were all over Lock at the Senior Bowl and he arguably showed the best all week and in the game (despite the MVP going to Jones)
Lol. You need to grow the fuck up.

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.

Being free from Josh in the City's non-stop whining would almost be worth taking Jones. Almost.
I think you're pretty spot on here.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them grab a TE either but doubt it will be with one of the premium picks. I think with Shurmur's love for them and what seems like a shift to control the lines, getting a true dual threat at TE could definitely be in play.
He's not a gym shorts guy but he's kind of a coach's dream. Great mechanics, will figure out the offense and do exactly what you're asking him to. Will put in all the extra work getting on the same page with the receivers. Has a competitive toughness about him in games willing himself to move down the field. And you won't find him getting sidetracked by all the distractions that come along with NFL.
I realize I'm the only one that likes him - but I do. And more than that, I'm convinced the Giants will like him.

Imagine whining so much because the football team you root for didn’t do what YOU wanted them to do.
Good riddance. Absolute loser.
1) Cutcliffe connection
2) Jones looks and talks like Eli
3) Jones is smart and fits the mold of what the Giants want in a QB.
Please let this just be a lazy narrative.

I'm not sure what you mean. Jints Central loves these dots.
It's a bit more robust. Jones also attends the Manning's QB camp. I think he now attends as an instructor, and may have attended when he was a kid. And I know he's worked out with Eli on his own...

I think you could swing a dead cat and find a college QB who attended the Manning Passing Academy...
short hops a lot of passes, which gets compounded in the swirling winds
all signs point to decisions being made with a dart and a dartboard.
we're rebuilding, no we're not - we're signing vet WR's for big guaranteed money... no, we're all in on Eli... no we're going to draft a QB or maybe trade for Rosen.
Is anyone minding the store over there in E. Rutherford?
