but he did say he thought fan outrage over Eli might force their hand. He was right on that aspect. I don't like the pick.
If they think this a move to placate the fanbase, well that's almost more stupid than the pick.
It's almost worse if this is a reaction to the fans because a) that's just fucking weak
b) it'll be counterproductive
while I can take or leave draft 'guru's' evaluations, the eyes don't lie. This isn't a great QB, outside of some plus athleticism he's a mediocre talent who just happens to have been well coached (not that it stopped some absolutely mindblowingly bad decisions)
Now Gettleman doubles (or triples) down and just invites us to be the laughingstock of the league. I’m getting trashed in texts from my buddies and sure I’m not the only one. This is such a horseshit move.

Your source said fan outrage might force the Giants pick a specific player or position? who the F is running this organization?
I don't care they took a QB, people get all bullshit on draft day and he could be the next Joe Montana, but fan outrage dictating draft picks is a trait of a horseshit organization. It's what the Redskins or Jets would do.
folks are disappointed. I don't know anything about Jones. From what I have heard I am dubious but... this is exactly what you want your GM to do. You want him to develop a conviction about a QB and make sure he goes out and gets him and doesn't get trumped by another team. I have been a harsh critic of DG but I respect this move.
Eli Manning might as well be running this franchise Â

This, I am going to be pissed if Lock falls to 17 when Josh Allen fell right in the Giants lap and they passed. If Gettleman is wrong he just wasted several years of Barkleys career.

Are your buddies professional scouts? Then tell them to get fucked.
It's not worth investing too much energy in all this BS Imo, lol at NYG. Josh Allen is going to be an all pro, Daniel Jones will be at best a solid game manager Imo...get rdy for more misery, we might be so bad we get a shot at Sunshine from Tenn, hopefully Dan Jones proves insufficient by then so we can get a real game changer at qb sometime .

This pick is the opposite of a PR move. Hell, the biggest thing I respect about it is the willingness to do it in the face of an almost unified backlash from both "sides" of the debate.
I don't ever want to hear a fucking word he ever has to say again, nothing he says has any value. I never wanna hear his I-know-better-than-you talk ever again. Fuck him.
The Browns have passed the mantle of eternal suckitude to us.
Football Winter has come. Unbelievable. FUCK YOU GETTLEMAN
But taking this guy at 6 is insane with the defensive talent right there....This guy is not a #6 talent...show me one hightlight reel where you are wow'd....I didnt see one and thats the puff piece they put out...I dont know what to say other than wtf...
you don't have to be a good college football player Â
He apparently had the best pro day of all the QBs by far. He is tough, smart and cool under pressure. I can see the disappointment... But if they had that strong of a conviction I am OK with it. This is not a GM that reaches for a QB.... Otherwise darnold would have been the easy choice.
Eli play 2 more yrs and I think he's done. Man I hate this pick, especially with Allen on the board.
Gettleman is full of shit, best player available my ass. No way is he better than Allen, then how do you pick Barkley last year.
lectures us about how you can't reach for a pick, and then does just that. Are we really to believe that Jones was the highest rated player on their board?
They look like imbeciles. It flies in the face of the decision they made last season, which despite the media bullshit was defensible... draft the best player available. There is no way they can convince anyone that Daniel Jones was the best player available. They totally reached based on position.
This was literally the one thing I didn't want them to do.
Oh, BTW, Jone's completion percentage for passes 20 yards in the air? 28%. But that's all his receivers' fault, right?

People don't understand how bad his team was at Duke, he was the sole reason they were competitive and finished 8-5.

Josh Allen is sitting right there.

Sad.
Agreed. What a terrible, terrible pick.
DG should take Haskins at 17 -- then he can say "ya gotta have options"
Man, this team has done uninspiring work since SB 46.
Gettleman is full of shit, best player available my ass. No way is he better than Allen, then how do you pick Barkley last year.
Does anyone still trust this man?

Like always.

Holy hyperbole lol. Bowie and Jordan?
We all had guys we fell in love with but fr fucks sake, bunch of whiny cunts in this thread. Bide your time and hope for the best.
How could you tell?
Nothing against Jones, and I wish him well, but WTF? They could have had Josh Allen, and traded for Josh Rosen.
Unlikely this kid will be better than that.
Hope to hell Brian Burns is still there at 17.
I can't even begin to explain this. Josh Allen fell into your laps. Daniel Jones I guess will be a good backup one day perhaps.
And the Jags sprinted up to take him
