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
Fuck off like you've watched a single game Jones played. Why don't you go post on a Jets site instead of wasting your time here trying to convince us that the Jets are a well run organization.
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.
I’ve watched him play plenty snaps. I’m not an expert but there’s nothing excellent about this guy. He’s average through and through. His ceiling is Alex Smith and that’s being kind
you pass on allen/oliver/bush to add punch to a team desperate for defense to pick a mediocre qb who might be good way down the road. pick smells of desperation by the owners.
I could live with it. No one can be sure about these things. But if Daniel Jones busts I won't be able to handle it because I will never not believe that they picked him because they were "comfortable" with him due to the Cutcliffe/Mannings connection.
How do you justify taking him at 6? He's there at 17. They literally did this so DG can stand up there like a prick and say in his phony boston accent "we had conviction, you don't get cute when you have your guy." They used the 6 pick in the draft so they don't have to answer a tough question to the media.
but no way were they going to replace Eli with a black QB. Instead they wanted a guy who will look and act like Eli, even down to having had the same coach. Jones will be no threat to Eli, who will still be starting in 2020 and maybe beyond.
JonC's comments pretty much say this orginization fucking Â
stinks from the head. Making football decisions because of fan outrage? John Mara is such a beta cuck it is unbelievable. Must be nice to inherit an NFL team.
I am absolutely stunned that we passed on Josh Allen Â
I am going to root for him and hope that he is a success for my Giants, unlike some people on this board who wish for Barkley to fair. The good news is I don’t have to hear these whiny bastards crying for a quarterback. You got what you want. You better pray the defense is fixed, because there are not going to be impact players if the edge rushers are gone.
I think he has some very good traits but I would not have taken him at 6.
+1
I think this will be seen as a reach but we won't completely regret it. Hopefully there's some upside here because I'm a little worried he's a game manager that you're happy to have on a first contract only type. 6 is rich for that but I respect that they took their guy at 6 and didn't mess around.

Not a power thrower, Jones is more of a touch passer. He's very tough and a hard worker who wants to get better every day. Jones completed 60.5 percent of his passes in 2018, but was hampered by drops from his receivers. He's very athletic and can run. This well-coached player makes me think of Danny White, who was a quarterback for the Cowboys in the 1980s. Jones has size (6-5 1/8) and 4.7 speed. He's very savvy, and I think he will be a good NFL quarterback. There are lots of things to like about him.
Took too early. DG imitated George Young and just stayed in place, not risking anything.
Here's how I see it. Jones plays for Cutcliffe for 3 years, he attends Manning camps, there has to be a tremendous amount of trust in Eli and David Cutcliffe to make this pick here. I don't on the surface like it, but I didn't like Eli over Big Ben or Rivers along w/ the traded assets and maybe we win more with either one and the extra picks but we have two rings with Eli. Jones played with awful talent, no OL and his WRs dropped tons of passes and he still led a bad Duke team to a winning record. I question his arm, I really do, it's not something I like in a QB when he can't rip it. I'm going to wait, watch and see what happens and hope we're right. I don't think he was the right pick, I really don't but I'm getting on board, because we root for this forking team and I'm sick of hating everything they do.
FUCK DAVE GETTLEMAN, fuck the entire front office, there's no fucking plan. They just dismantled whatever little core this team had and used our #6 pick for a JAG when we could have had Josh Allen. BPA my ass.

Disagree... It should have been Allen. However, I think Haskins has character flaws... The Bengals just passed on DH. I hate the Jones pick, but ur off.
on the QB class of 2020. We’ve been told up, down, and sideways that Eli is the QB for 2019, and I can’t imagine in my wildest dreams that they’ll take a QB in the first round next year after investing #6 overall this season (and not letting him play).
Honestly, QB at 6 felt like it was truly the only awful answer this year.
I really despise the decisions this organization has been making for the last 3-4 years running. The frustration is beyond words.
so pick a player that outrages the fan base to outweigh the outrage over eli?
solid logic...from a terriblly run organization
Why? So we can be even more disappointed and pissed off?
Yup. Sweat? Wilkins?
Nice job DG for keeping a lid on things....
Only good thing is we had our choice and we took it. No more we need a QB threads either.

This is why the Giants are losers.
Whatever you want to say about Gettleman, the guy has the courage of his convictions.
I have backed DG until this move and now he can kiss my ass
People don't understand how bad his team was at Duke, he was the sole reason they were competitive and finished 8-5.
Dude, it's Duke football. Duke teams are bad every year. Jones is trash
Only good thing is we had our choice and we took it. No more we need a QB threads either.
Are you sure we still won’t need a quarterback?
This. Manning Mafia at its best.
Spoiler alert: he doesn't.

We tried to trade up to 8 for Allen but he went too quickly.
Looks like we're sitting tight now.
Just had our asshats fooled.
Definitely a reach doesn't really matter though. If he's right on this guy not going to care that it wasn't exactly a value pick.
If he's wrong however, well what a shitshow of a hire.
Nice job DG for keeping a lid on things....
Now that’s finding a silver lining

Fuck you Gettleman
If Eli surprises, then great and if not then they go with Jones next year.
Let's give this kid a chance fellas.
