I'd like everybody to post their official position on the Daniel Jones pick. There are so many naysayers here and I'd like to be able to keep track of who hates him and who doesn't. Because when he pans out, I don't want the revisionist historians come back and say 'Oh, he was my guy.'
There is a lot of that on this board. For the record, he was the quarterback that I wanted at 17. I don't care that they took him at 6. I see a lot that I like with him and think he'll be a 10-year starter, at a minimum. He will win a lot of playoff games. Get on the record today so you can't bs later as to whether or not you liked him.
I said the day after round 1 LAST YEAR this year’s QB’s we’re going to be poor. I’ve also said to friends, as a joke, last year was the year to take a QB and they passed which naturally means they’ll take one in this down cycle...I never thought they’d really do this...until last night.
but at 6 i'm pissed off
If he's the guy you want you grab him, especially at QB, and especially if you think Denver/Cincy/Wash also want him. The media gets into this "get him at 17 vs 6" mindset, but its not really practical. You can't predict what will happen, so you look at who is available when you pick. In 2 years when he's starting and looking good, no one will remember where he went in the 1st rd.

I didn't really want any of then because it's not a particularly inspiring group of options, and I've been saying that all year. When you have Tagolaivoa and Fromm heading next year's class, passing on elite pass rushers to reach for a QB this year makes no sense.

Were, not we’re.
It is insufferable that you still insist this board should be filled with people who all think exactly like you do. It's ok for people who are not professional scouts to have opinions about draft picks instead of always saying "Well golly the Giants scouts are professionals so I will be happy with anything and everything they do because they know better!"

No fucking way.
Please be specific as to why.
I could spend a long time telling you why....but maybe just go read Sy's report on him.
His upside is a game manager. We just drafted Case Keenum with the 6th overall pick.

Very depressing if this is how it all turns out.

I disagree. At least Keenum is accurate.
Everyone wanted a mobile one
Now that we have one, we are bitchign and complaining cause we took him too early, he didnt compile stats, he didnt look great against a team 2 years ago, etc...
It should be unanimous cause in reality how many people here can say for certainity they know the QB positon. I would be my house its less than 1%. So when someone who watches youtube videos, not even full games, and tells me what a person can or cannot do, well I will kidnly disregard them. When peopel reference PFF and other stats that uses euqations and formualas how to judge QBs - I will kindly disregard it.
Quit bashing posters because you don’t agree with them. This isn’t fucking North Korea where everyone just takes what’s given to them. Your posts are part of this problem.

No its not. The initial reactions and opinions of the posters are pathetic. Thats the problem.
Like I said, I'll root like hell for him, but I don't see a 6th pick in the guy.

People who worry about his accuracy, lets do some math.If we concentrated on dropped passes (38) and not even include catchable balls (which would make it a lot higher.) Lets say he had good WRs and they averaged a drop per game. so thats 25 more completions for Jones...
His completion percentage goes to 66.8% - what would we think about him then?
So then Allen starts 11 games for the Bills last year....and completes 52% of his passes, because he's not an accurate passer.

He's a mobile physical Tom Brady!
Because of that, I wanted this draft to be the start of the defensive rebuild. I don't care WHO they draft, I just want a certain style of player. And they drafted 3/3 of the types of players I like. Re: Jones, my opinion is the way they are building this team you don't want a gunslinger. A Bledsoe or Marino type. You also don't want a Vick or RG3 style QB either. You want a Flacco, or Matt Ryan. A good smart QB who knows how to win. I trust the brainstrust to pick the specific players to fit the profile - but I am very happy the profile is leaning back to tough football players.
Oliver/Allen or Wilkins with:
Dexter Lawrence and Hill
- or even Bush or White, or even the OT

You can do this with anybody, what QB doesn't get drops? 38 drops means he has a 10% drop rate, which isn't terrible (Lock's was about the same, but he averaged over 2 more yds per attempt, and I didn't want Lock at #6 either). 13 drops would be, by far, the lowest amount in NCAA.
Nothing. This entire QB draft this season sucked.
Reading and looking at more today, I'm less not thrilled.
I want to believe. I'll sit back and be patient, because I'm in the camp that did not want to draft a QB with the idea he'd play this season, but instead, get a look carrying Eli's clipboard. Looks like that's what we got, so ... I'm choosing optimism.
The Gil Brandt article/opinion helps. That's not nothing.
No its not. The initial reactions and opinions of the posters are pathetic. Thats the problem.
So the problem is everyone who doesn't agree with your opinion expressing their own?
You're not a dumb guy dep, but you are probably the most closed minded, intolerant person in this forum.
But he was the wrong pick at 6.

I think the issue is not having a differing opinion, its the over the top comments and accusations. Calling DG names, attacking Jones or any poster who supports the pick, etc. Its one thing to say I would have picked Allen, thats fine, its another to start calling the Giants and other posters morons
DG has to be right though. This is NY. He talked a lot of shit about QB hell and not forcing the pick. I like the bravado, really, I do. This is NY, you better back that shit up or "QB hell" is going to run him and Shurmur out of town.
It's not just one quote, he spoke over and over and over about having to right about a QB. DG and Shurmur did not look so happy at the conference last night. Wasn't crazy about the body language or energy for either of them.
I know they are tired, but they just drafted the heir apparent. They just got their guy right? 2 years, 2 high round picks and this is the guy they chose. I expected a little more oomph out of them.
What scares me is this all speculation. There is no production, winning or measurables to lean on. This is, he had bad players, faced adversity, a QB guru coach and a whole lot of faith and projection that he will be a better pro than a college player. It just doesn't mesh with the you have get the QB pick right mantra I have been hearing for over a year. I am scared.

I am closed minded? After reading all the reactions and childish marks towards jones and DG and the Mara's .... I am the close minded one?
Thats rich.
So the guy is who he is, not highly rated by Sy, and certainly not capable of overcoming the organizations flaws, which would be necessary in order to get a 5th SB Trophy.
So no rings in the future means no thanks, even though its not entirely his fault
But he was the wrong pick at 6.
My feelings exactly.
I ve wanted the next guy here, I want to be excited. But if I m being truthful it s hard to be totally behind it when 95% of the reporting on it today is negative. Can they all be wrong? Hope so.

Gettleman and Shurmur say he's the right pick and that's all that matters.

If its 95% of the average fan saying he sucks - time to get excited!
