Look there is something Gettleman and maybe Shurmur sees in Jones.
Cutliffe sees Peyton Manning in him, and DG insists he is talented and a franchise guy. Well if he lives up to that it is one of the most daring and ballsiest picks ever, literally ever in the history of the league. But yea.. it does seem unlikely since it is DG's take versus the field.
Though it is interesting that Belichick is said to have liked and wanted Jones. If true, it would make me feel a lot more confident in Jones.
So this is an interesting narrative at the least. the giants won't be dull
it certainly seems so. And with the vicious backlash from the fan base he should be highly motivated.
they saw something. the kid deserves a shot and deserves for the fans to have an open mind.
I'm happy he's tough and I'm glad he appears to be smart/level-headed/good kid. That stuff does matter - I just wish we rooted for a franchise (any of the other 31) that didn't think that should be the FIRST priority when drafting a QB.
Arm talent, accuracy, awareness --the things you need to score points/win games in the NFL -- really matter!

you are undoubtedly correct. Those things do matter, way more than the good character nonsense. But if you listen to DG and Shurmur's comments and Cutliffe, they see the talent there. They see a diamond there. They think he is a Brady/Manning.
True. So did Davis Webb. It's about talent. He needs the goods or Getty is fired in a year or two. End of story.
This is Getty's legacy with the Giants, right here, right now. The bed is made, sleep in it.
Why do you think Gettleman isn't high on him? If he's not high on him and takes him at 6 that would mean he is a maniac.
I don't think Gettleman would go for this. Just take a look at his tenure in Carolina.

Ownership forced this pick. I don't even think Gettleman is that high on him.

Why would "management" do that? I fail to understand why Giants ownership (not Daniel Snyder) would force an action not in the best interest of the team and their own business interests. If you have a rationale, please offer it.
