Will Daniel Jones replace Manning as the starting quarte& #65311;

to sooth the pain of benching Eli would be akin to fighting the last war instead of the one at hand.


The shock and fan outrage of sitting Eli has already happened. That ship already sailed and no need to fight that battle again.

If anything, the campaign would be to sooth the fans who were upset Jones was chosen. The PR has certainly been amped up to allay fears about his arm strength.

Maybe the silent majority feels otherwise, but my take on the pulse of fan site BBI is that folks are more than ready to put Eli in the rear view mirror. the furor would be more about NOT sitting him.

...not immediately, likely not this season, barring injury.

There's no point to it. Smart money ALWAYS says you DON'T throw rookie QB's in the deep end of the pool. You ease them in working 2nd team, some 4th quarter snaps in blowouts. You get them to thoroughly learn the system so when they DO finally play, they don't wind up looking like Eli did in 2004.

FWIW, we dodged bullets for years not having a quality backup behind E. Each year he got older, less mobile, more prone to injury - nice to finally have a good spare tire in the trunk!

Trying to stop Jones and Saquon in the Red Zone will be difficult for any Defense to do.

Eli can run the RPO, you're thinking of the zone read

" so when they DO finally play, they don't wind up looking like Eli did in 2004."

seems to me Eli turned out pretty good. Maybe getting game experience is a good thing.

.

Graham to break-up Denver's undefeated season. Manning in 2005 for his first 4th quarter comeback (if you don't count the hand-off to Tiki in 2004).

Giving Jones a lot of playing time will further that goal.

Really. You mean they might go 5-11 or worse yet, 3-13!

Ok then.

already posted. Check it out, every possible scenario has been discussed already.

They've been losing at an elite level for quite some time as it is.

The sooner he loses the sooner he will start winning...

Shurmur's game plan with all these new faces on offense. He seemed pretty comfortable in the second half of the season last year. But this will be another change this season again.

epic 2-yard TD pass??

Well, it WAS a big comeback win if not a particularly overwhelming play in and of itself.

Just thought it was obvious that the guy wasn't referring to the 1998 game.

with some of the moronic posts I've seen here, I can never be sure.

When "fans" have remembered a 22-play drive with almost all runs by OJ Anderson in a SB taking up a quarter, anything is possible.

How many rookie QBs make an immediate impact? Eli still has enough game.

to criticize so quickly when you don�t even have the right reference.

But that�s what you do.

We don�t Jones to make an immediate impact. We need him to begin to get comfortable with his new job.

Then we can hope he makes an impact...

I disagree with this presented as an absolute. Practice and preseason will matter. Shurmur is on the hot seat for his head coaching life. Another shit season and he will never get another HC position. IF Shurmur feels Jones will give him a better chance to win, he will start him day 1. Unless you are suggesting there is mandate from ownership that Eli must play.

All part of being a long-time troll who actually does the same exact shit he calls others out for. Useless fucking poster.

I don�t often disagree with you, but I do here. Eli is starting until and if he shits the bed imo..With Jones here, I think Shurmur buys more time here even with a lousy season. The hierarchy knows that with DJ here it�s a process. Shurmur is highly qualified to develop this guy whenever that comes to pass, even if he�s not, at this point, the perfect HC to lead the team moving forward.

Shurmur is in a sticky situation. The organization has been shitty for so long, progress needs to be shown. It's going to be a fine line in how the QB situation is handled. The org wants wins. The press wants to sell clicks, and will do its best to create controversy. The fans are fickle and will turn on the team if S rides Eli too long, or inserts Jones too early, and either produces losses. It's a dangerous minefield S has to walk through, on top of all the other HC decisions to make. Riding Eli as long as he doesn't shit the bed could easily go either way.

Those are very good points, you might be correct. If I were Shurmur and I thought Jones would run my offense better than Eli and be more productive in it I would start him right away. I think Jones needs to show progress in camp and games. I appreciate your response, you are one of the good ones.

The funnier LOL is you don't even see yourself as the very troll you remark with a sheer purpose of berating others.

Its become so commonplace for you that you even miss the point that a poster makes from time to time, like above, in the incredible hurry to just be condescending.

OMG, talk about the pot calling the kettle black... From the king of 2 line caustic posts.

Sorry, I got that wrong, at least Goog's 2 lines are pithy. Your's lack even that and often miss the mark revealing your incredible arrogance and incredible lack of anything worthwhile to say at the same time. Quite a feat actually.

The optics seem simple - the Giants fanbase is hungry for a winning season sooner than later, and that might result in pressure on Shurmur to start producing Ws.

I think barring an unexpected event - Eli falling off a cliff or getting hurt, or the team unraveling in McAdoo fashion - that Shurmur has been told 2019 is developmental and he doesn't have to produce wins, just steady progress across the roster. I think the Giants management sees this as Eli's farewell season, and barring one of the situations above will let him ride it out. We'll see quotes like 'he's not ready' (paraphrasing coachspeak we'll inevitably hear) about Jones.

With an improved OL Eli should keep the wheels from coming totally off, and the Giants will likely have another losing season that isn't a total catastrophe, maybe in the 6-8 wins category.

I agree that the season begins with Eli as starter unless he stinks up the joint, but assuming a so-so W-L record, as the season goes on he has to do more than not suck. Management will give him the benefit of the doubt, but it would be stupid to be so sentimental as to let him start at the expense of getting Jones playing time. It would be much kinder to Eli to pull him rather than let him face the wrath of a growing fan base who want to see the new toy. Not out of the question that he could hear crass boos in such a scenario.

I think that IF the OL improves, Eli will play well, but if he only doesn't suck, the season ends with him on the bench, or IR.

dep, I know you�ve been dealing with some physical issues, how are you doing?

if/when the Giants are out of the playoff race.

I am doing so much better. Not bed ridden anymore. Eating 3 meals a day. Still itch a lot.... but it�s night and day from what I was going through just from 2-3 weeks ago.

Thanks for asking!

Lol. Like I said... he�s never wrong. Just ask him.

...in all likelihood. THIS is the offense Eli thrived in, excellent running game, A+ play-action, and a diverse passing offense, including a KILLER screen passing attack.

I actually think Eli's gonna make this board shut up and forget the rookie very quickly.

That presumes the O-line is what we're hoping for.

Chucklehead...

Me likey.

Usually the last resort for you when you continually get embarrassed.

Do u think?

before you apologize to me for the third or fourth time this past season or so...

Apologizing after I embarrassed you. I don�t want you go home crying. I like your confidence. And even interacting with you. My confidence and self esteem soar knowing I�m not as sad as you :)

and let me know what u find.

No worries, as I accepted your apologies before...

Delusion and the long-troll job!

Why in the fuck would anyone ever apologize to Googs? The one-trick pony never actually posts a take - he just complains about other people complaining.

At least he's brief with his words. Because he has to be.
