But I think he should start also. No chance we are a SB team with Eli. Most likely aren't a playoff team. So really no reason to start Eli. Let the kid get his reps and take his lumps.

Shurmur will start whoever he thinks gives the team the best chance to win week 1.
They are kidding themselves if they think this season is about winning now. Jones is the future: good or bad. They need to start that this year. They need to go deep in the playoffs to justify Jones sitting on the bench all year.
we go through this shit to some degree during preseason.
FMIC, I'm not sure how entrepreneurial you are but how many business ideas you think can be developed from this thread alone? Eric you may not need fundraisers with this!
The WRs weren't really separating, so if that was the case, it's an indictment on the WRs and not Jones. He threw the ball with accuracy and timing. He was perfect on that short drive against tight coverage regardless of what "string" was playing.
series, and we are ready to kick a two time SB champion (and face of the franchise for the last 15 years) to the curb? Really?
it’s a matter of when not if. Not saying Jones will start week one but it will likely be before the end of the season and bases on the last couple of years possibly by Halloween when the team is out of contention.
Face the facts now. The entire team rallies around Daniel! Let him go through the fire from day 1. Who cares what Eli makes this year, this is his final year and he and LT are the 2 greatest Giants of all time. Give him his money and say farewell in the winter or spring. Eli is a HOF based on those 2 superbowl runs... but he is far, far, far away from that player he once was. And one of those SBs is over a decade and the 2nd is approaching a decade... that's a long time since we won a playoff game guys! Face the facts... time to move on... Daniel Jones is the real deal. Dont be scared. Play the kid! Shurmur dont over think it! The best player plays and Daniel is better!
Yep
If the team starts 0-2 or 1-3 and the offense isn't humming, that's where you make the switch.
Not when we're 2-7 and it's all out of reach already.
Daniel looked incredible - couldn't ask for more than that. But I don't want to get TOO far ahead here.
Neither is he likely to start week 1, nor is he likely 'ready to go' just because of 1 good drive
He might be one of the lucky few to transition easily, but that's a bit nuts!
Been my mantra since we drafted Jones.
Having Barkley would help Jones immensely.
Whoops, wrong thread for that. That was supposed to be about the "fumble" by Tanney in the game day thread.
Its like we cant be happy that a rookie did some good things. We have to talk all dramatics haha
Next week he will throw an INT and Gettleman will be a stupid POS
Shit.. how many possessions did he play so far? And some of you want him to start already?
This place has gotten unhinged..

Next week he'll be like, 3-11 with an INT, and this place will be back to - why was he drafted? Gettleman sucks. Darnold was the man....book it

Jets defense during the Jones drive was half starters and half second stringers.
That’s a stretch. Many might think it, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Great start for the young man. Looking forward to watching him continue to develop and the rest of the NFL loudmouths eat crow...when he's ready.
Week 1 is a stretch. Eli will get his last starts. But he won't get many. Jones will be the starter BEFORE the season slips away, not after it does.
One preseason series and we should start him? I don't think so.
Eli starts the season and we'll take it from there. If he wins, he continues to play. That's how it has to be, for now.

its going to be a long preseason.
Yep
