What I really like about him is how he ran Shurmurs system really well. Quick play action pass and get the ball out quickly. Kid looks like the real deal. I always say the eye doesn't lie. You can see his talent and leadership. Look forward to the next preseason game.
...for Daniel Jones.
But one thing that keeps catching my eye and that is he seems to have a bit of a long, wind-up motion.
Maybe I'm seeing it wrong.

I didn't notice that. The delay in his delivery seemed like he was taking a beat or two to stare down the receiver, but that's in line with his scouting report.
I liked this pick the second it was announced, last night did not dampen my enthusiasm.
Well, if in fact that proves out, what a HAUL, SB and DJ

Still smh how he managed to get that TD pass into what looked like a non-existent window. Even on replay it didn't look like a clear path to the receiver
On his 5 pass attempts the Giants receivers averaged 1.4 yards of separation. The NFL average last year was 2.8 yards of separation. So he had to be really accurate and he was.

best part is not just that he fit it in but made it an easy catch. he didnt force the reciver into the air where its harder to come down inbounds
Cris Carter isn't impressed. He played against backups and his TD throw would have been picked off.
In a way a good QB is seeing or anticipating what is about to happen.

^This. In the NFL, QBs don't so much throw to a player as to a spot.
...yes! But don't overlook the protection he received. He had a huge pocket and could have made a phone call before throwing the ball.

Well he won't have that every snap but we hope this line is good enough where it's not some sort of aberration.
One of the pregame show guys kept referring to the effect it had on Carr's teammates who all noticed the difference between he and Schaub. He also noted how it helped them all to grow and develop together and get used to his tendencies, as opposed to becoming acclimated to one QB and then adjusting to another.

The big one was forgetting to motion the tight end but Gallman saw it and picked it up and Jones got the ball out quickly before he got hit.
He mentioned that he forgot to motion the TE and left Gallman one-on-one with the DE. Forget which play it was.
You might be confusing accuracy with arm strength. Arm strength will go far. Accuracy will go straight.
Thank you, 56.....this means a lot to me coming from one so highly esteemed as yourself.
By "people I consider to be in the know", are you by any chance referring to David Gettleman and Patrick Shurmur?

While it's not a guarantee he'll be great in those situations, he has dealt with PLENTY of pressure in college (entirely too much), showed many solid throws while getting hit, and toughness to repeatedly get back up (Clemson game was worse pressure than Eli in SF, tho of course Duke lost. Still, DJ kept them in for 2.5 3 qtrs...and it was almost ALL him on O)
IMO the 'no pressure' comments re: last game imply he's never seen it, yet IMO that's probably one of his best traits (likely among the toughest rook QBs based on that). Obviously it won't matter if it doesn't hold up in the pros, nor will we know til he's in a competitive regular season game, but IMO he's done plenty to show he will be able to handle it as he develops based on his college play
To be clear, that's different than production under pressure...not sure how he's fared officially. But I am quite hopeful he will handle NFL physicality, D pressure, throws under duress if not just getting back up after hits, ready for the next play. He's shown a LOT of that resilience on his college tape so I don't think that will be some huge issue
