we've heard his reviews of him in the past 2 years....and most of us I think, scratch our heads.
Last night was the 1st real good look we've gotten at him, and its clear he's a pro. Handles the blitz well, is accurate, has some savy to him. There is a reason why he's stuck in the league for all this time. The kid broke all kinds of records in college. He can flat out play. Going to be interesting to see his decision between him and Lauletta. Technically you could let Lauletta walk and try to sign him on the P.S......my guess is he would get picked up though.
And I know you haven't declared him the #3 yet, either, Andy. More of a #justsayin
Eli notwithstanding since he only had 3 plays - but as we all know, Jones was pretty much perfect in his lone drive and Tanney did play well.
Maybe the Redskins will need a QB to replace that Haskins kid. (I joke, I joke)
His numbers looked good last night... but the arm is really bad, no?
he threw a few that didn't quite get to where they should have been... and on a couple KL was saved by great WR play (incl the TD IMO)
Obviously no final decisions should be made after 1 PS game, but Tanney definitely looked like the more complete QB.
Yeah, I have mixed emotions on those throws. On the first, he did have pressure coming right at him, but he recognized the rush and threw the ball to the right man (but the ball was low).
On the TD, was that good or bad throw? I'm not sure.
There wasn't any room to fit it over the top with the safety coming over. My thought is he threw a well placed ball accidentally
Quote:
I feel he had a horseshoe up his ass. He led a scoring drive topped off by a TD but he severely underthrew 2 passes. One was wide open on the right side of the field. The other was the TD. Don't let the commentators fool you. That wasn't a back shoulder throw. That was a poor throw and a great adjustment by the WR.

Funny I saw something very much like that (was it good or bad) with L.Jackson of Baltimore. The play by play guy was like, look at that development from last year to this year, that pass was perfectly thrown to the receiver. Ray Lewis and Brian Billick both go that was a bad pass intended for the TE crossing the field and luckily caught by the WR down the field. The play by play guy goes, was it bad or was it to the receiver? Lewis goes, that was a bad pass!
I hope the Giants draft more later round QB's and maybe they can start spinning them into higher draft picks.
Passing stats were impressive last night. I am sure they will really emphasis the run game the next two weeks. Being able to effectively run and not just the explosive runs will significantly dictate this offense's potential imo.
Tanney is still young enough to be a backup for a few years so the competition should be which of these guys can come in if needed and win games the best and not draft status. Tanney may also be really good in the QB room and assisting the starter in prep.
Taney is the guy you want behind Jones though when Eli is gone. someone needs to be the vet he can go to.
Best fit for 2020 Is Jones/Tanney/Lauletta. And hopefully 2021 just Jones/Lauletta.
How we get through this year with all 4 will take creativity if nobody gets IR'ed. May KL to PS, Maybe just cut Tanney and hope he stays on the couch next to the phone
I'd just as soon keep Lauletta as the #3. He's shown flashes and may pan out as a good, cheap backup.
Neither played with, or against starters. Both are under contract and could be traded for a player we need. We'll see how good Shurmur is at predicting the future.
The next 3 games have suddenly become very interesting.
Yeah right. Maybe later in the season, I'm all in.
How do you know he can win you a game, he has played in one
game briefly...in his entire career. Lets not get too excited, he is playing against backups.
If you think otherwise, you saw something else other than what I saw...
It was a combination of everything a QB is supposed to do that drew my criticism of both of them: too slow to read and react, too weak in the arm, not accurate enough.
A perfect example of this was one roll out to the right side on a 3rd and 3 play, where the deep receiver on that side was one on one with a safety and poorly covered. Eli unloads that ball in a heartbeat to the deep WR. Tanney, or it might have been Lauletta by that point but I'm pretty sure Tanney, held the ball and ran for a first down.
Awful decision.
The advantage of being at the game is you can see that mistake easily, whereas a camera following the QB wouldn't show you the deep receiver wide open.

Agreed and that ball just flat died on the TD. Kyle doesn't have the arm strength nor accuracy for me to be a capable NFL backup.
I also don't think we need to carry 3 qbs. However, Tanny can clearly play as a backup. He just is not needed.
He should be on the roster and back up Jones next season
