Is going to be unbearable once Eli plays at least the first 6-8 weeks. Now Daniel Jones is already better?

yeah this place is going to be unbearable.
The right move and the smart decision is to start Eli until this happens..
1. Eli has a couple of really bad games in a row
and/or
2. The team is like 2-6
Other than that, there is no way we are starting Jones early in the season.... and it does not matter how many nice looking passes he throws during pre-season.
Bingo. It’s really this simple. If Eli plays well and we are in the playoff hunt, there will be a lot of pissed off posters. I am positive of it.
+1

Just run the ball in. Why get cute? Just stupidity.
Just stupid, stupid football. I don't care if it is preseason. And on the play before, they were in the shotgun.
This is the shit that drives me nuts with the coaches.
But but but Pete Carroll insists it's the smart play on the goaline...
you are not giving up on the season and what is wrong with going with your future qb?
I get everyone loves eli but if you wemt with jones i dont think the players would think you are giving up on thr season...
and didnt the giants do it to start eli?
So you’re going to tell the team that guy who has performed better all of camp, established veteran - that ehhh you’re done. You think that sends a good sign?
Shit... should we cut Bethea too and start love at FS too?
And like everyone with a brain says... you play Eli until he is godawful for a few games or we are in the toilet record wise to start the year. If we are 9-3, should we bench Eli for Jones?
Bingo x2!

It is going to be messy no matter when you do it...
Giants can be 3-5 and it is still going to be messy..
Answer should be simple

Wtf? Would you be happier if Jones has looked like shit? This is ridiculous. We should ALL be happy with what we’ve seen from Jones. It doesn’t make him better than Eli but what’s wrong with being excited about what we are seeing?
Do you honestly think that getting Jones in sooner rather than later is not better for the long term? Instead of being excited about Jones, you’re more worried about the reactions you’ll see regarding Eli if he doesn’t play well. And that’s pathetic.
I'm still not sure what the point of having Eli on the team is. Getting paid a shit ton of money, is finished being a good football player and could create a real messy situation if not handled properly by Mara/Gettleman/Shurmur.
Judging by how Eli has been handled for a couple years now, it's probably going to be a shit show. There is a ton of risk, and very little reward. Everyone, Eli included, would have been far better off if he was cut in the off-season.
It's sad the way Eli's giants career is going to end. Terrific career that is going to have a black eye on it at the end because of the owner. McAdoo was a total clown, but he was right about Eli at this stage. McAdoo handled everything terribly, but he also gave the Giants a get out of jail free card where Mara and co. didn't have to be the bad guy and they could have parted ways that off-season, and they chose not to do that.
The 2019 season to me is mostly about Daniel Jones. I dont need to see Eli play a bunch of games and struggle to even be .500. Get Jones meaningful time and set your sights on bigger things for 2020. Hopefully don't let Barkley take a beating and hope that guys like Lorenzo Carter show great promise.
Way too great of a chance at a complete mess to even consider bringing Eli back this year.
The managements comments comparing the situation to Green Bay with Rodgers/Favre and KC with Smith/Mahomes scares the hell out of me. Eli has done absolutely nothing recently to make anyone believe the GIants can win 10+ games this year. The Packers/Chiefs were both playoff teams in those 2 QB's final seasons, Favre all the way to NFC title game. The Giants the last 2 seasons have been dreadful.
I'm just not sure what they are holding onto with Eli. The Giants couldn't handle the Eli situation worse if they were intentionally trying to have it blow up in their face.
This is Barkleys and Jones team now and hopefully for a long time. The sooner it's turned over to Jones, the better.
Because they should have released Eli before they drafted Jones or should they have not drafted Jones because they had Eli? Inquiring minds want to know.
Yes, a rookie QB has never been better than a veteran from day one in the history of the NFL. I forgot about that.
Your untrained eye tells you that Jones is better right now. You have no idea what it takes to be a good QB.
Do you know whether Jones has absorbed the whole play book?
Do you know whether he is making all of the right adjustments at the line yet?
Do you know whether he is making the right reads?
Does anyone know whether he can deal with a real pass rush when the season starts?
Can you tell us how well he has played against a starting defense?
I have been a critic of Eli over the years. Dep will tell you that. However, you have to look at this objectively. There is no way that Jones is a better QB yet. If you still think that is the case, then someone needs to take your car keys away because your judgement is a huge issue right now.
Bringing the absolute LULZ as usual.

I think you misunderstood my post. I’ve been as pumped as anyone with Jones. I am just shaking my head at guys saying he should automatically start week 1.
There are posters here basically saying if we made the playoffs with Eli, that it was a wasted season since Jones didn’t start.

Hi! I really wanted Darnold and spent a year bitching about it, so I'm going to repost a version of this whenever possible.
Wouldn't that just be an easier reply?

Mara is petrified of pissing off the mannings and if it was up to him manning would choose when he wants to be done

. Or sure there’s evidence of that. They have a an who can lead them and they have an heir apparent that’s learning.
Bottomline..drafted jones rid eli..or eli's team this season and drafted much more area of need say defense and made it work to draft a better group of qbs next draft. Bottomline, like it or not, they messed this up..the transition. Period
Oh well, I can choose to endure it or not.

You just can't fucking help yourself.

Wrong.
You dont think there is a part of mara that still feels bad he had a hand in benching eli?
he just did anninterview where he hopes jones does not see the field and says eli is year to year...there should be no chance eli is back next year
