Shit you’ve been waiting 15 years...
Wrong.
Right.
If that was true, I'd be one of the people wanting Jones to start Week 1 this year, which I don't. So...nope.
HAHA. Yes.
As a person who is actually sick, you should know better. If I said the same to you - that would be a hideous comment.
You just can't fucking help yourself.
Actually i wouldn't give a fuck. You can. But to you it would lol
That would suck, and I think it’s quite possible. Many would probably like a playoff team and the reins handed to Jones next year, ala Smith to Mahomes. But in that situation it could be dicey, DG and Shurmur probably would want to go to Jones, Mara would want Eli back for another year and Manning would want multiple years.

Why not start Jones week 1? He looks ready, right?
You’re not alone. What you said. I don’t get it either.

You’re sounding ridiculous. Mara is afraid of pissing off Manning? Come on, you’re better than that.
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
Again, people need to see what’s actually said.
1. If the giants have this unexpected season and win the division and make noise in the playoffs with Eli, isn’t that a good thing? Don’t you think that’s what Mara was implying?
2. And let’s take it a step further. In the unlikely scenario we winnthe SB this year and Eli has a great year - you’re just tossing him away?
And what could the Mannings possibly do to Mara in retaliation of starting Jones? Mara is a million times more powerful than eli or Archie when it comes to the NFL?

If the team is bad or just not in contention, I'd play Jones in the middle/towards the end of the season.
And he can easily do that playing 6-8 games, right?

but this season should be about getting jones ready to hit the ground running next year, i love eli but he is no.longer the future qb
And he can easily do that playing 6-8 games, right?
as long as he plays 6 to 8 games, i would prefer 10 but i would take 6 to 8 games but my worry is he gets the last coiple of games and that is it...
no it shouldnt be mathematically eliminated
My leash would be shorter. Say the Giants fall to say 3-6 and lost two in a row in poor fashion, and Jones is showing well in practice. Right there would be the time to make the switch. Possibility he sparks the team and saves the season.

Why are you worrying about something you don't control nor have any real idea what will happen?
Jones will be fine and we should be excited that either.
Eli has a big year and we make the playoffs
Or
Jones gets ready for 2020.
Same thought entered my mind.

Is going to be unbearable once Eli plays at least the first 6-8 weeks. Now Daniel Jones is already better?
JFC
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.
youre not hurting Jones by sitting him and you play each year to maximized your record. Not sure what’s wrong with that. It’s what normal professionals do.
Oh I absolutely agree. My point to dep is, he’s etting it up to be absolutely unbearable when the time comes to get Jones on the field. We all know he’s gonna go through the typical rookie struggles. But dep will remind us all on every incomplpass or turnover that many thought Jones was better than Eli. He is not going to be an objective viewer in this. He’s too invested.
Any sane person on the planet won’t expect Jones to perform like a 15 year vet right out of the shoots. But dep will focus on the 1% that actually thinks Jones is better right now. You watch. It’s going to happen.
The unbearable part is going to be posters clamoring everyday once the season starts for him to start when in reality Eli will be given at least 6 starts to show what he can do.
Which is why Eli should have a short leash.
Jones will start 2020. Possibly sooner. Probably not until the season is lost.
At this point they are saying all the right things to smooth the transition, but it's very telling that they didn't extend Eli. There is no way they are going to extend him next offseason and continue to sit a #6 pick. It's downright foolish to expect otherwise.
It should be obvious that the PR plan at this point is to placate a fan base that acted like morons the last time Eli was benched.

Eli's time here is almost up. It more than likely won't bother me when they switch.
I would prefer Manning to have a good season

I want him to win another superbowl. But he hasn't been good lately. And expecting a superbowl is fucking crazy at this point.

That may be true, it it’s a misplaced fear. The circumstances between Jones and Smith couldn’t be more different.
Looks a little stronger this year
