He's looking more and more like our future QB. He'll learn from the 2 fumbles but his accuracy, ball placement, and touch has been nothing short of spectacular.
Very happy with what I've seen thus far. He's doing a great job of eliminating the concerns I had about him in short order.
He's thrown with zip and velocity when he's needed to, he's thrown with touch. His ball placement has been fantastic.
I'm very encouraged. It's backup defensive players, it's vanilla defense, it's preseason.... I get it.
But this is 2 positive showings in a row for Daniel and we should all be happy about that.
The fumbles were obviously not what you want to see, but that wasn't enough to put a damper on how he did throwing the ball.
Good stuff tonight. It's nice to see the offense actually score some points and put together some drives this preseason. I know it doesn't mean much - but in some of the recent preseasons the offense looked really, really bad. And it carried over.
Arm strength was the only real knock on him, and he appears to have more than enough to succeed. All the other stuff - turnovers, reading defenses, etc. - are secondary at this point.
Why NFL scouts were a lot higher on him than the media. He certainly has to continue to develop and learn the NFL game, but he appears to have all the physical and mental tools to do so.
You couldn’t have asked for a better start than he’s shown and he’s certainly supporting what’s been said about him in practice. Here’s hoping he develops into a legit franchise qb.

I wonder if the media saw him struggle against much better teams at times and take something off the ball for his bad receivers and made assumptions.
Was seeing him bounce back from the turnovers. You see some quarterbacks go on a downward spiral after a turnover or a few bad plays.
Same. He loses the ball. Then, our defense gets a stop. And then we score on our next drive.
Also, when it was 2nd & 19 and Jones and the offense managed to get us back into FG position and kick the FG, which is much better than coming away with no points in that situation. So far, so good.
From the moment his name was called and he became a Giant. I don’t listen to ESPN talking heads because they just like to sound impressive with all their shouting and antics. Of course they think my mocking people, like Gettleman and Jones, that that makes them more impressive. Hardly.....just a lot of hot air. I’m glad when I’m at the gym running and espn is on the tube there is no sound.

Jones’ touch and accuracy are awesome.
He has some serious touch on his passes that I haven't seen a Giants QB have in awhile. Last week's TD vs. the Jets and this weeks TD were pretty much perfectly placed and close to the sideline, which makes it even alittle more difficult. It's cool to see a 22 year old compete these passes with pinpoint accuracy. Love that he completes the short passes as well, which isn't always a given for a QB no matter how talented that QB may be.
Alot of people have touted Jones' ability to run when necessary and throw on the run with accuracy. We haven't had to see him run from the pocket for a short (or long) run yet, nor we have we seen him throw on the run yet, but I'm excited to see both since both aspects are things that even some of his past critics have said he is very good at. Him not having to run yet is a good thing, though. Means the OL is doing it's job. Still excited to see both of those aspects at some point in the future, though.
And have no idea what his upside is. But he has made a few very nice throws and most of the easy ones. He definitely looks like he at least belongs.
Some rookies are like deer in headlights
Don’t see it with him so far
And he is also playing without his top skills position guys( Saquon, Engram, shep.)
Kinda have a feeling within the next yr or two will draft him a number #1 wr too
And hopefully continuously solidly oline so he doesn’t have same issue Eli has last 5 yrs re. Oline
be the most repetitive and meaningless. dimes = double nickels? come on, why not just sing “ Danny Boy”? He had a relatively good game, made some excellent throws, some wobblers too i think. read the field ok, but we don’t have coaches view or know what else was going on. Most are calming down from media craziness on draft day. ok, let’s just move on calmly.
let’s enjoy the process and hope for the best. Especially hope the owner leaves things for the gm, coach and w/l record to determine outcome. be calm and obsess on ideation beyond childish nicknames.

Great insight brother. And I agree....short passs are not to be taken for granted. There usually are a lot of bodies around the ball and you still have to lead the receiver or at least place it in so he won’t get killed. DJ looks to be a natural at that.
And yes, when watching Duke highlights, what really got me excited was his rolling out ability and his ability to take off when the opening was there. These qualities make him special In my opinion and I feel so relieved picking him up this year vindicates our taking Saquon last year. Now we have both!

I just wonder who actually listens to these crews. Ex athletes and talking heads spouting nonsense half the time. Really, really shallow shows from an analytical standpoint.
I get it. They can't be experts on every team but they act like it so they deserve the criticism. Oh that's right. Its about building their individual brand. Not giving the audience insight.
I take it personally as I was at bc when we gave it to him. You realize it’s specifically based on Natty Ice right and thus awesome? People are such dumb dumbs

Amirite....
Jones has been fantastic.
I hope it does. That will mean he's good. Plus I actually kind of like it.
Yuck
As for Jones, I'm excited, although I'm supposed to be bitter because he's taking Manning's job.
I'll try harder
:-)
:-)
Let's not.

Literally first thing I thought when the ball left his hands "that looks like Brady." His touch is really that impressive. Really great thrower.

Dimes=Double Nickles?
You got some more pondering to do, Plato

Its better than Pick 6
Now that’s funny

Pleasantly surprised. Guess I m wondering why you are surprised ?
In that case, I hope it sticks.
Dripping in Swag!
Who knew Jones had so much swag? - ( New Window )
The nicknames and memes are inevitable, You just gotta lean in to it.
the rest need a lot of work
