After 3 games this kid is completing 83% of his passes, and has a 135 QB Rating.
He's also not doing this against 3rd and 4th stringers, he's coming into games almost immediately, playing against some starters and competent backups.
He's doing this as a rookie, as a 22 year old rookie.
I don't think it's a question of "if" he will emerge as a franchise QB, I think he's already there.
I think it's now a question of, does he emerge into a star or possible superstar in this league? The future is very bright for this young man.
Simply Remarkable...
Threw for 4300 yards on 66% with one of the worst OLs in the league?

If it was any other quarterback you would be ok with them starting?
You don't walk it back after the switch, it's not the right move for Jones. For that reason, I'm okay with them holding off into the season before going to Jones.

You didn’t ask that. When given time, Eli has proven he can still get it done. Are you really using the 2017 season against him with a team full of guys who aren’t in the NFL anymore?
But we have seen very few NYG QB's start out like
Mr Jones has . So to hear all of the clamor about the pick
like it was the worst decision in sports history .
Some of the comments from total idiot to racist pick
blows my mind like were in a different galaxy or something .
Out of like 53 Super Bowls only 5 players have won Multiple
MVP's Eli Manning is one of those five Is it possible
he could win one more ? Highly unlikely But nothing is
impossible .
The Daniel Jones Era is here. Time to find out how far he can take this under live fire...
Guess batting practice must have ended just before preseason game 3 ;)
Oh please just stop.
I see many have worked themselves into a frenzy already.
Just Relax. Jones will play when he plays. He’s gonna be here a long time. I swear some of you live to second guess and complain and worry about shit. Can we at least let the kid throw a real pass in a real game against a real defense before we throw out the premature blanket statements?
Friggin exhausting some of you are...
Either way. We are getting dangerously close to the day of Daniel Jones being the starting QB of the New York Giants, and that is exciting as hell.
If you want to say the Giants owe it to the team and Eli to play him (at least to start the season) because he's the better player, that's fine. I just don't see the real upside at the end of the day there. I seriously doubt this team is going 10-6 and making the postseason. (But LORD knows I've been wrong before.) No one is advocating rushing Jones if he isn't ready. But if the coaching staff feels that he is, then I think it's in the organization's best interest for Jones to start.
Preseason cannot answer all the questions. Only when real bullets are flying in real games will we know for sure.
That said, I can happily say that he has far exceeded my expectations so far. Lets hope he keeps it up.

It’s amazing what 500 lateral dump offs to saquon will do

Totally lame comeback

...Well from every reporter and coach, Eli has been fantastic. He was 4-8 with 3 drops and was perfect last week too.
First pass of game, to Lattimer, borderline drop, it was thrown low, at knee level or lower across middle on slant. Tough to call that a drop even though the booth did, several times. At least the way I saw it, not even sure there was a replay.
It was a very catable ball.
Why would you do that?

Eli has been better in practice and played near perfectly this preseason. And right now is the better QB.
I love Eli. But I am not sure if that is true. There is something about this kid that makes Eli look old. And I love Eli.
Age??
That is fact that numbers in pre season mean crap. But it is not about the stats with DJ, it is his ability to place the ball where the receiver has an easy time running after catch and most important the level headed play after 2 fumbles or a big hit the kid came back and impressed more. You cant teach or coach that. He right now throws a better ball then Eli and is far more accurate then Eli. Nobody can defend that part

I think Eli's contract will dictate that he will e the starter and the fact the the owners have absolutely no balls..
One trick pony - and its not a trick anyone is impressed with.
