He probably never watched Jones or any of his videos from Duke. He was probably just rambling what he heard from other "experts" who never followed Jones either.

People still don't think football is a team sport and great players are what it takes to win. If it was all the quarterbacks they would take a higher percentage of the cap than they do. The reason qb are still overpaid as a whole is not because of great qb play being extremely conducive to winning, but how fastly poor qb play can sink you. It is more a negative feedback loop.

Carter never watched a snap of Jones at Duke...but he certainly had a lot to say about a guy he never watched play...I can’t stand Carter..only shared it so BBI fans could watch him eat some crow.
I'd love to see Jones Duke coach from college and Carter Â
have a debate on Jones from college play. I'd pay for that. Carter talking like his 18 years in the media he knows everything about drafting talent and Jones didn't play like that in college or play in that style offense. I call BS. I'm just glad at the end he starts to recant what he originally said and admits it looks like Gettlemen knew what he was doing. Ironically he now straddles the fence so no matter how Jones turns out he'll land on the right side of it.
"(Coach Shurmur)saying that's the guy that we saw... he wouldn't have been there at 6. Alright, he wouldn't have been there at 6 if he was that good. They would have won more games at Duke"
So now he's calling Shurmur a liar about knowing Jones was that good. Shurmur knew. Gettleman knew. Chris Carter didn't know. That's the truth

and yet this ass wipe will get to spew nonsense as fact week after week and get paid for it.
because he watched highlight tapes. A lot of good throws by Jones "like that" were dropped and didn't make the tape. Still, most of us were able find more inclusive videos, and anyone with a pair of eyes could see that Jones was an accurate passer.
He’s got an axe to grind with Giants, and when praising Jones when comparing him to Haskins he’s got to qualify it somehow so he throws in “I like how the Giants are managing Jones, they are setting him up for success”, then to Haskins “the Redskins are asking him to push it downfield more”.
Translation: I called out Giants for taking Jones over Haskins and the only way to explain the disparity in their performances thus far is the coaching staffs. Lmao...Riddick is an idiot.
He did eat some humble pie and didn't do a bad job of it. And he Â
did make a positive mention of the Giants ownership which might have been a weak attempt to make up for that remark regarding racism. I would have liked to have seen him take it further, but it's clear that he realizes that he was wrong about Jones and he admitted it.

Yeah exactly. The guy is basically admitting he was wrong. Give him credit.
Other guys wouldn't even do that. Has Adam Schein admitted he was wrong for saying Saquon Barkley was a bad pick or that DG is clueless? No one gets on him for that.
quarterbacks of all time never won a super bowl. Some waited their entire career to win before finally doing it at the end of their career. it is baffling that the media is still not seeing it.

Haskins has completed a total of 4 passes over 20 yards in 40 attempts, while Jones completed 8 over 20 yards in 30 attempts. So I quess Haskins must be throwing downfield a lot, he is just not completing them.

I didn't take it THAT literally. The gist is that he wasn't playing as well overall at Duke as he is in his first NFL preseason. Shouldn't be that controversial a thing to say, right?

That's probably because Adam Schein never lost a game to us 41-0, so we can't ascribe some vendetta motive to everything he says.
He most definitely did not watch Jones at the college level because if he did, he would’ve seen Jones MAKE those types of throws, the problem is his wr ‘s dropped them every damn time.
having been a reporter and a columnist, and having worked among reporters for a long-ass time, what they write generally isn't personal. As in, they usually don't have any strong feelings about the subject they're covering, and if they do, that's not what motivates coverage.
It's a super-competitive business and reporters/columnists/commentators are much more motivated by constant competition and the insecurity that comes with it. Everybody's racing for the next scoop. With opinion, it's being both accurate and provocative. Being a must-read or a must-watch. Same with talk radio.
Big exception: I worked for an editor who used his position to reward his friends and punish his enemies. But he had the power to do that — the reporters working for him, including me, didn't have that power. We were just under pressure to bring in scoops every goddam day.
I don't care much for Chris Carter or Kurt Warner but I doubt that what they say is personal. Who at the Giants would Kurt Warner hold a grudge against at this point? The owners he played for are dead. The coaches and GM are long gone. Same with Carter. The Giants that he played against are ancient history. I don't think ex-NFLers in the media business root for (or against) "laundry" the way we fans do. Yeah, some guys are Giants for life, or Cowboys for life. But now they're in a different business where they are easily replaced if they're lazy or unfair.

Plenty of dumbasses here cried when “Jints Central” chose Gettleman over Riddick.
who said that unfortunately race has something to do with Carter, Anderson, and Riddick getting on Jones and the Giants due the racial factor. It's sad.

These people throw narratives out there then spin reporting to support a false narrative. They will never admit they are wrong and are best ignored.
Being bothered by what they say or countering their arguments is an act of futility and will only leave you frustrated. He could win two Super Bowls and the critics will call it a fluke, sound familiar?
Was it Levens? I botched that one.
that was the greatest. he was on the front page for like 6 months.

Canty - Eli had 5-6 losing seasons - completely ignores the fact that he was surrounded by a mediocre supporting cast.
RE: Carter "That's not what we saw in college" Shurmur and Gettleman drafted him based on what they saw in college. WTF?
