AndyMilligan : 9/15/2019 5:48 pm
278 yards 4 TDs in the second quarter

That is what a great, franchise altering player looks like.
Cool story

he's unreal. he's on another planet. He can see it thirty yards down the field and it's there. And there are several others who are really not that far behind. I am not sure we have that in daniel Jones and we need to play him to find out now.
He is a rare

rare talent. If he keeps this up he might be in the discussion for greatest QB of all time.

seriously, for peak performance, I think he is already there. I just haven't seen anything like him going back to the early 70s. Will his career be that? Still a long way to go. But his peak level.. I just have never seen anything like it.

He also wanted to run 11 personnel 107% of the time and thought Gino Smith might save his job. Stumbling upon Mahomes as a great prospect, in his case, was probably an accident.

Let's be honest here. McAdoo's final season was besieged with injuries and a mutiny that was out of control. Was he the perfect guy for the job? Probably not? And it looks like Shurmur isn't either. McAdoo was Mara's Oliver North - a fall guy...

But the guy got us to the the playoffs. Our problems extended way beyond him - pervasive incompetency upstairs.
I only hope that when they give Jones the chance they let  
Blue21 : 9/15/2019 6:05 pm : link
him play to his strengths. He's mobile like Allen hope they use it. Doesn't mean he has to be recklass but if they try to make him an Eli clone then we'll have the same results.
Or, you know  
Hsilwek92 : 9/15/2019 6:06 pm : link
McAdoo was just a terrible coach put into a terrible situation. It’s not like there are teams busting down the door to hire him as a HC again.

I agree but if he can't win in the pocket like all the greats then he probably isn't the guy.
How is that, ‘the story’?  
Hsilwek92 : 9/15/2019 6:10 pm : link
Yes, the FO is inept. But, again, McAdoo hasn’t been some kind of hot commodity since he was fired. He wasn’t a ‘fall guy’. He was bad.

Hell, the argument can be made that the FO is so damn incompetent that the hiring of McAdoo was a terrible move at the get go.

there is an organizational dysfunction. That's our problem. McAdoo is gone. He's not the problem now.

Who thinks Eli is a top 10 QB still? I think after today the consensus is that he should not be playing anymore even from his strongest supporters.

Ok, I get it. So you don't want to credit the guy who saw the special abilities of Pat Mahomes. Fine. McAdoo knows nothing about evaluating talent...

Of course, neither did Reese his last 5 years.

I agree. And I also think that disfunction made them needlessly panic when they heard the Eagles were looking at McAdoo as a possible option. The front office has been shit for a while now. The McAdoo nonsense just amplified it

Why does he deserve credit? For liking a QB? So the fuck what. He was a terrible HC and, he hasn’t even sniffed a HC gig since he’s been fired. Hell, I haven’t even heard his name mentioned much, if at all.

PhiPsi125 : 9/15/2019 6:24 pm : link
Want to give him credit for getting to the playoffs? Fine. But then taking that playoff team and losing the entire team in epic proportions the following season...and make it seem like the was something the poor guy had to deal with? Get the fuck out of here, he created all of it.

Losing seasons really bring out the best in fans, huh? This place is weird.

The irony in all of this close to decade long mess is that McAdoo was the first one to recognize the rotting in this franchise. Of course, he couldn’t do anything to fix it, but at least he recognized it.

McAdoo deserves credit because he saw Eli was very close to being finished. And he realized this organization needed to pivot and solve that problem. So he saw a great prospect - Mahomes - and pushed for the organization to trade for him.

But because the clowns at Jints Central still thought Eli was a SB caliber QB we missed out on a potentially franchise shifting opportunity.

So we're left with retread GM, a HC who should be the head coach for a high school team, a great RB who we should have passed on, and the future QB, with a lot of question marks, we refuse to play...

Oh puh-lease. He didn’t recognize a goddamn thing. Otherwise, he’d still be here.

Christ. The way this is coming off from some of you, you’d think the Giants let Lombardi or Landry walk out the door again. Meanwhile, McAdoo’s been out of the NFL since he was fired. Hasn’t even been hired on as any kind of coordinator or anything else.

He fucking sucked. Plain and simple.

Hasn’t had a job since he’s been fired because he’s fucking terrible at the job. He hasn’t been black balled. There isn’t some grand conspiracy against him. He isn’t some sort of misunderstood genius. He just plain fucking sucked. Period.
