4 games in - how do you feel about Daniel Jones?

*

That hit to the knee he took late in the game had me in close to panic. Glad it was nothing.

Got game!!

Some good, some bad. Time will tell.

Has some very accurate throws and needs them with nobody getting separation. The tipped up int has to be thrown away earlier. The 1 to ellison was prob his worst. How did he not see gilmore? Anyway, he looks like he’ll be a good qb. Im onboard

he does not let a previous mistake effect him, he keeps attacking..

He needs to use his legs a little bit more, he waits until the last possible moment to run and sometines he holds it to long..

he has gunslinger in him and he needs to make some better reads, zones have tricked him..

i definitely think he is a franchise qb, just has to read thr zone better

Pretty much how I feel. Jury's out, but I'm somewhat encouraged. I see flashes of excellence.

I think he can play.

But I won't like my emotions go up and down with each play more than they should be. It would really suck if he doesn't turn out to be the answer.

He looked pretty bad in a losing effort last week, but against a very strong defense. He looked even worse this week, against arguably an even better defense and without his best position player, a credible RB and two of his WRs.

Let's see what it looks like at the midway point. Right now, I'm more discouraged with the OL than anything Jones has shown.

After the Tampa game people wanted to declare him a finished product. He is still a rookie and is still making rookie mistakes. That is to be expected,

He made a lot of excellent throws and showed a lot of poise and command of the field. The needle is still absolutely pointing up.

I’m 100% sold.

We are in good hands. His accuracy and toughness will continue as he learns this year. The throws he does make are amazing.

As am I.

I cannot wait to see him play a game with the full offense and some more talent sprinkled throughout roster

Another question would be - are the right people developing/coaching him?

He needs reps and he needs some playmakers.

he can be the man to lead us for many years. Though we can't fail him the way we did Eli. I'm most encouraged that against two elite defenses and with a subpar cast, he hasn't looked like crap. The way you've seen Mayfield look Monday, Darnold several times last year, and Eli against Baltimore. I'm talking about games where comp% below 50 and around 100 yds passing.

good. This game can't be considered. No running game, porous OL, receivers who can't get separation, and playing against the #1 defense. He was throwing into incredibly tight windows even by NFL standards, and forced throws to try and make something happen. He's mobile, tough, reads defenses well, and has excellent ball placement.

Strong enough arm, accurate, tough, athletic, takes his job seriously. The negatives have been typical rookie rollercoaster stuff. He's not in my top 50 concerns right now. This franchise better not fail him the way they've failed Eli for years.

are actually pretty important "good."

I give him a thumbs up so far. I'm not concerned about the QB position for the foreseeable future.

It’s not like he is playing on a great team with great people surrounding him. So, for what he has to play with, I think he is doing very well. I expect he will improve as the year progresss providing they get healthy.

The real question. This a big concern

This.

Plus he was the one guy that pursued and made a tackle on the fumble recovery.

I think he's going to be great. No reservations. He's a rookie QB on a bad team, but the team's not bad because of him.

he will be fine. He is accurate and throws into windows where it looks like he should not.

when you have the surrounding cast he has which is missing three starters and a top back-up. What did you expect. That along with all the turnovers, just was a matter of time.

He is solid just needs others around him

and get us to the playoffs frequently. However, he needs help, as does every QB. He needs a better Oline and running game. That will make his job easier. He also needs WRs that can get separation and catch.

I have not seen the first half yet (I was out). Were DJs two first half interceptions on him? Really bad? Was he under great duress? Did he just throw it hoping our guy would win the fight? Can you describe them for me. Anything would help.Thanks.

He's really just going through the rookie life cycle right now.

Tonight is tough to judge because we were undermanned, especially on offense, and he was playing an elite D on the road.

He did continue to show poise and toughness.

Just needs to clean up some rookie mistakes.

He looks good to me. Now if he's still making the same mistakes in 2 years then I would change my opinion

He’s a top 10 qb within 3 years

if only the other skill positions could stay healthy.

Defenses not having to contend with Barkley is huge

He holds the ball too long which allows the rush to get to him. That pass he tried to throw to Ellison is a head scratcher. Aikman was yapping about the safety who was nowhere near the play.

He is a work in progress. But he certainly looks like he will be pretty damned good.

Good thing we didn't do that to Brady.

We might have been handed out a multi-game suspension:)

Who will only get better with the experience he is getting.

Yeah he made some mistakes tonight but some of those throws he made were amazing given the window he had

That alone gives you a chance in the NFL. There's plenty of rookie QBs I can think of over the years who look scared to death. He's not one of them.

No yapping, Aikman was pointing out that it was cover 2 zone which allowed the corner to be aggressive underneath

With ball placement. Will that eventually result in less INT’s, more consistency (week to week), and most importantly, more wins? We shall see. Despite the high number of INT’s right now, I am encouraged. Now, DG needs to surround him with more help in the form of better protection, weaponry, and a defense.

Jones didn't disappoint! I really liked how he completed quite a few passes where the receiver was well covered. You can tell he has experience throwing to well covered receivers in college. DJ was able to really thread the ball in such a small space.

I think he's going to be a very good NY Giant QB for a long time.

I just rewatcjed the play. I think there was some miscommunication and someone was supposed to run a route to the flat. The play made zero sense. It let the corner sink hard on Ellison. Ellison ran the route too flat as well. DJ needs to recognize that.

He’s working with nothing but he’s showing plenty. He’s got everything except the super cannon. Mobility makes up for that slight negative. Liked him in college and after a few NFL games I Iove the player.

Season was over in week 2 but he gives us a lot to build around (along with rookie class that looks really good right now especially the DT). Next year, load up on defense next year. Get another WR/OT.

Jones gives us hope for a quick turnaround.

not a good game from Jones by most measures. But it's his 4th game so he gets graded on a curve. The TD to Tate was a great throw. A few other great throws as well. But tonight he made several bad throws that led to turnovers. We must see him clean these things up by the end of the year. There area lot of bad QBs that look like this from time to time and mix in the odd good game -- Marcus Mariota anybody? James Winston? The mark of a great QB, at least in the Jones style, is his ability to repeat properly executed throws. You rarely see peak Rodgers or peak Brady blow a bunch of throws all the time. Ultimately Jones has to be more perfect. If he can achieve that - then we're talking..

Had this kids balls. Yes he makes many mistakes and looks like a rookie out there. But he also shows glimpses of a seasoned veteran at times and has made some really terrific and gutsy throws. I love that he isn’t easily shaken, a great QB needs to have a short memory, he doesn’t seem fazed at all when he makes a bad play or takes a big hit, bounces right up and keeps it going. THats the stuff great QBs are made of, he has a ways to go but I have seen enough to start being convinced he is the guy. Just have to hope he keeps improving, either way it will be an entertaining ride and makes the Giants worth watching again. And I was someone who initially didn’t care for the pick and was really becoming apathetic on the direction of this team from the past couple years, this kid has given me some hope.

.

A lot of good throws, but also rookie mistakes which is to be expected. As some have pointed out, I’d like to see him play consistently better as he’s in the 8+ game range. See coverages better, and limit errors.

He is very physically talented and very smart, but like to see more consistency.

He’s been getting hit a lot and that isn’t sustainable. I’d love to get a high level OLT in next years first round. I know the defense needs help but our two cornerstone players also need help to let them shine.

...if we get him a decent OL and some WRs that can stay on the field, he’ll shine.

offense still sucks with the injuries and sketch line play, especially out of the tackles, so, surprise! we're going to keep losing to decent teams.

Honestly, if I am right and this is what Jones turns out to be, then we're fucking golden. Eli was much worse starting out, too.

Same. I'm confident we have something here. What degree is TBD but he's a guy you can win a championship with under his rookie deal if you can stack the deck. I'm sure of that much.
