...are the number of sacks (not to mention hits) he's taken in the 7 games he has started so far. Pro-rated over an entire season, his sack level would be 59, and while that's not in the same neighborhood as David Carr's rookie year with Houston (76), 59 sacks is a very, very alarming number.
How will this impact our rookie QB down the line. Will he start taking his eyes off the downfield and looking at his feet (ala Kerry Collins?); or getting rid of the ball too quickly (ala Eli Manning?); or develop some other early bad habit that will hinder his play in the years to come?
The Giants have got to be real careful now. More game-time experience doesn't mean shit if Daniel Jones continues to be harassed, bounced around and battered in the pocket. Our offensive line is melting down right before our eyes, and if this continues, I say sit Daniel Jones and let him watch the game from the sidelines. The last thing this desperate team needs is to develop a gun-shy QB who is supposed to be the future of this franchise.
there are ways to limit the qb getting hit since we're not getting new OL till the draft or FA
Carr's situation will make anyone skittish. Jones's situation is less likely to, imo.
He's going to have to learn to go through his progressions faster and get rid of the ball sooner. That's just experience. Might as well get it now.

Its not the oline, its the scheming and coaching. How do you give up 8 sacks to Arizona fantasy football WR draft worst team in the league? Wake the fuck up Shmurmur.
we can't be worried about having a glass QB. if he's glass, get rid of him.
Jone's is tough, he needs to strengthen his damn grip lol

What a ridiculous post. Is Wilson not a franchise QB? A couple of years ago he took 200+ hits and the next closest was under 100. The Seahawks changed their offensive philosophy and wanted to run the ball way more to take the pressure off of Wilson. Wilson has been fantastic the last 2 years because of it.
Shuumur is like no adjustment Walrus letting Osi get 6 sacks in a game.
Can't stand Shurmur, he's going to screw Jones & Barkley up with these terrible gameplans.
His sloppiness with ball protection is something hard to solve.
I think Eli’s ability to avoid sacks even when defenders were on him in an instant was vastly under appreciated
With the new rules as soon as that ball is gone, qb is protected
I get what you're saying about it ruining him, but he doesn't really seem phased by it.
The Carl Nassib hit was Daniels version of that.
That pace would put him close to 30 turnovers this year. That is a much bigger concern than sacks.
Kerry Collins won a high school state championship, a college national championship, and got the Giants to the Super Bowl. He was plenty gritty enough.
DJ has won two NFL games. Let's not run down former Giants because we like a young player.
