have a proven QB in Jones, but people want to trade him for a potentially shiner object in Burrow, a one year starter surrounded by a plethora of NFL talent on maybe the best team in college football. Plenty of first round QBs bust. And I didn't even want to take Jones at #6 or #17. I wanted to trade #37 for Rosen.
The answer as to what to do if Young is gone, is to trade down. The problem is that the Giants haven't traded down since Accorsi took Kiwi. DG also never traded down when he was at Carolina.
You have to be careful about who DJ is saying “well if he had xyz he’d be fine.” That’s part of the reason they are in this mess, because the same excuse was used for Eli. You don’t draft a qb with the 6th pick to be fine, you want a top 10 qb who elevates his team. I think DN can be elite, but if a new regime likes Burrow better, than they need to select him.
I’m sure having DJ in place makes this job attractive to a head coach but you never know.
Eli would've been fine if they had a real offensive line. Those excuses became an issue when he was 35-36 years old. Other than the team they play for, the situations couldn't be more different.
and seeing Ereck Flowers, Weston Richburg play key roles in strong offensive line performances. Insult to injury.
I don't think either one of them are any great shakes, but they're functioning on lines that are playing well. Why the hell is it they couldn't do that here, and neither could the players that replaced them? What gives?
Richburg was a weird pick for us, he was undersized for what we ran, but he's the prototypical center for the Kyle/Mike Shanahan zone blocking scheme.

RE: RE: RE: Jones’ rookie season is light year’s better Â
Than Manning’s. Get him an OL and a #1 receiver and he’s going to be really good.
No, it's not. Eli showed improvement later on in the year. Jones is regressing.
He was only a little less bad. Jones hadn’t thrown an INT for over 100 passes till today. He’s thrown 17 TDs in 10 games
IMO Jones is far better in his rookie year than Eli in his. You need to go back and look at the video of the Giants 6 losses in 2004 with Eli starting to see just how lost he looked, how immobile he was, and how weak his arm was in terms of velocity and accuracy. Eli engineered a final victory against Dallas, but his arm was no more impressive than in the preceding six games. Jones is more mobile, has a stronger arm, and equal if not better accuracy. Is Jones better than Burrow will be? Probably not. But if I had the 1st overall pick, I would select an edge rusher or a center rather than Burrow.

Proven? Proven how?
He's done remarkably well considering the situation.
He actually hasn't. The numbers paint a picture of a fairly ineffective player.
Does that mean he always will be ineffective? No, but it's not like this has been a good year for him either.
He has passed the eye test earlier in the year, but he hasn't the last couple of games.
If the Giants were to do the right thing and clean house from Chris Mara down to the scouts, and a new regime decided Burrow was better than Jones, then you trade Jones and go with Burrow. Don't fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy.
(While we're at it, I'd have to think about what I could get for Barkley if I were a new regime as well. Surprise, drafting a RB #2 overall is not working.)
He actually hasn't. The numbers paint a picture of a fairly ineffective player.
Does that mean he always will be ineffective? No, but it's not like this has been a good year for him either.
I’d bet money he sets the rookie record for TD passes this year. He’s had a good year all things considered — shitty coaching staff, bad OL, and injured skill players every week. Dumping Jones given what we know about his floor and potential would be the epitome of dumb in favor of a one year wonder in Brrows.
But obviously this contradicts the shitty narrative you want to cut/paste on every single thread so whatever.

Again, don't agree. Jones has done remarkably well considering everything. His OL is moribund. Solder and Remmers are turnstiles, and Halapio constantly gets pushed backwards. Barkley has missed a lot of blitz pickups or has simply been run over. The end result is that Jones is being routinely hammered.
His receivers can't separate, so he has to hold the ball hoping they will. That doesn't excuse all of his fumbles, but it does help explain them.
Tate was suspended for the first four games, and was also out today. Engram and Shepard have missed a large part of the season. His #1 target is a rookie fifth round pick.
Barkley can't run, largely because of the OL.
The defense can't generate pressure, and has constant blown assignments in the secondary.
Jones has made some incredibly accurate throws and is mobile. He's also shown a great deal of toughness.
Burrow could be better. But Jones is a proven commodity. There's every reason to believe that he will be even better once the talent around him improves. Nobody knows anything about Burrow right now. I'm not taking the chance, and neither will the Giants, even if DG is fired.

"Narrative" has become a crutch for dinner people that want to sound smart.
Jones is averaging a little over 6 yards per pass, takes a ton of sacks, and turns the ball over a ton. The Giants have only scored about 20 points per game since he took over. He is 2-8 as a starter.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that counts as good, considering how precipitously standards have fallen on all things Giants.
That goes down as one of the worst draft picks in franchise history.
When was the last time you had a positive comment? Has it happened yet?
Are you this miserable all of the time or just when you log on here?
All the team does is lose. Lose at home, lose on the road, lose in bad weather, lose in good weather, lose to good teams, lose to shit teams, lose to divisonal opponents, lose to the AFC, lose in prime time, lose at 1 pm, lose on Monday/Thursday night, lose with the GOAT Eli, lose with Jones, lose with a 4 - 3 base D, lose with a 3 - 4 base D, lose with a draft bust at LT, lose with an overpaid FA at LT, lose to the loser Jets and lose, lose, lose and lose
There is basically nothing to make positive comments about. The lack of improvement or hope is the biggest problem. What is there to be positive about?

I wouldn't say Jones is proven, but up until the last couple of games before Shurmur Regression (tm) claimed him, I thought he passed the eye test.
The bigger picture though, is that if we move on from the Chris Mara/Gettleman/Shurmur regime and clean house, a new regime should have the freedom to go in a different direction from Jones if they feel the need to. I think that's all people are saying.

is a poor way to judge QB play akin to ERA in baseball. His intended air yards per attempt is incredibly low — a function of playcalling, time in the pocket and YAC.
Plus, he’s a rookie and we all know there’s a ton that’s wrong with this team. If the results look the same at the end of next year then we have to address the qb situation
are overlooking that Jones was drafted at least partially because he was considered to have the mental makeup to survive in the New York media market. That plus his play on the field are why the Giants won't and shouldn't move on from him, even if everyone is fired. Ownership simply won't hire any GM or coach that doesn't at least initially accept him as the QB.
He actually hasn't. The numbers paint a picture of a fairly ineffective player.

TD s are pretty important.
The offense isn't creating many TDs with Jones at QB Â
So let's blame the QB because he had a clown at head coach, a leaky pass protecting line, #1 TE who can't block or stay on the field, his #1 WR who is 5th round pick due to other factors surrounding Tate and Shepard. Barkley being ineffective due to injury and the already mentioned below-average line.
But Burrow fixes all those. Got it. Fucking rich.
RE: Yeah Barkley shouldn't be long for this team Â
That goes down as one of the worst draft picks in franchise history.
Saying Barkley is not long for this team is just plain silly. You don't trade or cut the best running back on the team simply because he was drafted before other players who would have had a bigger impact.

Jones is playing under a different set of rules in a more "qb friendly" offense in an era where a lot of teams are running college offenses.
RE: The offense isn't creating many TDs with Jones at QB Â
That's Jones' fault? He's a 22 year old rookie QB playing behind one of the league's worst offensive lines. His WR's aren't among the league's best either and that is when they are actually on the field which hasn't been too often. He's also been without his #1 TE often as well.
Daniel Jones has thrown 18 touchdowns in 10 starts. Â
Over a full season that equates to 29 touchdown passes. That doesn't include his rushing touchdowns. Eli threw for 29 or more touchdowns only four times in his career.
That would be a new NFL record for TD passes by a rookie QB and some are still not impressed despite the poor coaching, injuries, and poor OL.
I'm always surprised by how much fans cling to sacred cows Â
The team is dogshit, and has been so for years, but still there are fans making the case for the sacred cows.
Gotta cling to something, I guess.
I said it earlier. We aren't good enough for any sacred cows to exist. They all can go to slaughter.
My position is that there should be no conditions attached to the new staff. If they decide they want to work with players, then that is their decision and not an excuse to be used later when/if they fail.
Having the #2 pick and potentially the #1 pick, we should be keeping all options open. If the new staff decides on Chase, then so be it. But it should be clear with a new staff. There are no scholarships. DJ must improve his shortcomings if he want to be the guy going forward. And that basic reality applies to all 53 players.

This. Jones is the least of our problems. Give him a running game and defense that can get off the field on 3rd and long or 4th down for that matter and we would be a pretty good team.
said the situation here is "ugly" and that Shurmur "knows what is coming" at the end of the season. Pretty much implied that he will be dismissed at the end of the season

The old "record" stood for less than a season. Some record.
Teams are throwing and winning with 3rd stringers and low round draft choices and some of them don't have the 2nd pick in a draft drawing attention for them.
I came to the conclusion that the Giants are the worst team in the NFL Â
today. They're basically dependent on a rookie QB not to be just good, but damn near perfect in order to win games. Their defense is embarrassingly bad. The Bengals have held their 3 most recent opponents under 20 points. The Giants have done that just twice the entire season. Washington ran for almost 250 yards today. How many games would it take for the Giants to reach 250 rushing yards? They couldn't get FIVE yards on three carries on the opening possession of the game. Jones cannot game manage them to a win with 15-20 attempts (like Ducky of the Steelers today) because the other aspects of the team are so weak that they must throw in order to score points. Today, he made quite a few mistakes, some nice plays, and displayed some serious toughness. That's life as a rookie QB.
Yes, the Giants are a young team with rookies playing a TON of snaps. But the o-line with 3 highly experienced players and 2 non-rookies is pathetic. The Giants didn't allow any sacks today, but does that mean the line played well. Of course not. The kid got hit left and right.
When the Giants fire Pat Shurmur after the season, they should let James Bettcher go first. The Giants defensive gameplans make zero sense. The other team has 1 good WR. The Giants don't put their lone good corner on him nor do they give the assortment of rookie DBs any help.
At one point early in the game, damn near every player who wears a "C" on his jersey for the Giants screwed up an assignment or messed up in some way.
RE: RE: I'm always surprised by how much fans cling to sacred cows Â
Burrow could be better. But Jones is a proven commodity. There's every reason to believe that he will be even better once the talent around him improves.
How many recent Giants players have actually gotten better as their young career progressed?
The only one I can think of now plays for the Browns.
Cherry picked? But pointing to his TD pass total isn't cherry picking?
Not only that, but a hypothetical TD pass total that hasn't even happened yet.
No one is saying that the team should move on from Jones. It's just that the mere idea of doing so should not be a non-starter for a new hypothetical coaching staff or regime. I don't think he should be a sacred cow unless the best the Giants can get for trading him is a second rounder.
The answer as to what to do if Young is gone, is to trade down. The problem is that the Giants haven't traded down since Accorsi took Kiwi. DG also never traded down when he was at Carolina.

Again, don't agree. Jones has done remarkably well considering everything. His OL is moribund. Solder and Remmers are turnstiles, and Halapio constantly gets pushed backwards. Barkley has missed a lot of blitz pickups or has simply been run over. The end result is that Jones is being routinely hammered.
His receivers can't separate, so he has to hold the ball hoping they will. That doesn't excuse all of his fumbles, but it does help explain them.
Tate was suspended for the first four games, and was also out today. Engram and Shepard have missed a large part of the season. His #1 target is a rookie fifth round pick.
Barkley can't run, largely because of the OL.
The defense can't generate pressure, and has constant blown assignments in the secondary.
Jones has made some incredibly accurate throws and is mobile. He's also shown a great deal of toughness.
Burrow could be better. But Jones is a proven commodity. There's every reason to believe that he will be even better once the talent around him improves. Nobody knows anything about Burrow right now. I'm not taking the chance, and neither will the Giants, even if DG is fired.
You forgot the coaching and play-calling which is as big a culprit as anything else you posted (all of which I agree with).

I’d bet money he sets the rookie record for TD passes this year. He’s had a good year all things considered — shitty coaching staff, bad OL, and injured skill players every week. Dumping Jones given what we know about his floor and potential would be the epitome of dumb in favor of a one year wonder in Brrows.
But obviously this contradicts the shitty narrative you want to cut/paste on every single thread so whatever.
"Narrative" has become a crutch for dinner people that want to sound smart.
Jones is averaging a little over 6 yards per pass, takes a ton of sacks, and turns the ball over a ton. The Giants have only scored about 20 points per game since he took over. He is 2-8 as a starter.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that counts as good, considering how precipitously standards have fallen on all things Giants.

That goes down as one of the worst draft picks in franchise history.
When was the last time you had a positive comment? Has it happened yet?
Are you this miserable all of the time or just when you log on here?
All the team does is lose. Lose at home, lose on the road, lose in bad weather, lose in good weather, lose to good teams, lose to shit teams, lose to divisonal opponents, lose to the AFC, lose in prime time, lose at 1 pm, lose on Monday/Thursday night, lose with the GOAT Eli, lose with Jones, lose with a 4 - 3 base D, lose with a 3 - 4 base D, lose with a draft bust at LT, lose with an overpaid FA at LT, lose to the loser Jets and lose, lose, lose and lose
There is basically nothing to make positive comments about. The lack of improvement or hope is the biggest problem. What is there to be positive about?
Is he really that good or is LSU that loaded of a team?

I wouldn't say Jones is proven, but up until the last couple of games before Shurmur Regression (tm) claimed him, I thought he passed the eye test.
The bigger picture though, is that if we move on from the Chris Mara/Gettleman/Shurmur regime and clean house, a new regime should have the freedom to go in a different direction from Jones if they feel the need to. I think that's all people are saying.

Agreed.
Plus, he’s a rookie and we all know there’s a ton that’s wrong with this team. If the results look the same at the end of next year then we have to address the qb situation

What’s stupid is the same tired shit you post on every thread. Get new material.
Those stats are meaningless without context. Cherry picked crap to support a shit take.
This team is 2-8. Since 2017, they have 10 wins. No team in the NFL is worse in that time frame.
"Cant you say something positive" is a joke. Are you high?

Since Chris Mara took over as VP of Player Personnel, this team has made the playoffs once and has had 6 seasons of double digit losses.

Cherry picked? But pointing to his TD pass total isn't cherry picking?
People have lost their minds. Why stand up for anything related to this team?

TD s are pretty important.
But Burrow fixes all those. Got it. Fucking rich.
Saying Barkley is not long for this team is just plain silly. You don't trade or cut the best running back on the team simply because he was drafted before other players who would have had a bigger impact.

Terps is such a clown. His takes are pretty bad and he should probably go root for the jets or some shit. Trashing Barkley or Jones is pretty silly. They are good players on a trash team

Than Manning’s. Get him an OL and a #1 receiver and he’s going to be really good.
No, it's not. Eli showed improvement later on in the year. Jones is regressing.
He was only a little less bad. Jones hadn’t thrown an INT for over 100 passes till today. He’s thrown 17 TDs in 10 games
IMO Jones is far better in his rookie year than Eli in his. You need to go back and look at the video of the Giants 6 losses in 2004 with Eli starting to see just how lost he looked, how immobile he was, and how weak his arm was in terms of velocity and accuracy. Eli engineered a final victory against Dallas, but his arm was no more impressive than in the preceding six games. Jones is more mobile, has a stronger arm, and equal if not better accuracy. Is Jones better than Burrow will be? Probably not. But if I had the 1st overall pick, I would select an edge rusher or a center rather than Burrow.
That's Jones' fault? He's a 22 year old rookie QB playing behind one of the league's worst offensive lines. His WR's aren't among the league's best either and that is when they are actually on the field which hasn't been too often. He's also been without his #1 TE often as well.
That would be a new NFL record for TD passes by a rookie QB and some are still not impressed despite the poor coaching, injuries, and poor OL.
Gotta cling to something, I guess.

You trashed Jones but look at the stats above .....
The team is bad sure but you hate everyone on the team. You're just a whiny bitch

That's a fair point. It's pretty clear Jones is not playing with NFL talent around him.
Gotta cling to something, I guess.
I said it earlier. We aren't good enough for any sacred cows to exist. They all can go to slaughter.
My position is that there should be no conditions attached to the new staff. If they decide they want to work with players, then that is their decision and not an excuse to be used later when/if they fail.
Having the #2 pick and potentially the #1 pick, we should be keeping all options open. If the new staff decides on Chase, then so be it. But it should be clear with a new staff. There are no scholarships. DJ must improve his shortcomings if he want to be the guy going forward. And that basic reality applies to all 53 players.
That would be a new NFL record for TD passes by a rookie QB and some are still not impressed despite the poor coaching, injuries, and poor OL.
This. Jones is the least of our problems. Give him a running game and defense that can get off the field on 3rd and long or 4th down for that matter and we would be a pretty good team.

Teams are throwing and winning with 3rd stringers and low round draft choices and some of them don't have the 2nd pick in a draft drawing attention for them.
Yes, the Giants are a young team with rookies playing a TON of snaps. But the o-line with 3 highly experienced players and 2 non-rookies is pathetic. The Giants didn't allow any sacks today, but does that mean the line played well. Of course not. The kid got hit left and right.
When the Giants fire Pat Shurmur after the season, they should let James Bettcher go first. The Giants defensive gameplans make zero sense. The other team has 1 good WR. The Giants don't put their lone good corner on him nor do they give the assortment of rookie DBs any help.
At one point early in the game, damn near every player who wears a "C" on his jersey for the Giants screwed up an assignment or messed up in some way.

How many recent Giants players have actually gotten better as their young career progressed?
The only one I can think of now plays for the Browns.
Good find.
Cherry picked? But pointing to his TD pass total isn't cherry picking?
Not only that, but a hypothetical TD pass total that hasn't even happened yet.
No one is saying that the team should move on from Jones. It's just that the mere idea of doing so should not be a non-starter for a new hypothetical coaching staff or regime. I don't think he should be a sacred cow unless the best the Giants can get for trading him is a second rounder.
