I thought this was a fair comparison. Drafted 7th Overall as the highest player ever taken from the University of Wyoming. Started early into his rookie season after Nathan Peterman started poorly. This is how they compare through each players first 19 starts.
J. Allen D. Jones
1167.....Snaps Taken.....1185
543...Passing Attempts...660
74.5%.....QB Rating......82.6%
55.4%....Completion %....61.6%
19.....Interceptions.....18
16........Fumbles........22
50......Sacks Taken......55
19......Passing Tds......27
11......Rushing Tds.......2
I tried to be as transparent as possible.
Jones fumbled 3.2% of his attempts and Allen 2.8%.
One major difference, which we all know, is that Jones has had to learn a new system under the NFL's covid restrictions.
Giving up on him at this point isn't warranted in my opinion. Isn't it more enjoyable to root for the kid to be the Giant's version of Josh Allen?
Nobody is comparing Murray to Jones because you can't. Murray is in year two of his offense with DeAndre Hopkins as his WR1. It matters.
It doesn’t matter on BBI. There’s no difference between a past his prime Larry Fitzgerald as the #1 receiver and DeAndre Hopkins. Pointing out that players are dealing with different levels of coaching, running games, receiver talent, and offensive linemen is apparently just an excuse and not stating the obvious.
This is how Giants fans are - especially with QB’s. They are quick to make judgements and have zero patience for player development.
Jones has shown he has talent and and he is tough and competitive. He also has shown a propensity for turnovers, but we need to remember he is only a few games into year 2 and playing in a new offense with no preseason and very little talent around him. Let’s see how he develops throughout the season.
