Anytime Daniel Jones wants to run for 80 yards

I recall the team scoring a touchdown on that drive. Am I wrong?

I think he will actually work on finishing those runs.

Neckbeard fatasses who couldn't sprint 10 yards, much less 80.

he will, but the ridicule is just silly. These idiots who sit at home who probably could never be good at any sport at a recreational level are making fun of a man who one of the best runs ever for a qb and his team scored on that drive. I just feel more stupid every time I hit a social media app.

He wont be running as fast then. He straight up took off and didnt look back. Dead on sprint. He isnt used to doing it and getting away from NFL players isn't easy.

No, they scored.

i thought we weren't going to score a TD there, but we did. Ended up not making a difference.

Exactly. He's probably like "why is no one near me?"

Relying on that is unsustainable, and eventually it's gonna get him killed.

To the butt fumble is moronic. 80 yard gain or turnover

Awesome to see though and he reached 21.23 MPH, fastest for a QB since 2018 which is saying something considering Lamar Jackson is playing.

That's the Vikings' "don't want to watch" play.

It seems to keep working and he hasn’t been close to getting killed.

No it is not the butt fumble because it was still net a very positive play and it didn't cost them points. But you can't expect people not to laugh at it. It is objectively funny if you aren't a Giants fan.

How many people, or NFL QBs specifically can run that fast? People need to think about that before making comments. I doubt he’s sprinted that far in a long time if ever ... He played a solid game and deserved better support at the end.

They don't all have to be the same design.

They can also be improvised runs.

Its pretty obvious at this point that waiting for the 3rd read to get open is less effective than just taking what the defense is giving him.

Plays like that are unsustainable if they become a core part of the offense. A run or two a game like that is sustainable.

Heck, people talk about Murray and Jackson doing it weekly and wonder why we can't, then when we do, it still gets shit on

that they ended up scoring a TD that drive. The hot takes would have been brutal if we ended up kicking a FG and losing the game because we didn't score a TD.

and then proceeds to stumble and fall at the 10 yard line with an open field ahead of him...it's going to be a featured video clip...especially the morning after when our game was the only sporting event that day.

As I said on another thread...if Jones turns out to ba a franchise QB for the next 10-15 years the play will mostly be forgotten. If Jones fails as a starting QB, the play will forever be featured on his blooper reel.

footrace and done this? He was just too excited with nothing but endzone ahead. Better to be caught from behind than fall like this. But he is fast. No one could catch him. He'll learn from it. That play is the least of our problems. Only two or three other QB's could do this. Most would have been caught at the 50 or sooner.

Like the rest of the team, I was chuckling as well.

had a little something to do with it.

a great play by Jones. running out into the open field is his best strength.

It was a great run.... one of the best runs I ever saw from a Qb & it set up the TD & pumped up the team!! Anybody making fun of that sprint probably never played the game & is a moron!

tackled after getting maybe 25 yards. Same for many or most other starting QBs.

falling was funny, but non issue

he was flying

So you think only a moron would make fun of an athlete running for a touchdown but then simply falling down on their own?

You must be a barrel of laughs.

Does DJ run a 40 in 4.8 at the combine. He must be a 4.45 guy. He was outrunning cornerbacks.

the new, non-sports guy led with it as the most embarrassing NFL play ever, was pretty much talked down from that by the football guys (Keyshawn and Bart Scott). The explained it in such a way as it's perfectly understandable how and why it happened.

a couple of tenths

and it is highlight reel material in a mocking way. But, really, it's not all that embarrassing. This is a QUARTERBACK who outran the D for 80 yards. He is not accustomed to runs like that. If he tripped over the yard marker at midfield, that's embarrassing. But, he was gassed and his legs and balance just gave out. He has nothing to be embarrassed about on that run. If anyone should be embarrassed, it's the Philly secondary who got burned by a QB.

It takes him a bit to get up to speed ... here’s the breakout.

it would have been the third longest TD run in NFL history behind Terrelle Pryor (93 yards) and Kaepernick (90).

Pretty impressive however you cut it.

I had no idea he was that fast.

He got in the end zone but he was stumbling in the end too. It was a more difficult run but the last 5 yards or so he started tripping with no one around him, if he was 59 yards from the end zone and not 50 the same thing would have happened to him.
