I'm not trying to say Daniel Jones is playing great but he's been ok and whatever he's been he's been better than Dwayne Haskins. I shouldn't have to qualify this but this is no way a race discussion but race is a part of the picture. Some People in the Media will rip Jones no matter what he does because they can't admit that whatever he is he's better than Haskins. People went to extremes to trash DJ for being picked over Haskins and I don't think he's ever going to get a fair shot with some people because they're raw about him looking like a decent starter right now and Haskins looking like he should be out of the league. I'm black and I can say it still rubs me raw that the implication that Jones being white was the reason he was picked over Haskins was actually a take. Like I said this is not a racial or political post but that was one of the asinine things I remember from the Jones V.S Haskins debate that was egregious.
They also say the turnovers are a problem, which they are.
It would be one thing if Haskins was lighting it up and there was some room to look back and say we made the wrong choice. But, is there supposed to be some solace in Jones not sucking as much as Haskins? Not for me.
Exactly with DJ there is an extra layer of hate and it stems from people being mad that for as bad as they think he is he's better than their Golden Boy Haskins.

Are you a media member? I clearly said media members not Giants fans. We can look at Jones through the lens of being Giants fans that want the team to get better. I was just pointing out the extra emphasis on how bad Jones is has another layer behind it.
The good and the bad with Wentz was on display last night. He’s got a laser for an arm, and zinged some throws into tight spots before our defenders had a chance to react. And credit where due, his game winner to Scott was a perfect throw.
But he also makes several dumb throws, and he’s never going to last exposing himself to hits the way he does
But if Engram catches one ball Jones dropped right in his hands, the story today is all about how Jones led a second half charge to beat the Eagles in Philly
He is taking some ribbing for the run last night. That is separate from "he's a shitty QB."
Name several QB's in the NFL that could well with the offensive talent we have right now.

This.
I have heard many be very complimentary of Jones, including Terry Bradshaw last night, pre-game, who called him "the real deal."
There are a lot of positives and I read/see him get some credit for those things. Also, the ball security criticisms and, maybe a notch less down the alert scale, the bad decisions passing the football, are justified.
People have long memories, and these nitwits know that if the Giants ever right the ship with Jones under center, those quotes are going to follow them around for a long time.

when it comes to Darnold, Wentz, and even Watson their poor performances are due to bad coaching/offensive line/supporting cast.

Pretty much nailed it +1
