In the NFL's 101-season history, more than 1,800 players have 75 or more rushing attempts. Only one player among them has a per-carry average of at least 7.6 yards. That player is Daniel Jones. In his two seasons as the Giants' quarterback, Jones has rushed for 575 yards on 76 carries, a 7.56-yard average that the Elias Sports Bureau said is the highest ever by a player with that many attempts. |

Jones is third among NFL quarterbacks in rushing yardage this season, behind Kyler Murray (437 yards) and Lamar Jackson (346). His 575 rushing yards since the start of the 2019 season rank fifth among quarterbacks: Lamar Jackson (Baltimore) - 1,552 Kyler Murray (Arizona) - 981 Josh Allen (Buffalo) - 714 Russell Wilson (Seattle) - 579 Daniel Jones (Giants) - 575 |
Quote: |
Jones leads the Giants with 296 rushing yards on 31 carries, a 9.5-yard average that is the highest by an NFL quarterback with that many attempts since 1992, when Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Young averaged 9.6 yards (297 yards through 31 carries) for the San Francisco 49ers. The last NFL player to maintain such a high average at this statistical juncture was wide receiver Tavon Austin, who gained 303 yards on his first 31 carries (9.8-yard avg.) for the 2015 St. Louis Rams. |
Quote: |
Jones' 296 rushing yards are the most by a Giants quarterback through seven games since Frank Filchock ran for 324 yards in 1946. The second-year pro has already exceeded his rookie total of 279 yards and needs just 11 more to set the quarterback franchise rushing record in the Super Bowl era: 1967 Fran Tarkenton - 306 1968 Fran Tarkenton - 301 2020 Daniel Jones - 296 2019 Daniel Jones - 279 |
Quote: |
Jones also threw two touchdown passes against the Eagles, raising his two-year total to 29. That is tied for the fourth-highest total by a quarterback in his first 20 games with the Giants: Fran Tarkenton (1967-68) - 41 Charlie Conerly (1948-49) - 36 Y.A. Tittle (1961-62) - 33 Earl Morrall (1965-66) - 29 Daniel Jones (2019-20) - 29 |
Daniel Jones 4 wins - 15 loses
Dave Gettleman GM 10 wins - 29 loses
Chris Mara as SR VP Player Personnel 52 wins - 83 loses
You can probably add 2 wins to those totals and another 7 loses by the end of this year.
Cool Stats.
I fail to see the similarities at all.
Eli was a deep throwing ; good arm QB who thrived in play action pass and took what I am sure many would argue too many chances, and hated running.
jones is actually the opposite -- little arm , short passing rpo QB who is very fast and it is his best attribute.
I didn't mean to suggest they were similar by skill sets. But Jones had those intangibles that the romantics at Jints Central crave.
The Raiders manta is "Just Win Baby!"
The Giants mantra is "Just be the 'Giants Way' Baby!"

I haven't given up on Jones either, but some of these takes are absurd. Jones is currently a bottom five starting QB in the league. He's flashed but is being ruined by a crap team.
No one in the NFL is taking Jones over Mayfield/Jimmy G.
Jackson is in a different stratosphere than any of those guys. I hope whoever would take Jones over Jackson checks themselves into a mental institution.
You need to stop at the Kool Aid stand and drink a big cold glass of the Jones Juice.
If Jones had:
Tackles: Trent Williams & Ronnie Staley
Guards: Quentin Nelson & David DeCastro
Center: Jason Kelce
TE: Travis Kelce
WRs: DeAndre Hopkins & Mike Evans
RBs: SBarkley
FB: Kyle Juszczek
We would clearly see how great he is. So until we can get those players, or similar players, it's just not fair to judge Jones.
Or we can have:
TE: George Kittle
WR: Larry Fitzgerald (or is he washed up. Seems like everyone wants to do that around here to players not playing lights out any longer)
RB Kamara
same lineman as above
Then ...then we'll know
I am starting to think all these people just thought if we jettison Eli then we'll magically be back in the Super bowl. Especially if it a short passing mobile QB. um no.

Ahh - being able to work in Jints Central and the Giants Way in one post. Impressive.
Is a complete fabrication, but impressive!
But what's the fabrication?

What isn't a fabrication?? "Intangibles" might as well be code for random shit to support a terrible take.
"Romantics at Jints Central"??
Hell, I'd argue that the supposed "Giants way" was a lot more productive than the past few years when several non-Giant way moves have been made:
- Hiring McAdoo
- Hiring Shurmur
- Hiring Judge
Isn't the Giants Way hiring only cronies who bow to the Mara's and kiss the ring? Or do they have to remove the silver spoon from their asses too?
2. He is averaging 3.4 yards more per rush than pass (9.5 to 6.1), yet he has attempted 200 more passes (231) than rushes (31).

losers.com. Right up your alley. I’m guessing you’re the president?
Does anyone want to compare the track record of the Ravens before Jackson got there, to the track record of the Giants before Jones got here?
Also, I'd hate to think of what would be said about an NYG quarterback if said QB was 0-2 with a 51% completion percentage, 3 TDs and 5 turnovers.

Referencing the 2 playoff games above obviously.

But the beauty of the Ravens with LJax is they completely overhauled their offense - that fit Flacco - to fit a completely different player in LJax. It was an incredible display of flexibility and out of the box thinking...

Jackson is 24-4 as a starter with a 52/11 TD/INT split, another 14 TDs rushing, an MVP, and an offense that is averaging a little over 30 PPG.
If Jones was doing that this thread wouldn't exist, and everyone here would be going insane over him. People are lauding Jones over getting to 21 points in a loss at Philly - that ain't what life is like for Jackson. Totally different experience.
This place is nuts sometimes with the extent of the homerism.

We're starting a QB that's 4-19 with 61% completion percentage,29 TD and 38 turnovers. See for yourself what people are saying about him.
When other teams defenses are getting home with 4-5 people, that leaves 6-7 back and really everyone covered high/low. What defense is worried about getting beat deep by these WR

Let's remember he went to a franchise that had made the playoffs 3 consecutive seasons before finally missing out on the last play of the last week of the regular season before he got there.

Come on Terps, look at the difference in personal around Jackson vs Jones, on both sides of the ball it's a huge void between us and them
To really evaluate the success and value of a quarterback, you need to take all the stats, the performance of the offense, and the performance of the team to determine if the player is doing well and holding up his end.
Prime example, you look at just the positive Winston stats last year, and you'd be inclined to think that's a good QB.
I'm on the record that Jones has the tools to be a good quarterback, and always felt Jones's wheels were his best asset.
I'm optimistic Judge can take those cool stats, and translate them into success.

Including at quarterback, where Jones is not in Jackson's zip code.

Curious how Eli was able to do it against the dolphins last year ; same shit receivers (supposedly) same shit line.
So why is he at only 4.4 carries per game?
If he's going to be the guy next year, I would acquire two mobile QBs to back him up and install an offense based on the QB as a runner - like they do in Baltimore. That's how you use Jones...not as a pocket passer.
I agree for the most part. Jones in no way is Lamar Jackson but he's definitely a mobile threat and the offense should be 100% catering to his strengths as a runner. When Jackson was drafted in Balt, the offense there was not 100% ready for his skill set as they still had Flacco in the fold. Once the offseason rolled around and Balt was ready to go 100% with Jackson, they ditched Flacco and restructured the offense around Jackson. the rest is MVP history.
The Ravens did everything they could to prevent Jackson from failing.
PS I'd love to see Jones and Jackson switch places just to settle some of these QB chicken or the egg debates once and for all.

Yes because Jackson is hot garbage
South side.....pfffft
The Giants are putting Jones in situations that are not best for his skillset, and he is struggling with it. Can he get better? Absolutely. But his problems go well beyond the personnel around him. The mental part of the game is the biggest struggle I see for him.
And for those saying Jackson sucks because he is 0-2 in the playoffs, go check out Eli's first two playoff games. Spoiler alert - he was 0-2 with 2 TDs and 4 INTs.
Other mobile QBs take off when a play breaks down. Jones lacks that pocket presence. He also can't run outside the pocket and throw well consistently. Others can.
