Per NFL Network. Interesting development....looks like they will trade him and then go after QB in the draft

I don’t see it. If Tua develops and Jets get Watson, they might be staring down the barrel of multiple double digit loss seasons for next few years.

Their OL has really detiorated again. Their D also isn’t good and very little coming out of the draft the last few years. McCourty, Chung are old. Hightower and Gilmore are on the decline. No real weapons at WR or TE anymore. James White is a FA. QB is just one of their question marks. They are very much entering a 3-4 year rebuild.

Stafford is significantly more talented than Jones and would represent an upgrade at the most important position on the field, yet we all know the Giants won't even put in a call. And the reason they won't? Jones's scholarship status.

Or - Jones is almost a decade younger. Pointless to build around a 32-33 year old QB. Giants should look into Watson, though.

Ultimately, unless one just likes to argue stats, the only stat that matters for a QB is winning games that count. Stafford has never taken the Lions past the Wild card round. I don't see him taking this Giants team every that far.
Him and Matt Ryan are two guys  
rasbutant : 1/23/2021 8:53 pm : link
I’d be interested in. Obviously Watson would be great but the cost would be huge. I’m still not convinced he is even available.

Really hope WFT doesn’t get one of these guys.

They just haven't accepted it yet.

What's a better team in 2021? The Giants with Jones and Garrett as the OC? Or Stafford and Kitchens as the OC?

Everyone is talking about how they want to acquire wife receiver talent - that isn't going to make the offense much better. It may elevate the 31st offense to the 24th, but it will still be bad.

Trade for Stafford (offer Detroit Jones and a second rounder...that might do it) and make Kitchens the OC, and that will improve the offense more than any FA or draft picks could.

We don't have a quarterback. It's just a matter of whether we accept that now or next year.

I hope you are wrong. But I can understand the viewpoint. Jones has proven nothing to this point. But I am rooting for him and I want him to succeed. His demeanor and attitude just the way he carries himself he will make a great face of the franchise. However he has to be good enough to win.

We’d be lucky to have Stafford at QB. Just really really hoping he doesn’t go to the WFT.

I hope I'm wrong too. I'm rooting for him... Jones being great is by far the best scenario for the Giants. But wanting it doesn't mean anything, and buying our heads in the sand and pretending doesn't make us better fans. It just makes us dumb.

In his first playoff game in 2012 against the Saints, Stafford threw for 380 yards, 8.8 YPA, 3 TDs, and 2 INTs, and a rushing TD. His QBR was 87.5 in that game, which is great.

They lost 45-28. There was no "D" in Detroit that day...

This would be a better use of money than paying Leonard Williams, and a better use of money than paying a free agent wide receiver.

Trade for Stafford, promote Kitchens to offensive coordinator, win NFC East in 2021.

Sweet Lord, do you watch any Lions games? The fans here in Detroit have hated his contract extension the minute he signed it. He’s not a winner. They basically had no choice but to sign him given their mid first round draft position that year and needs in other areas. He’s now 33 with multiple injuries the past few years. I’m not saying Jones is going to be the guy, but it sure as shit isn’t going to be Stafford. Sign LW, get a stud receiver and give Jones his third season to see what he can do with actual weapons at his disposal.

Remember, Stafford had one of the best receivers in NFL history at his disposal in Calvin Johnson and still didn’t win anything.

Sooooo, you advocate trading assets for a 32 year old QB when we are only past year 2 of pur current QB and letting our very best defensive player leave in FA at the age of 27?

That is definition of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Then, next year when our run defense and pass rush falters, you will surely blame it on some other theory because you have an agenda that you are hell bent on.

I would have loved to have played sports with you and listened to you bitch, piss and moan every time you got knocked down.

Well said. I think Jones must have pissed in Terps Cheerios or something. The last QB we had who won us 2 Super Bowls looked pretty crappy his first few years and he had an excellent defense, Tiki Barber, Shockey, an excellent like, and Burress starting in year 2. People are way too impatient with QB’s nowadays.
No, its more that Terps has a cult following here  
chopperhatch : 1/24/2021 1:03 am : link
that emerged when we took Jones over Josh Allen. Everybody in that following needed a band leader (think the parent who went after Joe Clark in Lean On Me...thats Terps) to supplement all of the nepotism and good ol boy rhetoric that became the new narrative to resuscitate the same argument from the 70s. That is they spout off enough negative shit, and the Giants are terrible for another 10 years, they get equity or something in the football fan universe.

However, Jones is not THAT bad, has been surrounded by shit on offense and has played with guts. Fact is, we have to pay him 2 more years at least. If he sucks at that point, you crumple it up and try again. But the miserable, Samba wearing gemius who probably sucked at every sport he had ever played because he bitched so much has chosen to double down on the negativity and suggest trading draft/player capital to a team for a 32 y/o QB who hasnt sniffed postseason success despute playing with an all time great WR.

You truly cant make this up. Terps lives to be miserable and thinks thats a good niche spot for himself. Fact is, he is just a pompous dick who got scared away by that meatball Joey in VA.

Agreed. Them or the Colts. Both teams are missing only QBs.

I think Pitt scraps the whole thing amd starts over if Haskins doesnt work out. I think the Pats are in the same boat. Thing is they have young pieces that could have value.

As a Giant fan, would you want to take a flier on N'Keal Harry? He prob wouldnt cost too much.

Is underrated. “Not winning anything” is a fair criticism for most QBs with his won/loss record but not when they play for the Detroit Lions. This guy is tremendously talented.

Trading for him for the Giants is a little more dicey because he’s owed a lot of money and they have Jones, and he’s a lot older than Jones, but make no mistake-he’s significantly better. Unless a different style offense unlocks the “5 TDs vs Washington in 2019” Daniel Jones for every game of course.
